Title: Such a Disappointment
Review: What a letdown. After the sheer rightness of her portrayal of Mr. Darcy in the first book, I couldn't believe how completely Pamela Aidan switched gears on us. I accept that she's not Jane Austen and that it must be very hard to come up with plausible ways to fill in the unknowns. But she wrote the first book with such believable, Austen-like spirit, if not her actual writing style, that I don't know where this dull, preachy sequel came from. Was she in a hurry? Was her publisher pushing her too hard? To start the series in one style and to continue in such a completely different vein...well, let's just say that $14 for a paperback is hard enough to pay without feeling like you've been defrauded after reading it.
