this book does contain heavy implications regarding a character undergoing conversion therapy, so do keep that in mind.

I’m not usually much a reader of historical fiction, but this one really clicked for me. The world building was so interesting and the characters were all distinct and their motivations and personalities were clear. You really root for them to succeed and worry for them when they get into trouble.
