You know you've got a wonderful series underway when the votes split over which book is better!

Now that I have the first two tales of the saga under my belt and must wait patiently for the next installment, I'll amuse myself by declaring the first in the series the better book so far and seeing if the fur flies.

If for no other reason, I was simply delighted by the Austen-esque feel of the first book and just adored Vanessa. Anticipating more of the same, it was a bit of a shock to watch the first of this tale unfold! It was very, very difficult to like Jasper after the horrible episode at Vauxhall Gardens. Even after all the issues were resolved in the end, I still feel he was rather weak in character.

BUT, even after that declaration, let me clarify that this nit-picking in no way detracts from the pure readability of the book. It's been a wonderful journey so far and I'm feeling inclined to camp out at the New Release book kiosk waiting for Margaret's story.

Hurry, hurry! I'm ready for more ...
