Stepped into the story quickly but loved the chemistry between the two main characters!

Lots of world building that was redeemed with its the importance for the story by the end!

“Nothing was wrong with Tress. Her mind was functioning properly. She hadn‘t lost her creativity. She hadn‘t run out of ideas. She was simply tired.”

Second favorite quote:
“Tell me… what is your opinion of tiny pirate hats?”

Moved a little slow as I first started getting into the story. Really enjoyed the perspective from Austen‘s sister in both imagined timelines. I‘m looking forward to the new PBS adaptation.

Was not expecting to get sucked into so much mystery—love the Northanger Abbey feel to this sequel!
