Hi! Does this book have any LGBT+ characters?
Lena Bretzing Yes, though they are only side characters. The author does mention it in her authors note.

"Anti-historical" is not a promising descriptor. "Diversity" is not anti-historical, it's real. So what is anti-historical about the story? Is it basically modern characters slapped into a world the author learned about from Bridgerton and nothing else, or what?

As it states in the author's note, anti-historical really just means that it is going against the typical historical narrative, not necessarily against history itself. Because history is written by the victors, aka straight white men in this case, many diverse figures (ie. racial and sexual minorities) were written out of the narrative. In the book, however, they are very much written back in. I hope this helps, and in the future I would recommend actually reading a book before making judgements! :) (less)
