Everyone stop what you're doing and go read KJ Charles. She is a master class in queer historical fiction and writing diversity authentically.
#kj charles#society of gentlemen#julius norreys is a goddamn delight#he could be the protagonist of an entire series#lord gabriel ashleigh you sweet good-hearted dumb golden retriever of a man i would die for you#i haven't read 'a gentleman's position' yet and maybe it'll change my mind#but for now I want to shove my foot up richard vane's ass and punt him into the sun#tiresome hypocrite#sorry alexis hall you've been entirely eclipsed#well no. alexis hall does romance as well as kj charles does regency politics#hall is great as long as he doesn't try to do historical fiction#a lady for a duke was so painful#kj charles did better regency trans rep with a side character than hall did with a protagonist#REAL QUEER LIT IS RADICAL LEFTIST AND POLITICAL#alexis usually keeps the politics on an interpersonal level at least#and knows to discards them entirely when he's writing escapism so that you DON'T end up with a casey mcquiston white liberal mess#but kj charles is the first time ive encountered political regency romance which makes so much sense because#inclusion and representation is inherently political#anyway im gonna reread this just to revisit some golden lines#''they weren’t going to succeed because there was maybe five of them could catch clap in a brothel without instructions.'' 😂😂😂#knee of huss#queer fiction#historical fiction#regency romance#lgbtqia
