Gore (not excessive, but there’s, uh, a scene or two for sure) Death of queer characters, but most main characters are queer and also these deaths aren’t exaaactly permanent! Death (lots, major and minor characters) This is pretty upper YA/can cross over into adult, and a dark book. This is not a content warning so much as a notification of content, but there are on-page sex scenes (two, one f/f and one m/f) and lots of cursing, quite a few f-bombs included. Get ready for a blood-spattered, kiss-filled roller coaster ride. It also has the queer found family of my heart, which makes this book one of my favorites. Queerness isn’t really an issue in the world unless it messes with heirs/lines of succession and then it’s policed a bit, but don’t be too concerned about major homophobia or transphobia since it’s generally accepted. It has a pansexual main character (though that word isn’t used on page in this Greco-Roman-inspired fantasy world), a lesbian love interest, an asexual and nonbinary major supporting character (they/them pronouns used throughout, no misgendering), multiple f/f relationships and a m/f/f relationship. It stars a young woman (19), Rovan, who falls for her hated guardian, gets entranced by a beguiling princess at the same time, and starts a revolution in both the living world and the underworld. This book involves blood magic, death magic, a spooky underworld, and ghostly guardians. Author, here! Now that the (AMAZINGLY GORGEOUS) cover has been revealed, let’s talk content + content warnings.
