I received this book for free through Goodreads First Reads. It reminded me a bit of a Tamora Pierce book, with a young person going through trials not normally for them, and beating the odds. It had potential, but it was a bit sloppy. I felt like the timeline was very rushed, events didn't take a logical amount of time, and the book seemed to take place over only 2 days instead of realistic weeks. I also thought that Sallot made too big of a deal out of being gender fluid - I understand that people using the wrong pronouns is irritating, but it seemed like every few pages it was complained about. People you meet for the first time are rarely going to address you properly, regardless of how you change your clothes.
