Our Rogue Fates by Sarah Glenn Marsh
I LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH. The longing, the YEARNING, so so so good. Reading about messy queer characters in a queer-normative world is so satisfying. I feel seen, I feel like it’s okay if I don’t have everything figured out because maybe that’s normal. Maybe we grow and find answers as we go. Mal, in particular, was my favorite character. I connected so much with the way he just wanted to be accepted for who he was. Truly, though, all of the characters weaseled their way into my heart, and I can’t wait to spend more time with them in future books. Alys! Alys, with her mushrooms, deserves only good things. Griff rounds out the main trio, and he was so fun to read, just a sweetheart who knows what he wants and takes exactly that as soon as the opportunity presents itself. The world-building is very contained in this story, with glimpses into the wider world that have me itching for more. We got a slice-of-life adventure that was the perfect way to introduce both the characters and the world. Tastes of more to come, peeks at higher stakes in the future. The romance is at the forefront here, but the larger conflicts going on in the background make this feel like just one quest that will lead to many more, and that is exactly what I want from this sort of fantasy book. I can’t wait for Our Rogue Fates to release so I can push it into the hands of every romantic fantasy reader I know. Fans of Dragon Age? Check this book out. Fans of wandering quests like The Hobbit? This is the book for you. Looking for more queer love stories in fantasy? Marsh has delivered a book just for us, and it feels like coming home.
