Thank you NetGalley and Pan Macmillan for the chance to read an arc.

I really enjoyed the first book, A Marvellous Light, but sadly I could only read half of the sequel. On page 209 I came across an ableist slur which was extremely unnecessary and could have been replaced with a variety of different words. I decided to try and keep reading but my enthusiasm had dwindled greatly. Then on page 220-221 I came across a passage which seemed transphobic to me and decided to read no further. I won’t be recommending this book for these reasons.
