I am so happy I finally got to read this book. I remember seeing so many rave reviews about it and it definitely earns every single one of them. I put this book on hold in February and I'm so glad it finally came in.
I loved this book so much. The characters are amazing and beautifully written. Thomas has such a lovely writing voice and I can't wait to read more books from them.
I loved the way they wrote about Yadriel's experience with being trans and how that affected his life and even his family's culture. And watching him slowly fall in love with Julian was swoon-worthy.
I felt like the world building was so perfect too. I wasn't left with any questions about why things were the way they were and it was great to get immersed in a culture that wasn't my own and learn more about it through this book.
There really isn't enough good things to say about this book and if you haven't read it yet, you should definitely get on that.
