Shadowplay by L.R. Lam

5.0

I enjoyed this even more than the first one. Micah continues to be fantastic intersex rep, the worldbuilding gets a bunch more page time, the story arc is solid. I really enjoyed how Micah's relationships with Drystan (romance) and Cyan (bonding over shared identity/supernatural abilities) were handled, I enjoyed Maske as a character because he was complicated, I enjoyed that the focus was less on Micah coming to terms with his identity but how his past (being socialised as a girl and now living as a boy) still affected him in certain situations, especially in his friendships, and how he navigated that. I am on to the next already and can't wait to see how it all ends!
