Title: Zounds! One is all it's worth
Review: A light, light, light book. The best that can be said is that it's a good book for when you're totally brain-dead; it gives you something to look at that doesn't take much intelligence. Slightly escapist.Other than that, it's a mess. The characters are basically modern people set back in the 1800's, with token allusions to the era. The way they spoke and behaved, aside from overused exclamations such as "Zounds," was much more 2004 than 1804. Others have spoken of sloppy history; I don't know enough to critique that, but it wouldn't surprise me. I grew increasingly irritated by the anachronisms.In short, I have a sneaky suspicion the author has good connections. To get not only this book published, but an entire series?? Zounds!
