You know I've heard about Mother-in-law issues, but this was pretty bad. And as for family secrets yeah this has pretty out their and major family secrets. A good ending to this trilogy for some reason I felt a bit of saddness getting to the end.

A highly satisfactory ending to the trilogy. Well-done, Michael Thomas Ford!

I'm usually a critic of today's consequence-free vampirism, but this was really a good little book. If the book took itself more seriously I'd have more than a few complaints, but it doesn't, so I won't. It was a good, quick, fun, read. The little mystery bits didn't hurt. I enjoyed it, and I'm happy to leave it there.

In this book, Jane Austen is back and trying to figure out wedding details. However, the wedding takes flight (literally) somewhere else. With many new turns and complications in the mix, Jane Austen also discovers that there may be a way to turn her human. The historical detail (St. Apollonia) was fascinating, but I felt like there were still many things that Ford had skimmed over. There are still many unanswered questions in my mind.
I thoroughly enjoyed the first two books in the series (Jane Bites Back and Jane Goes Batty). So you can guess that I am perhaps measuring this against its predecessors. Unfortunately, the climax that Ford has been building up to the last book was not as well-resolved as I'd have liked it to be. Is it a mystery, a search for the Holy Grail? It feels like Ford had too many ideas in his head and was trying very hard to configure them on paper (a bit like me when I'm writing an essay). I have had to turn many a blind eye to the characterisation of this Jane Austen, because she did not quite fit the Jane Austen I knew.

Eh. This book was kind of...shallow. I liked having resolution for the major issues, but it was an array of coincidences and new plot threads just sort of thrown around.
