When the Moon Hatched

The prose was not well-written. It was hard to get past especially with conflicting similes and tired cliches.

Whew! This one was a tough read, not because of the content mind you but because I chose to read this after the US 2024 elections. Stunning story from the start that captures the anguish, beauty, and dysphoria of being trans. If you are religious, this book may not be for you. The rest of us heathens will like it just fine!
