I am very conflicted about this book. The writing is very good, the descriptions of the worlds are intriguing. But it feels very clunky. It feels like 2 different books mish-mashed into one.
I was really intrigued by the premise of all the men (anyone with a y chromosome) disappearing. There are some 'odd' sentences about trans folks here and there, but I don't think it's malicious or terfy, just misguided.
All in all, an interesting read. But the execution let it down a bit.
