I am so glad I finally picked up this series. KJC writes class difference so well, and the nuance in power imbalances here are perfectly executed. Julius is a wealthy aristocrat and a Tory and Harry a down-on-his-luck seditionist who just desperately wants to not be hungry and scared anymore, and somehow, they work beautifully. Where Julius could have been the more experienced of the two in all ways, his grief, loneliness and discomfort with affection give him more equal footing with Harry, who despite his history of abandonment and fear, has a soft, hopeful heart and a willingness to be vulnerable and generous in his love and loyalty. The introduction of our primary cast is delightfully complicated (I love mess!) and I cannot wait to see Dominic and Richard absolutely leveled. A perfect series start.
