This book was mostly enjoyable, but there were some parts that were a slog to get through. Throughout the book there are chapters from other character's perspectives besides just Elizabeth and Darcy, and most of them are not as interesting as our main couple. Especially in the beginning, the characters that are getting these POVs have no obvious connection to the Darcy's, making them seem out of place. Eventually they make sense, but I would have liked to have met some of these characters before getting a POV. 

My main issue with this book, though, is the last part.
In part three, we are given a war novel to read, which I was not expecting and didn't enjoy. I read this book for interactions between Lizzy and Darcy, not for them to be completely separated for 100 pages.
 
If the ending of the book had been as enjoyable as the rest of it this would have gotten a higher rating from me.
