Why is revolution so heart breaking? I just finished this book and am sitting here, stunned, as I try and process all my feelings. In short, this book was so good. I got so damn attached to the characters so I'm heartbroken over the ending. But that's the nature of a revolution, isn't it? You don't come out of it unscathed. We don't need heroes. We need normal people to do a little bit, just what they can.

This is a cute and easy read. A little spicy, a little bit of wish fulfillment. I thought the mix of political courts and superpowers was interesting.

If you have sat across from a group of people and realized, with a widening abyss in your chest, that your fullness will never be welcomed and understood in that space, then you will resonate with this book. It is heartbreakingly lonely. It punched me in the gut and I thanked it for the time. Don’t expect resolution. The tenuous space between being known and being unknowable, the pain of being knowable but having no one that will put in the effort, of seeking to be known and both getting hurt and hurting others in the process… all this exists indefinitely.

I love a book with bits. There were a few character bits that kept being repeated and I was laughing every time. Also, this has a quality chaos character.
