I really, really didn't want to say goodbye to this book at the end. It opened up a lot of the same feelings as when I first watched Labyrinth years ago. The sense of possibility in this story is endless, every paragraph a different turn, yet the entirety of the narrative makes whole sense.

I fell in love with wild girl Desdemona, found a very soft spot for Chaz, and found home within the creatures of the deep.

I read both a physical copy and also listened to the audio, switching between the two, and I found the audio version really came to life with the author narrating it, telling the story how it was meant to be told.

I thought this book would be more about the usage of English pronouns in contemporary culture, but it pleasantly surprised me. It turned out to be about a complete history of English pronouns and historical uses.

The most interesting part of this book was how it allowed me to have a much better idea of how and why politics about gender and pronouns have had such a backlash in recent years and how this is not the first time that such a thing has happened.
