YIKES! Thanks for all your updates. They are entertaining and informative, as usual. I confess that I skipped this one because of the hints of a "relationship" between Mary and Georgiana, based on other reviews.
Yes, I am less pertubed about Mary + Georgiana insinuating a lesbian relationship, than I am with bloody descriptions of needless deaths, including beloved characters and serious animal torture.
On top of that, as per usual, some things make no sense, there is no logic, no consistency, like how standard propriety is upheld one minute, and completely ditched the next (Lizzie traveling alone from Longbourn to Pemberly, on a whim, in a hired coach from Kent —what?!???-).
The original idea has some merit and there were a few keypoints that were interesting or compelling. But in the end, to me, the story became tainted from violence, venom and blood!
Like you, I abhor the lack of sense, logic, and consistency that is often found in the genre. The idea of Lizzie traveling alone from Longbourn to Pemberley is something I've seen in a number of stories, but it never makes sense.
One thing is to weave a story about dragons… a whole different matter to attempt to present a solo journey of several days without a chaperone !!!! Hahahahaha
