Shades of Milk and Honey by Mary Robinette Kowal

5.0

Better than Austen

I just finished re-reading this in preparation for reading the sequel, and I couldn’t love it more. It captures an Austen-esque drama of manners and propriety perfectly, while also providing *reasons* for why both the silly women are constantly fainting (or affecting to do so) and why the practical, no-nonsense protagonist occasionally faints as well.
Fabulous read with some lovely plot twists!
