Drop your Qs about my MSWL, RevPit, me, ADHD, my cats… Surprise me!

Wanted to ask what are some key components of YA fantasy that stand out to you/make you excited?
1. You said no toxic relationships, but are healthy relationships between morally-grey characters okay?
2. What is a recent fantasy you were unable to put down?
Thank you!
Would you be interesting in an adult romantic fantasy about a girl with uncontrollable powers and the God trapped in her mind that gives them to her? It follows them on a journey to break the curse that binds them together. Thank you!
Wait, the romance is between the girl and the god? Intriguing. I see so much potential for fun conflict.
