Dr. Andy's Reviews > In the Ravenous Dark

I loved this so much 😭😭😭😭

Dark queer fantasy is easily one of my favorite genres. It's tied with dark queer sci-fi. I just need all the dark queers basically, yes.

In the Ravenous Dark follows Rovan, a pansexual bloodmage who has spent most of her life hiding from bloodmage council (I can't remember if they have a name). Either way, Rovan ends up where she least wants to be: in the palace and shackled to a Guardian who is in charge of keeping her in line. Picture a brooding and moody half ghost.

Between Ivirlos (ghosty boy) and Lydea (super hot princess), Rovan's heart is torn and this is before the three of them find out a realm shattering secret. The three must decide if they can trust each other enough to work together.

Hi yes this story ends in polyamory and I was slayed by it. Also, I 100% believe Japha exists in a queer-platonic relationship with Rovan and Lydea and I AM HERE FOR IT. This book is so fucking gay and dark and like this is want I need in my life. I need more of this. I loved Rovan with every fiber of my being and how selfish and determined she was. The girl screws up several times, but it never makes her stop. Also her anger at the world is something I relate to a lot.

There was a huge plot twist/switch of direction late into this book. It blew my fucking mind. I'm still not over it. I loved every damn second of this book.
