Jo Baker didn't hesitate to hide away from the darker aspects of the period, and gave the pride and prejudice characters twists which was intriguing.
I felt the first two parts were strongest and the third fell a little by the wayside. The flashback scenes felt a little out of place and I think would've had a stronger impact if Mrs Hill and James had spoken to Sarah about their pasts, thus creating a stronger emotional bond between the characters. It was nice to read the wrap up of the characters at the end and to know how all the characters turn out.

Fun premise but would have been boring without the Austen connection.
Sometimes felt a little on the nose, like the author was trying to fit in as many gritty points as possible.
The pedo stuff was just unnecessary.

For those who know Pride and Prejudice, it will surprise no one to be told that Mr Wickham is still a villain.
