A review by suzreadsalot
Unmasked by the Marquess by Cat Sebastian
3.5
not my fave Cat Sebastian book.
i saw lots of rec's for this book having a Non-Binary MC and was so excited about that but was a little disappointed at the execution. the characters just felt very surface level and there's not really a conversation or internal monologue that delves into Robin's thoughts or feelings when it comes to her gender and as most of her gender expression comes form the way she dresses it just felt as though it could have been handled with a bit more care when it comes to the representation.
i have read reviews since finishing the book and there is apparently an authors note that gives some answers about Robin's gender identity. as i read the audiobook, this was not provided and doesn't really feel sufficient to me. i shouldn't have to read notes to understand the characters IMO
