The Fever King by Victoria Lee
5.0
5/5 stars - An absolutely wonderful novel; I'd rate it higher if I could!
I want to come back and add to this in the future (probably when I read this again—and there will be re-reads!) but for now I want to post SOMETHING to capture how much I enjoyed The Fever King. This my short retail-site review; I like to write longer ones for GR, but I'm still not able to find the right words to talk about Noam Álvaro's story.
In The Fever King, Victoria Lee spins a tale of intrigue and unique magic that is simultaneously relevant and entertaining. It's timely in a socio-political sense, dealing with issues like immigration and government corruption. At the same time, it stands as a suspenseful novel with morally complex characters, a well-developed dystopian setting, and an ending that'll leave you craving more. Whether you're a teen or an adult fan of YA, I highly suggest picking up a copy of this grimly beautiful book.
I'd recommend The Fever King to fans of the X-Men and Victoria Schwab's Villains series.
Side note: The main character is bi! It's so nice (and rare) to see a character state openly that they're bisexual without any obfuscation or waffling.
