Helpful Score: 2

While the characters in "The Magicians and Mrs. Quent" are clearly beloved Austen and Bronte characters with new names, this book is still an enjoyable read. Following several main characters - primarily a gentle heroine who wins the admiration even from her most severe critics - into mysterious situations, from London-like "Invarel" to the gothic and brooding moors of an British-like empire. This book pieces together a story whose entire picture is not clear til the end. The pacing for most of the book is good, though the point-of-view changes between the main characters is a bit jarring at first. Otherwise, a pleasant summer read if you are not too much of a purist.
