Romance/LGBTQIA/History
The first is a PG13 story, and utterly adorable. If you have read A Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue, you will definitely enjoy this. It doesn't go any further than that book did, so it should be comfortable for most readers, so long as you are okay with two boys in love. And yes, that Christan Coulson is the one who played young Tom Riddle in Chamber of Secrets, for those to whom that is interesting. Percy and Monty are adorable.
The second is the full sequel, and focuses on Felicity and her trying to live in a world that finds little use for women. She's very stubborn, though, and ends up in one issue after another trying to find the place she wants. Percy and Monty are in this, but not through the entire story, so it is very much Felicity's story. She also goes through the learning of her own feelings when it comes to romance, in a way you just don't see in most stories.
Definitely both recommended, particularly if you enjoyed the first book. And there will be one more, at least, about their baby brother. I'm looking forward to that, though it won't be out until November. I might make that one of my rewards for NaNoWriMo this year. Especially if he's even slightly as fun as his siblings.
