The Brilliant Death

i'm not entirely sure how i feel about this overall, but i can say that i really enjoyed the conversations and scenes regarding genderfluidity, which i thought were beautifully done. i think that this book's shortcomings fall with the overall storytelling, as the plot meandered and the pacing felt off after the first 30% of the book

also, i'm a sucker for a good book with sibling heroes (see: the bone witch trilogy) so i had gotten my hopes up that there was going to be some of that in this book but uh... mild spoiler alert? i was disappointed?
