Miranda Davis’s Reviews > Untamed > Status Update

Oh, now it's gone into ridiculous territory. Bummer. Too damn much cross dressing for my taste and it jettisons any pretension to plausibility. I'll finish but I'm not liking this nearly as much after this stupendous flub. Also the costume inconsistencies grate. (Skirt hoops are Georgian period, but menswear described such as high starched collars, cravats and trousers are Regency, what is the period, please?)

I'll be skuppered but this is very, very well written, the characters are complex and frankly unappealing in their own ways, a lot like my reaction to Cecilia Grant's characters. They seem absolutely plausible in their attitudes, even the odd cross-dressing duke is appropriately arch, critical and cruel in his sense of entitlement. But I cannot put it down, crawling skin be damned. Kudos to Ms. Cowan.

Oh, he was abused.
