Why this must be read:
Elizabeth and Ciel have one of the most complex relationships in all of Kuro's multiple canons: two intelligent, strong-willed people who love each other, are bound to each other by blood as well as by an engagement neither shows any desire to repudiate, and who have secrets from each other that they will go to considerable lengths to keep. It's a difficult relationship to write convincingly, in ways that convey both the tension and the love between the two, the things that will forever remain unsaid despite what they come to know of each other, and the ways in which it does and doesn't matter.
The high charm of life does a gorgeous job of keeping that balance, as it gives us a picture of one possible future for the two of them. It's a love story, or maybe a horror story, or maybe (probably) both at once; and it's a beautiful piece of work no matter which way you read it.
