It was nice to read a fantasy novel where the heroine or hero doesn’t save the world! I welcomed the simple plot and familiar landscape of the Regency era. What follows is a charming romance that Jane Austen herself would be proud of….with the added delicate hints of magic, you have a delightful, intoxicating read. Content to easily fall into the role of chaperon, Jane lands in the middle of her own courtship. Nothing to rival her sisters talents.ĭetermined to prove her superior assets as a bride, Melody sets out to secure a husband. Melody is jealous of her older sister, not because of her beauty, but because Jane’s glamours are elegant and entrancing….Melody is limited in her knowledge of glamour.
Well accomplished in the art of glamour, Jane captures the imagination of all that she meets….wow people with her skills, but it is Melody the eligible bachelors are fixated on. While Melody is beautiful and charming, Jane is plain and lacks the feminine charms to secure a husband.Īlmost a confirmed spinster, Jane possesses other talents that might make her appealing to the right man….she is a glamourist. In the Regency era, Dorchester countryside, Jane and Melody Ellsworth are as opposite as any two sisters can be. Woven intricately out of the ether, Mary Robinette Kowal creates and exhilarating new world of enchantment that will please Jane Austen fans and illusionist fiction fans alike.
