Despite the fact that it is largely about gaining a husband, the young ladies are strong-willed and look for ways to improve their lot within the confines of society, or sometimes a little outside of it. ( ) This fantasy of manners novella is a fun series starter. It’s all very silly and fluffy. But, thankfully, it lacks the obtrusive plot-mandated stupid character behaviour that cosy stories so often have (ymmv, of course, and it’s a matter of taste what kind of character blind spots a reader will tolerate). The author effectively combines a Regency-type setting with “modern/enlightened” elements without jarring anachronisms. One aspect I particularly liked was how so many different characters contributed towards the end, rather than just the two main ones (sorry, being vague here to avoid spoilers). I dare say other reviews will have compared this book to Sorcery and Cecelia. It’s a fair comparison in terms of tone. Since Tea and Sympathetic Magis is a novella, it’s not nearly as complex: so possibly a better introduction to the genre? keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
