Degrees of Affection
Degrees of Affection rated it 11 years ago
Please check out my reviews of the previous two books of the trilogy or most of this won't make much sense: An Assembly Such As This and Duty and Desire. And so the trilogy ends. I'd almost say not with a bang but with a whimper...but that is disingenuous to this book. It is a good book and ends t...

I'm not going to go in depth on Aidan's writing, the purpose, etc. as these were covered in my review of the first book in the series, An Assembly Such As This. Duty and Desire is far more ambitious; it details Darcy's life from Christmas until right before he travels to Rosings. This is lost time...

I will confess to an absolute weakness for P & P and Holmes pastiches. I love them (well, most of them...some of them...you have to take them one at a time), read every one I can get my hands on, and can even boost that my husband owns and has read two Mary Bennett focused ones. (I have yet to swipe...

I enjoyed this one the best of the trilogy, but then again it covered the best part of Pride and Prejudice. I really liked how Aidan thought through the characters such as why Fitzwilliam was in the army. I liked the tone of the book and felt it did justice to the original.I still don't understand w...

When I first started reading this, I thought, "Oh dread. Jane Austen fanfic." But then I tried a story or two (and then three or four) and found that this was rather well-done Austen fanfiction. My biggest criticism is that there weren't enough stories related to Sense and Sensibility. That said, I ...

I loved this one! By far my favorite of the "series"/three volume novel. There was this part of me that couldn't stop from being in fangirl overdrive. It was almost, but not exactly, like watching P&P (1995) for the first time. You're overwhelmed by how good it is and you know what's coming so you'r...

I have loved Pride and Prejudice for years, one of my top "re-reads." This book is a re-imagining of the story from Darcy's point of view. And after reading it, I have come to the realisation that he was never my favourite character in the story.And it's not just because of the pride thing - though...

Hmm. Well.That was...interesting.This covers the part of P&P in which Darcy is not seen at all. So it makes sense that Elizabeth would not be seen but that doesn't entirely account for the rather weird book that this is. The author got to take some a lot of liberties with this one. I'm sure she had ...

3.5 stars.Well, I saw "Darcy's POV" and I knew I had to check it out.It was good. Well written. Stays true to [b:Pride and Prejudice|1885|Pride and Prejudice|Jane Austen|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1320399351s/1885.jpg|3060926]. I adored more on the friendship with Charles. I was smiling every time...

I have two ratings for this book. If I just considered the book by itself without having it associated with anything else I liked it. I like the story, the conflict and the resolution. The second rating is one star. I had a hard time with the characters we were supposed to already know. Darcy and Ge...
