Rezension von CarinaThis is not a Jane Austen and you realize easily, however I really enjoyed it. At first I was a bit wary because there was a lot of stuff and dialogues that would not have happened that way in an Austen, but then it is said that Heyer took modern times into regency and it made it easier to digest. <br/>I absolutely ADORED Frederica. I loved that she cared for her siblings to the point of not caring about herself. I loved how stubborn, independant and reliable she is. I loved how she hated to rely on Alverstoke, but still did it. I loved Alverstoke as well. In the beginning he struck me as a right down ass, but I enjoyed his wit and the way he always said the truth and had no fear of putting people in their place. <br/>I absolutely enjoyed every single dialogue of Frederica and Alverstoke and in fact, would have liked to see much more of them. <br/>I would have found it better if the book would have been more from Fredericas perspective. I kind of felt like Alverstoke was the protagonist more than Frederica. <br/>On the whole this was not as genius as an Austen but really enjoyable! I am looking forward to read more of Georgette Heyer.
