This started a bit slow and simplistic but picked up rapidly, and had a welcome crispness to it that's missing from a lot of both Regency and faery stories. Very good escapism, entertaining banter, and a nice social justice angle that doesn't strain credulity too much (faery balls and nonconformist heroines evading consequences are one thing, well-intentioned gentry Saving Society is just too much to swallow, and this book didn't ask me to, for which full credit).
