Story
On a cold Sunday evening in early 1957, Sarah Dewhurst waited with her father in the parking lot of the Chevron gas station for the dragon he’d hired to help on the farm. This dragon, Kazimir, has more to him than meets the eye. Sarah can’t help but be curious about him, an animal who supposedly doesn’t have a soul but is seemingly intent on keeping her safe from the brutal attentions of Deputy Sheriff Emmett Kelby.

From the New York Times and internationally best-selling authors of The Illuminae Files comes a new science fiction epic.... It's 2380, and the graduating students of Aurora Academy are being assigned their first missions. Tyler Jones has been a star pupil who hopes to recruit the squad of his dreams but ends up with a mixed and volatile crew. And Ty's squad isn't even his biggest problem - that'd be Aurora Jie-Lin O'Malley, the girl he's just rescued from interdimensional space.

Felix Love has never been in love - and, yes, he's painfully aware of the irony. He desperately wants to know what it's like and why it seems so easy for everyone but him to find someone. What's worse is that, even though he is proud of his identity, Felix also secretly fears that he's one marginalisation too many - Black, queer and transgender - to ever get his own happily-ever-after. When an anonymous student begins sending him transphobic messages, Felix comes up with a plan for revenge. What he didn't count on: his catfish scenario landing him in a quasi-love triangle.

❤️❤️❤️
I started to read this a while back and got bored so put it down, only to find when I picked it back up again that I was only two pages from the big twist - irony, eh?
Once I picked it back up I got really into it and had finished it by the next day. I highly recommend persevering and keeping up with the book, because once it starts up properly you can't put it down.
I loved how all of the little drops littered into the first half came together into an ocean of twists and turns. The feeling of OH MY GOD THAT'S WHY THAT OHHHHH sweeps over you and you completely fall in love.

I think the format of the book is better suited for reading than an audio book. But i still enjoyed it very much. I couldn’t stop once past half way. Very captivating. Good twists. Stimulating story.
