I was browsing in the St. George library and saw this book in a display. I picked it up and read the first few paragraphs and figured it had potential. I'm a huge Jane Austen fan, and hoped it might be in a similar realm. It was not. Not even close! This book was ponderous and boring and stilited. I kept thinking I should give it up because it was going nowhere, but there was a murder to be solved, so I stuck with it to learn the culprit. I got to the most unsatisfying end, and realized I should have quit far sooner. There was no character development and really no explanation as to the magic involved in the mysterious artifacts. It was just a strange boring setting for Elizabeth and Darcy to superficially interact. I should know by now that Austen is in a class by herself!!! Will I ever learn? At least I didn't waste any money on the deal. Only time, which is perhaps even more valuable!
