The Grand Sophy

it's fun to finally have a regency romance where the female protagonist is rambunctious and wild but also how about that good ol' cousin-lovin'

if you're not familiar with the term, regency era writing refers to authors like jane austen, maria edgeworth, and sir walter scott. however, this is a regency romance, which was written about a century and a half later about life during the regency era, and is thus much easier to read rimshot

it has the same societal issues that jane austen loves to poke fun at, but it inserts a kind of protagonist that i had not yet encountered in a regency novel. while this was really entertaining, the romance and the rest of the plot fell short, which was quite disappointing as i was hoping i'd enjoy it.
