Shades of Wicked: A Night Rebel Novel by Jeaniene Frost
2.0
ian is my favorite character from the original series, but somehow he isn’t as good in his own series (i had the same problem with vlad tbh).
also: why bother making ian canonically queer, when we don’t really get to see it? like yeah, we see him being flirty with some dudes, but that’s it. i personally always head-canoned him as bi/pan (idk maybe it was canon from the beginning but i don’t think it was explicitly stated before ‘shades of wicked’) and also kinda wished he would have ended up with a man instead.
anyways…of course i’m still going to finish this series.
edit: of course him having a female love interest, doesn’t make him less queer, but tbh the lgbtq+ rep in frost’s books isn’t great, so i was kinda hoping for more. i also don’t dislike veritas but idk i was always secretly hoping that theo (if that is is his name lmao) would be ian’s love interest.
(also: for some reason i always thought she looked very young, like teenager-young, but i might be confusing things since it has been a while since i read “destiny for an early grave”)
