Please note, my low star rating is more a reflection of my tastes as a reader than the actual quality of this book. The story heavily features rape and suicidal ideation, two topics that often cause me to set a book aside. I'm glad I finished it though, because I am always curious about anything written by a nonbinary author. My favorite piece was actually an essay in the back in which the author reflected on the process of writing the book, which is told mainly from the POV of several god-spirits who are trapped in human form and wish to end their embodied experience to return to the god-realm. For these deities, the death of their human would be not a grief but a homecoming.
