This poetry collection allows for a glimpse into the life experience of Estlin McPhee. However, "In Your Nature" is not just a collection of personal experiences but also gives you the opportunity to see famous characters and figures in a new light.

From Harry Potter and the comparison between his life and transgender life experiences (especially clever with that series' author‘s transphobic mindset) to Joan of Arc, characters for poems that will be stuck in my mind long after reading them can be found throughout.

Besides the people presented in the story, I also loved the thoughts on religion and relationships, no matter if romantic or familial, in connection to realizing your gender identity. Regardless of how much you can relate to the story being told, you will be left pondering these lines.

Incredibly personal and filled with intriguing concepts, this book is for everyone interested in reading about gender exploration in a magical and fantastical world. 

Thank you to NetGalley and the Brick Books for providing me with this ARC in return for an honest review.
