Book Review: "By Way of Sorrow By Robyn Gigl"

 


A legal thriller determined to make you sit down, shut up, and notice trans-gender injustices!

I'm not a person who normally reads LGBT books and in fact shy away from them because I cannot connect to them on a way that I feel is deserving for the authors and its fans.

However, I took this book not realizing it was part of this genre and found an entire new world surround trans that would never have been made possible if not for reading this new work from Robyn Gigl.

The injustices, the demeaning nature, the disregard for human life based solely on gender even when being worked through the justice system was disgusting ,dehumanizing, and cruel.

When Erin a trans herself goes to defend Sharise a trans prostitute facing murder we find a hoist of situations that arise with very little empathy from not only the judge but the prison system designed to hold individuals with respect and dignity.

It was truly a sad state of affairs but one in which the individual on the other end of the stick was running for a political position and it began to fall into place as to his own actions.

This was a good and solid read that I would highly recommend.

Thank you to Robyn, the pub, NetGalley, and Amazon Kindle for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.
