review 1: What a fun twist on the regency romance! Sophie's lameness and the loss of her mother and little sister make her feel like damaged goods going into the London season, but she is drastically underestimating her charms. Having finished "Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell" not long ago, I enjoyed the overlap of the magical elements and the Duke of Wellington's leadership in the war against Napoleon. Particularly recommend for regency romance readers looking for a touch of magic.
review 2: Pros: History and witchcraft. Hello. A crippled female protagonist is always a win in my book. I LOVE THE NAME PEREGRINE YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW.Cons:The author went overboard trying to use the slang of that era. Contradicting Pro #2, I've seen the whole "disabled girl survives 19th cen... moretury European society with the help of magic and a hot suitor" thing plenty of times before.And lastly–the title. It sounds like one of those 5-dollar trashy paperback novels you see in the grocery store next to the magazine rack. A No-No. less
