Initially, I was far from impressed with Mary Robinette Kowal’s Shades of Milk and Honey. It was too obvious that the author was trying to resurrect the spirit of Jane Austen with a little fantasy thrown in. It seemed she was trying too hard and the resulting story felt alien to me.

The characters were just awful; I didn't mind, but also didn't connect at all, ...
I've no idea why I didn't note anything. As I recall I quite liked the book and wanted to read more because Regency romance with magic? Fun. Personal copy
