A review by garbutch
The Scottish Boy, by Alex de Campi, Trungles

I'm really disappointed to not see a single reviewer mentioning that this includes a lot of smut where two of them are teenagers, one 17 and one 19 at the beginning of the story. There's also a somno scene where they didn't talk about it beforehand. So there's dubcon with youngins and I think people should be made aware of it going in. I don't really feel comfortable rating it right now with this in mind. I understand that it's Of An Era and they were of the age of expected marriages and all that. It still feels weird to read this as someone in the modern day reading a work made in the modern day.

The story itself was interesting to me but I think a lot of it is just... Well, very lovelorn depressed teenagers who keep getting separated for whatever reason. There's some political intrigue and I like the arrangement they came to with chosen family in the end.
