Having never read the original Sense and Sensibility, I enjoyed this book, markedly more than I think I would have enjoyed the original text. That being said, it was just... fine. I spent a lot of time wondering how different the plot is to the original besides the obvious. I think the language was consistent throughout, so good on Winters for emulating Austen's style. I also liked the illustrations.
Moderate: Animal death, Body horror, Animal cruelty, and Blood
