In The Ravenous Dark Review

Spoiler Free Review!

‘In Thanopolis, those gifted with magic are assigned undead spirits to guard them—and control them. Ever since Rovan’s father died trying to keep her from this fate, she’s hidden her magic. But when she accidentally reveals her powers, she’s bound to a spirit and thrust into a world of palace intrigue and deception.

Desperate to escape, Rovan finds herself falling for two people she can’t fully trust: Lydea, a beguiling, rebellious princess; and Ivrilos, the handsome spirit with the ability to control Rovan, body and soul.

Together, they uncover a secret that will destroy Thanopolis. To save them all, Rovan will have to start a rebellion in both the mortal world and the underworld, and find a way to trust the princess and spirit battling for her heart—if she doesn’t betray them first.’ – Description from Goodreads

Thanks to NetGalley I received an e-arc of ‘In The Ravenous Dark’ and i’m so very glad I did! I initially requested the book because of the gorgeous cover and the interesting sounding plot and it did not disappoint me.

I have to say that ‘In the Ravenous Dark’ was one of the best books I’ve read this year, the twisting plot points kept me gripped from beginning to end and made me feel all the emotions throughout. One of my favourite parts of the book is how well the characters are written, as the reader, I felt so connected to their stories and experiences and felt so attached to them. After finishing the book I genuinely miss these characters and all I want is more (you know it’s a good book when you miss the characters)

The LGBTQ+ representation amongst these characters was achieved brilliantly, it wasn’t made a major plot point but just part of the characters which is something I love seeing within stories.

Finally, the plot points were planned out perfectly, you learn the information as the characters uncover it without working it out ages before it happens (which often makes stories less enjoyable) and the ending was so high energy and dramatic, I just couldn’t put the book down (not that I wanted to).

There are definitely some TW’s for this book such as violence and gore, so read with caution. But I loved this book and will be recommending it to everyone from now on.
