Title: Shades of Milk and Honey
Author: Mary Robinette Kowal
Series: Glamourist Histories, #1
Format: Hardcover
Rating: ★★☆☆☆
I think I'm less angry at this book than disappointed. I went in expecting Jane Austen + magic and ended up really getting neither. While it is a Regency novel, and Kowal works towards Austen's style, much of the charm and all of the wit is missing. And the magic serves no real purpose in the world or the novel. It doesn't feel shoved in, but it does leave me a bit perplexed.
