  “I enjoyed this novel, though it seemed to take awhile to get started. The first half was definitely an homage to Jane Austen, with characters strongly reminiscent of Elizabeth Bennet, Lady Catherine deBurgh, and Mr. Collins. The second half was more gothic, like Charlotte Bronte or Charles Dickens. I liked it enough that I will probably buy the next installment when it comes out. There were a few places that made me mildly uncomfortable, but nothing in detail. The idea of a regency-type setting mixed with magic and politics was intriguing, and I enjoyed the mix.”

  “Austen & Bronte meet Clarkson on a planet somewhere other than our own (going solely by the variable length of the days). Not bad.”
