There's a reading guide at the back of the book to help you understand what in heck is going on. The book is a wild, complex, world-building extravaganza. I'm not a fan of fantasy, sci-fi, or queer YA fiction in general and this is a marvelous mashup of all three. There's a bit of dystopian fiction in there too, my least favorite genre. And yet I loved this absolutely wack novel by the unhinged genius Benjamin Rosenbaum.
