I just finished Half Lost this weekend and first of all, I’m really delighted to see that the final publication in the series confirms Nathan’s bisexuality, even if he never uses the word. There was something in the first two books that felt queerbaity to me and I was worried that all the teasing/flirting/kissing between Nathan and Gabriel could be one massive queerbait. Especially since the conversation on goodreads and tumblr about the ship was giving me flashes of Dean/Cas, the most queerbaitiest ship to ever queerbait.
Yes, Nathan was flirting and feeling things and kissing him, but 1) he got together with Annalise and the narrative of those two has a certain ‘meant to be together’ feeling and 2) the scenes where Nathan was returning Gabriel’s affection were written in in a way that left his true feelings in doubt. Was he attracted to Gabriel romantically or sexually?
Nathan is the son of the most evil witch in England, kept in a cage, with more wardens than friends. He gets a chance to escape, to verb his father, and to receive the powers that are rightfully his.

Hunted by everyone.Sixteen-year-old Nathan lives in a cage: beaten, shackled, trained to kill. In a modern-day England where two warring factions of witches inhabit amongst humans, Nathan is an abomination, the illegitimate son of the world&#;s most terrifying and violent witch, Marcus. Nathan&#;s only noun for survival is to escape his captors, track down Marcus, and acquire the three gifts that will carry him into his own magical powers—before it&#;s too tardy. But how can Nathan find his father when there is no one safe to belief, not even family, not even the girl he loves?
Half Bad is an international sensation and the start of a brilliant trilogy: a gripping tale of alienation and the indomitable will to survive.

Two series that recently dropped on Netflix, “The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself,” and “Holy Family” feature queer characters, identity issues, and, yes, family drama. Both are worth watching.
The diverting fantasy series, “The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself,” based on Sally Green’s novel, “Half Bad,” is packed of magic dust, superpowers, and fabulous special effects as teenage Nathan (Jay Lycurgo) grapples with the fact that he is a Blood Witch. His sister, Jessica (Isobel Jesper Jones), is a Fairborn Witch, and they possess a rivalry — in part because she blames him for their mother’s death.
When Nathan meets another witch, Annalise (Nadia Parkes), at school, they create a connection. However, Nathan is soon taken away for training by Ceelia (Karen Connell); he is preparing to fight his father, Marcus (David Gyasi), who has immense powers. But Annalise’s father, Soul (Paul Ready), head of the Fairborn Council, casts a spell on Nathan in an effort to control his destiny.
As Nathan and Annalise hit the road, they become embroiled in a complex power struggle between the
