![]() At times both male characters felt like women, as if taken entirely out of context. And no, I'm not talking about anything like the much touted "chicks with dicks" either. I was repeatedly scratching my head, or giggling and stating "just like a girl!". Be it that 14 is too old for a boy to not even have started masturbating, be it that some of the prickishness came over as distinctly girly rather than femme gay, be it that some affectations made me think of a Miss Marple instead of a set of young Cambridge fellows, the end result is that I couldn't believe in the facts as laid out.Īnd this made me feel distanced. Well, truth be told, I did not really believe in the sexual peculiarities of these characters. So why not a wholehearted 5*? So many people absolutely loved this historical and I was prepared to do so as well. I will be able to compare, because I bought the first three books of the series. I liked the characters, I adore the era as a backdrop, I like the college theme and the gentle mystery/murder plot. ![]()
