I just cannot get into this story line. There are a lot of characters with unusual names so difficult to keep characters straight. Just not enough to grab a reader!

I mean, the book is fine, but how can you write Pride and Prejudice with dragons and think that women were struggling into corsets to get into their dresses like in Gone with the Wind? Stays! They wore stays! No trussing was required. SMH. This whole concept is kind of a heavy lift for a first novel, IMO.

Audio booking this one. I thought the accents would be difficult to decipher but it’s not bad. I haven’t quite felt immensely “pulled” to the story but it is a bit fun and interesting. It’s sad though that one of the sisters died already, not sure if that’s in the original P&P…the visual telling isn’t bad but it could be more? We’ll see.
