Didn't like this one.
It was boring and only had something interesting start on page 100. Then I skipped the next 100 pages and read the ending. Don't regret it. 

Loved it. Need the next book! 

If you liked Caraval, Once Upon A Broken Heart, Uprooted, Vespertine or Poison Study you may enjoy this one! 

Each chapter of the book has its own trigger warnings for content as it deal with mistreatment of black people, esp. black women and black (a)sexuality, and generally is informative on what constitutes acephobia and the narration of asexuality as "abnormal" and an illness thoughout history. I added some of them below. 

The book focuses in on asexual people who do not experience sexual attraction at all. 

The book focuses on US history and context. 

This book will show you the clear ties between white supremacy, the patriarchy and capitalism to  racism, queerphobia, and compulsory sexuality. It will share with you how black sexuality has been forced, shaped and willfully misinterpreted by white supremacy agendas. It will also contain testimonies of lived black asexual experiences. And it will end on a positive note on the futures of asexual people. 

Loved it. 

Loved listening to the audiobook! Such a good story to be drawn into! 

Really enjoyed the listen. It's fun and just super entertaining. 

Okay. Just didn't interest me enough right now. 

I loved getting back into Sanderson's writings. Had to read these before catching up with Cytonic a few years after reading Starsight. I LOVE the characters in this series. The snails are a hearty, comic relief that brighten the reading experience so much. This was great entertainment today!
