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
