Not my favourite of Cat Sebastian's but still a good time! I love that it featured a non-binary main character

Provides an interesting portrayal of gender nonconformity (or perhaps a trans/nonbinary experience) in a way that feels very much in the period. While it's unclear what gender Robin would identify as today, seeing as there was no language to understand or express a difference between assigned sex and gender, this lack of clarity or concrete explanation if anything makes it feel more genuine.

I usually pull out Cat Sebastian for something light and fun during exams or some other stressful time. And this was fun! But this one fell short, the class politics were a bit weird, I think the author thought they were better than they were. The main conflict between the protags is never resolved, they just get over it

Also I thought this would be t4t bc I didn't know Marquess was a masculine title 🙈 not the books fault for letting me down when really I'm just a dumbass
