Corruption: A Young Adult Bisexual Fantasy Kindle Edition

by Alexander Verbeek-van den Toren (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
3.5 out of 5 stars (2)
Trapped on an island, surrounded by lava...with a secret.

When their ability to connect to the magical Flow disappears, Revan and the other students at his college’s island are stranded, surrounded by fiery seas separating habitable regions. Revan can’t retreat to his home island, only in contact with people who don’t know his true identity.

While most people only have one of the five crystals in their torso lit up—determining their role in society—Revan is among the few with more than one lit-up crystal. If anyone finds out, he’ll be considered Othercrystalled, and cast from society.

Torn between his feelings for his male best friend and a female classmate, with his secret close to being revealed, Revan discovers evidence the magic might not have been cut off naturally. Someone might be using the chaos to hunt Othercrystalled. Someone full of Corruption.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great queer rep!

    A great story of learning to be who you are and standing up for yourself. The worldbuilding is a key part and leads to a lot of questions about how and why this society came to be. Great bisexual rep in this one!

    2.0 out of 5 stars Story is lost in the author's own interests
    Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2026
    Format: Kindle
    The basic premise is interesting: students at the magic college find magic no longer works. From there, much of the story seems focused on anything but magic until late in the book.
    These is significant filler here, and it’s unclear how much of it relates to the plot. The author exhaustively talked about Kodens – teenage sexual partners – and the entire flow is distracted by who is sleeping with who (and the reaction when there is tension is to just go pleasure each other). And while the story does not get graphic, the need for these relationships seems to overwhelm the story.
    Also, the geography and provisioning of this new world do not make sense. The future world is dominated by islands with massive skyscrapers where people work, learn, and live. The failed magic means they cannot teleport from island to island, and now the students are ebbing towards starvation? There would seem to be some immediacy to this, but little urgency. And others live in the same skyscraper (including family of some of the students) but no one can get in supplies?
    The worldbuilding gives a glimpse of what could be an interesting time and place, but there are too many needless distractions and unaddressed points to suggest recommending you read this.
