i havent read anything like this before, and i really enjoyed it! the last book in particular, in my opinion, was a master class in writing. that being said i did feel like the writing style was inconsistent in its impact (at parts i felt like it really dragged and was superfluous just to be superfluous, and other parts it really added to the scene and magical elements of this book). i also think the book can really push to see how uncomfortable it can make you feel (mainly the fifth/sixth wound scenes) but that is unfourtantely a huge part of the trans expeirence

 “But the beauty- the beauty because I became beautiful. That, too, was irrefutable. Did I become beautiful because I had failed to write a perfect sentence? Or because I had failed to write his perfect sentence? Because I couldn’t bear to believe there was no sentence, no sentence at all, to make him stay in bed, I became a writer so that his eyes would no longer be interrupted by the sight of my ugliness, so that speaking to me was like hallucinating a garden of swaying branches, so that he could tell me I was beautiful without lying. I thought I could never be Helen, so I became a wooden horse.”
