Reviews and Comments
we are aphantastic and very slow readers, usually reading a bunch of books in parallel. we mostly read about anarchism, bread, neurodiversity, sci-fi, and cosy fantasy. our pronouns are it / they (plural). (Avatar: reading fox emoji, from Volpeon's Neofox emoji set)

omg I'm glad that I read chapter Fourteen at a safe place*. It was brutal at some points.
(* that safe space is my favourite spot on the local cemetery. yeah, call me a goth girl who reads witch stories on cemeteries, if y'all so desire...)

One of the authors asked on Mastodon what he could do to make the (printed) book more "accessible" to the intended audience, much of which are affected by disabilities. I replied and mentioned the elephant in the room: make an e-book version available, preferably cheaper or gratis, since (1) e-books are more accessible "ability-wise" for many people, and (2) many of the disabled people in the alleged target audience are poor. Apparently gratis wouldn't work (because "publishers need to live from something"), and we haven't seen any digital version of it sold in digital bookshops.

I'm still interested in having a glimpse into the book; maybe we could ask a local library to get a copy of …

it's a bit weird (and sometimes difficult, but maybe it will get easier) to read a book in German. had this book on the reading list since the author is on fedi (and also part of a plural system).
just finished the Prolog, and it looks really nice 😌
