![]() ![]() ![]() I'm trying to imagine 200 years from now someone writing a YA historical about a massive Leigh Bardugo fan using her books to guide their life lol. This premise has been done before, but always in a modern context-it was fun to read it in a historical, where essentially Jane Austen is a contemporary of the main characters. Reluctant but determined, Vicky uses lessons from Austen's beloved heroines and the rogues and love interests of note to guide her through things. When disgrace befalls her family, she must participate in the Season to find a wealthy husband to save her family's estate. ![]() It's set in 1817, so Jane Austen herself has published all but her last two novels (Northanger Abbey and Persuasion), and the main character, Victoria "Vicky" Aston is a massive fan. This book is if every Jane Austen novel plus Vanity Fair had a baby. Dangerous Alliance scratched an itch I didn't know I had for a Jane Austen-esque YA historical romance. ![]()
