Absolutely gorgeous. I heard Essa’s interview on Standing Room Only and placed a hold at the library the next day. They have such an incredible way with words, so many lines in ransack felt like a punch directly to the heart in the best possible way. Really means a lot to read such gorgeous, specific, perfectly articulated poetry about non-binary identity.

This one took me a while to really get into it, but god I was so hooked by the end! Very excited to start the next. The interaction between Jedao & Cheris is just so so good.

Oh, wow, this was such a pleasure. It was recommended to me and i added it my lists before realising Casey Plett also wrote A Safe Girl To Love, which I enjoyed a whole lot, so that was a nice surprise! Little Fish runs along similar themes with a similar style, and I really enjoyed it. The full length story fleshes things out in a really nice way after reading the short story collection, and damn, I'm just hit again by what a fantastic, unique experience reading works by trans women authors is. So many bits hit me right in the gut, in the best, most emotional way possible.
Ohhhh my god this was SUCH a good read. It got recommended to me by narrative muse and I'm so glad it did...
The writing is just so enthralling and I got so attached to so many characters and the last portion left me in so many tears, I'm so emotional but so happy to have read this at the same time
This was a bit of a slow burn for me but by the time I got halfway through I was definitely hooked! The last quarter was such a good ride & I'm v excited to read #2!
