3.5
This is possibly my first foray into the fantasy of manners genre and while I enjoyed it, I am also hoping to find some books that rate a bit higher still. I generally rooted for the main character and really like seeing her embrace the more masculine lifestyle foisted upon her by her uncle, while still maintaining friendships with other characters. The middle bit dragged slightly, and I didn’t like that pretty much all the gay men are depicted as depraved or mad in some way. Overall 3.5 stars.
