4.0

I liked this more than Children of Dune, but still less than Dune Messiah. I really loved the beginning because of the journal/interview format, the middle was kinda boring, and I liked the ending because

everyone that needed to die, died!

Overall, not terrible.

informative reflective

(I don't rate non fiction)
This was an amazing collection of essays and interviews. Davis is great at having conversations about intersecting all struggles to bring awareness to everything and everyone that needs support.

I love this book and Pet so fucking much. I love this book more tbh, but it's mostly because I just love Bitter and I love her relationship with Aloe. These books will forever be in my heart.

1.0

I really didn't like this. I thought the premise was cool before I read it, but then I hated it when I was actually reading it. I also wasn't a huge fan of the art style. It probably just wasn't my thing.
