This was an interesting read. It reads just like a Austen book would. The people talk, behave as they do in those books (unrealistic, but consistent). The world she has hinted at is very interesting, but you don't get much of the world in this book. It is just hinted at and at the periphery. I would have liked to have seem more of the world and less of the Austen, but that is not the goal of this book. For what it sets out to attain, it does very well, but some added complexity would have bee nice. Stepping out of the Austen-esque world for a few steps to grow beyond being a pastiche of Austen books would have helped it. I am curious to see where the others go as I do know each book is a different type of book.
