This author understands suffering, and trauma, and self-loathing, and in those ways I was really able to relate to Danny as a character. I'm a cisgender man, and maybe this isn't my place.but this author GETS IT. Most of all, I'm glad that this novel got a proper epilogue compared to the abrupt stop of the first novel. The Nemesis stuff I feel a little uneasy about, but I'll have to see how the author realizes that later down the road. We really get to see Danny struggling with her character flaws and inner darkness. The world-building is as phenomenal as ever.

There were times where I kept pausing it to draw out the pleasure of the experience, or because the emotions got too intense for me.
