I got this one as a lender with the premise of, "ooooo you'll love the historic Quebec City trans convent story" and they were right, I did. It is a fun collection, taking fantasy and flights of fancy to make transitions beautiful and grotesque, bleeding a bit of body horror at times with resolving dysmorphia and imagining worlds where gender is less static and so are the limits of our flesh to change.

Most memorable stories include the convent story, the self-titled story and one which features someone transitioning into a rock face then a mountain.

it is riddled with Canadiana and references that you might pick out from your travels. a worthwhile read I am happy i had it out and picked it up and put it down over the past few months

Started this series literally cause it is sci-fi on mars and talking about class conflict. This first book follows some really tired trends in sci-fi, overdone by YA fiction, of a school for youth who are trained in conflict to prove themselves. but this isn't a YAF booked, there is copious amounts of blood, the politicking, and alliances are more complex. It was definitely a slow burn for me where by the end of this first book i was invested enough finish the series.

a sneak peak to book two is I like it much better so consider working though it. Definitely a space opera for those who despise them, so you have been warned.

Recommended to me by the pregnant clerk at the bookstore for the hot nun sex in the convent. (for the sake of narrative, lets pretend she was hitting on me!)
