Love when the fascism is no longer creeping but fully self-actualized. Spoiler: it ends on an optimistic note. ( ) diverse teen fiction--LGBTQ interest with trans and gay werewolves, a nonbinary-gendered zombie (they, them, their) just trying to survive high school, and other "monsters" and sorcery in modern Salem, OR; author is genderqueer (xie, hir) #ownvoices. This ran a little long but I enjoyed spending time with the characters, each loners at the beginning but by the end a supportive and loving chosen family. This book resonates especially with people who are more familiar with LGBTQA history (shock therapy to "cure" werewolves and other magical creatures, homelessness and prejudice experienced by many of the characters), but even if you are only vaguely aware of these issues it adds another layer to the story. 4.5 stars RTC representation: nonbinary main, Muslim lesbian main, several LGBTQAI and POC side characters content notes: misgendering and deadnaming (mostly due to character being closeted, not intentional), death of family members, body horror (because zombies), police brutality, racist rallies, bullying -- nonbinary protagonist ✓ nonbinary author ✓ zombies ✓ witches ✓ werewolves ✓ in Salem?! ✓ yeah this is going on my TBR aucune critique | ajouter une critique

"Genderqueer fourteen-year-old Z Chilworth has to adjust quickly to their new status as a zombie after waking from death from a car crash that killed their parents and sisters. Always a talented witch, Z now can barely perform magic and is rapidly decaying. Faced with rejection from their remaining family members and old friends, Z moves in with Mrs. Dunnigan, an elderly witch and befriends Aysel, a loud would-be-goth classmate who is, like Z, a loner. As Z struggles to find a way to repair the broken magical seal holding their body together, Aysel fears that her classmates will discover her status as an unregistered werewolf. When a local psychiatrist is murdered by what seems to be werewolves, the town of Salem, Oregon, becomes even more hostile to "monsters," and Z and Aysel are driven together in an attempt to survive a place where most people wish that neither of them existed. Rarely has a first-time author created characters of such immediacy and power as Z, Aysel, Tommy (suspected fey) and Elaine (also a werewolf), or a world that parallels our own so clearly and disturbingly"-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
