The author did follow a lot of the trademark Jane Austen style of writing, which i appreciated.
But tying a story about servants to Pride & Prejudice didn't do it for me. The main characters of this story were only vaguely connected to the plot of P&P and I think it would have actually improved the story to have it be completely separate from the drama of the Bennet family. When I was reading, i felt more compelled by the servants' personal lives and adding the somewhat flimsy connection to the original story, it detracted from their experiences.
