The Nobleman's Daughter by Jen Geigle Johnson
5.0
4.5 Stars.
I really enjoyed this novel. It was intriguing to me that it is a regency novel which focuses more on societal change rather than the events the nobility would hold. I enjoy regency novels, and many of those I’ve read are about heroines who want to change their lives and those around them for the better. But this is the first one I’ve read where the heroine designs political fliers in an effort to cause change in her society.
I loved the Scarlet Pimpernel influences contained in the story. The theme of freedom is prevalent in this book, and I enjoyed learning more about the different ways freedom plays out for both the nobility and the poor.
There were a few times where I felt the conversation of the characters was rather stilted, and I was a little confused during the climactic scene as to where a certain sword came from. These reasons are why I dropped a half point in my rating, but, that being said, I do highly recommend the book! I really enjoyed it, and will look forward to reading more books by this author!
