this book is trans as f*ck 💕🏳️‍⚧️

it is full of trans joy and trans sorrow and trans hope and trans magic and it is an absolutely stunning read. i went into this book mostly blind, and i would encourage you to do the same. just know that if you are a fan of the found family trope and you also feel a simmering rage towards meta right now, this book is for you. it comes out on april 29th. if you are a trans person or you love a trans person, read it 💕

[review will be uploaded to instagram @shelfconscious.library]

A coven of trans witches battles an evil AI in the magical coming-of-middle-age romp about love, loss, drag shows, and late capitalism. ​

Going into this, I didn't know what to this. I certainly wasn't expecting it to be so funny and full of heart. "Awakened" was both adorable and hilarious. It felt alot like a queer version of the avengers. I really liked the dialogue and the the play on some philosophical themes, especially related to identifying who you are. Having a trans author's perspective is important for this conversation.

It was a good time and made you think. I can't wait to see what else Osworth writes.
