Pamela Aidan has done a worthy job of taking the world Austen created in Pride and Prejudice and expanding on it, adding depth, conflict, and character development. Indeed I didn't think it was possible for me to so thoroughly enjoy novels that dared to explore and interpret Austen's classic and dearly loved battle of the sexes. Aidan's trilogy is "fan fiction" of the highest order, a story Austen and Regency fans can savor. She succeeds in refreshing Austen's classic, infusing the familiar with new life and perspective that is both a faithful tribute and an inventive character study. Highly recommended.

Loved, loved, loved it! I now want to rewatch the best Pride and Prejudice and, more importantly, I want to reread Pride and Prejudice. Until now, I haven't yet found a sequel or rewrite of Pride and Prejudice that was worth my time. This trilogy is fantastic. 

Aidan writes her own story, she doesn't endeavor to become Jane Austen. I think that is what makes this retelling so refreshing. She is not trying to rewrite the beauty that is Pride and Prejudice like so many before her have unsuccessfully attempted to do. She has taken something and simply added a new dimension and perspective that is compelling as well as entertaining.
