For how different they are I loved both Penelope and Agatha, and the supporting cast of characters were equally enjoyable. Waite does a great job of incorporating historical events and conventions without getting bogged down in them, and while there are certainly anachronisms, they are for the sake of making the characters relatable (and aren't overly egregious in any case), so this historian has no complaints.
