We sat down with Gabe Cole Novoa to talk about his latest YA dystopian fantasy, THESE VENGEFUL GODS — a fierce story of survival, rebellion, and found family set in a brutal world of gods and gladiator-style competition. ⚔️✨ In our interview, Gabe shares how video games, fantasy novels, and classics of the dystopian genre inspired the world of Escal, how his own experience with chronic illness shaped the protagonist Crow, and why writing found family into dangerous worlds matters so deeply. He also touch on the political power of YA, and the importance of authentic, joyful representation for marginalized teens.
