Ravage the Dark by Tara Sim
4.0
It's gay, and it does slap.
I had honestly forgotten how much I truly loved the world Tara Sim had built-in Scavenge the Stars. Until I was 34 pages in and remembered how fantastically queer this world is. Do you want representation? We've got it. Demi-Sexuals, Trans Characters, Lesbians, Nonbinary peeps all pop up within this book in a way that shows this is normal for this world, and it's great.
I am sure I mentioned it in my review of Scavenge the Stars, but I'm a sucker for the idea of broaches that indicate pronoun preference.
I loved this book truly; it was full of heists and drama, AND so much character development, especially from Cayo. It was interesting watching him struggle with the addictive behavior he shows when it comes to alcohol and gambling, which I have never seen in Young Adult books.
I loved 95% percent of this book, the last 5% being the ending. I personally felt like the story had been built up for a reveal that wasn't equative to the reveal we actually got.
I would still recommend this series because, in reality, it was more about the journey than where we got. I would definitely recommend reading this duology back to back.
