The discussions of sexuality within the novel would actually be helpful for young adults who’ll read this, especially if they’re still figuring out their sexuality or even just learning how to be good allies. This was written with great care and understanding.
I have little knowledge about the milieu, but it didn’t matter since the novel was able to give me most of the context that I needed to understand the historical background of the time.
While Gwen and Gabriel definitely helped Arthur realize that he isn’t a good-for-nothing piece of shit that his father wants him to believe that he is, I noticed that Arthur, Bridget, Sidney, and Agnes impacted the royal siblings a lot more. It’s likely due to the fact that the two of them were sheltered from the world and only knew of their duties and were expected to act in a certain aristocratic way. So it’s good for them too, to learn how to be with people of different social classes and not to treat people in lower rankings like shit, especially since they’re going to be ruling a whole country. It sends a good message to young readers.
