Wow. My word. What an accomplishment. Not perfect, but on the whole so gratifying and far-reaching. Definitely going on my very short list of books I actually might re-read.

My gods. What a world, what worlds, what universebuilding this is. Truly out there, and I love it so. You have to be bought in, and I can't blame anyone who hates it or is not along for the ride, but my god. It is exquisite. I have long held Hyperion, for all its follies, as one of my favorite works of all time, and this fills a similar cup. Twisty and layered and delicious.

Got my paperback just in time for the longest chapter yet, half again as long as any previous, and my god, how is there still half of this book left?? Where are you taking me, Ada??

Read the last 70 pages in one sitting, which is notable for me these days. A fitting conclusion to this chaotic book, looming forward to finishing the series!

Finally picking this series back up, just accidentally stayed up reading it until 3am after settling in at midnight for a quick chapter 😅
Every ninety years, twelve gods incarnate as humans. They are loved. They are hated. In two years, they are dead. …
A powerful graphic memoir about coming-of-age, coming out, and competitive figure skating.

I'm deeply impressed and also a little sad about how relevant this book is that even nearly thirty years after its publication and fifty years after its setting. There's so much more space for people like me to exist than there has been, space this book helped create and which I am endlessly grateful for, and yet the core struggles around gender and identity are strikingly similar, even as someone who's going in a different direction. Really incredible work.
