Rating: Summary: As Amazing & Enjoyable as The Scarlet Pimpernel! Review: This was one of the most amazing books i have read in a long time! My two fav stories in the world are George Lucas's "Star Wars" and "The Scarlet Pimpernel." I'm a real science fiction/fantasy person. So naturally i was overjoyed when i saw this book. i wasnt disappointed at all! There were many diferent characters with intruiging personalties, mystery, romance(i would have been happier with a bit more romance, but under the story's circumstances it wasnt possible), magic, suspense...everything you could ever want was right here in one amazing book! Also, an 'alternative history'is an amazing idea. i just loved it! i highly recommmend this book to everyone - it's a true masterpiece!
Rating: Summary: Ambiguous Review: ~I've never been a fan of alternate histories, but this one kept me interested long enough to finish--and I'm considering buying the sequel. The premise is somewhat unusual, in that most alternate histories of this type don't involve bringing characters between universes, at least not without their consent. I'm not a close enough student of Regency-era history to know how good a job the authors did at extrapolating the effect of the change in succession, but the world they created is at~~ least internally plausible, which counts for quite a lot.~
