Analysis of her works

Her novels are part of a progressive literature: she features heroines who can be black or trans women, and the heroes always have, alongside their superpowers, burdens linked to a traumatic past.[7]

Her writing is also part of what has been described as hopepunk, as opposed to the dark, pessimistic dystopian genre known as grimdark. Judith C. Vogt and Christian Vogt probably published the first hopepunk novel, Wasteland, which describes the lives of people living in a market surrounded by violent gangs, the market constituting a Utopian world in a dystopian environment.[8]
