A rollicking time, even moreso than usual for Heyer. In fact, it’s so rollicking, it got a bit exhausting about halfway through. Grand as Sophie is— and she is grand— all the endless machinations made me just want a nap.

If, however, you want a regency heroine who has so much agency she’s a category 4 hurricane: look no further than Sophy.

Nice banter, but I still can't seem to wrap around the fact that Charles is Sophy's cousin. Hard to try to forget when he addresses her Cousin throughout the whole book. Ending left me completely satisfied. It was abrupt to say the least.
