FROM THE BOOK FAERY REVIEWS…Amanda Grange’s twist on Jane Austen’s sequel to “Pride and Prejudice” was one of my first to read. I do have to admit the beginning was a little slow for me and it took nearly half way through the book to start getting into the story to see it unravel. But I now understand the need to create the life that once was for the many people in her story. Most of the story told of the historical past and it wasn’t until towards the end that we officially learn of Mr. Darcy’s past and current fate of what made him who he really was and the reason for his distance. I enjoyed the old Count in his castle and from the beginning I disliked Lady Catherine as Elizabeth did until I understood why she acted the way she did. Throughout the story I felt as if I was Elizabeth traveling to all the new places to meet all the different people who were long time friends and acquaintances of Darcy. But of course knowing me I think I would have been more persistent in seeking the truth instead of remaining so confused for so long. I felt sorry for Elizabeth for spending so much time in confusion during her “mysterious” wedding tour who wondered constantly if her husband truly loved her. There were times I wanted to shake her and tell her to “WAKE UP”. But in the end you see the strong and unconditional love they had for each other.
I liked it but in the end I wanted more for what was to come for the Darcy’s. I felt like I was at a frozen point like in Freeze Tag and needed the relief of going on.
If you’re a lover of classic historical stories, love, and a bit of the paranormal, this book may be for you as Grange ties them together in an interesting manner.
