First of all, I would like to thank NetGalley for providing me an e-ARC of Hierarchy of the Unseen in exchange for an honest opinion.

This novel follows two queer characters who both were going to the same place. It took a while for them to meet, but their first meeting was really done well. It scratched an itch in my brain that I, myself, didn’t even know I had.

My favorite thing about this book is that the world building does not have homophobia and transphobia. It seems like such a cheap reason for it to be my favorite, but as a queer non-binary person, it’s so hard to find a novel without homophobia and transphobia that still fits my radar. I’m so glad this novel is one of those.

In addition, the world building is amazing. I didn’t have the highest expectations going into this novel, but the author— they amazed me. I would love to read more of their books.
