This superb memoir-but-also-fantasy-fiction is one of the most feminist things I've consumed, and possibly only intersectional feminist book at least in my memory. I'm judging this like I do memoirs: my rating is based on storytelling and moving the reader through stories and time. It was just excellent. It took me a minute to get into it (when does it not take me a minute?), but of course I eventually did. I loved the fantasy elements as metaphor, even if they were obvious I loved them regardless. I also thought Echo Brown did an excellent job with characterization and depth of side characters even though the story is told from one POV - the best authors are able to do this is in my opinion. Highly recommend for all readers teen and up. For those who pay attention to trigger warnings, I would look those up before starting this book. P.S. fantastic as an audiobook.
