I adored this book. Secret magical society in 19th century England + gay? Sign me up. The characters are funny, complex, flawed, and incredibly lovable. I thought the darker parts of the book (see content warnings) were handled incredibly well. I’m excited to see how the sequel goes- I can’t wait!
Graphic: Emotional abuse, Child abuse, and Physical abuse
Moderate: Death of parent, Death, Injury/Injury detail, Outing, and Colonisation
