A fun read (in a good way)! It’s set in the 1700s but doesn’t always read that way. The main character has a decent character arch but is pretty conceited in the beginning, which is understandable because he’s like 18 and has an abusive father. Love the queer narrative, adventure, and sibling banter. Lack of communication trope is a little frustrating at times but it sets up some angsty moments and a sweet resolution.
