The Grand Sophy
by Georgette Heyer
Loveable characters:
Yes
I have to admit that I was very hesitant to pick this book up and If it isn't for the club read, I wouldn't have picked it but boy, am I surprised. I enjoyed it very much. I was expecting some new girl struggling at her aunt's home and finding love kind of story but What I got was some regency baddie scheming through her London family.
SPOILERS AHEAD
I have to talk about main character Sophy. First of all is there anything she is not capable of doing, lol. I loved her thorough and thorough. She was charming, funny and is very good at what she is doing. She has most page time than any characters and she is the one who carries us readers through the novel so the novel could have gone downhill even if she were little bit of annoying or boring but that isn't the case. She kept the whole story engaging. She is marvelous and good yet despite this I can't help but feel would it have been little better If she has some flaws in her character, so I don't know.
For the romance part, now this odd because I don't see any romance at all from where I expected. I assume it will be unpopular opinion but the only romance I felt came from Miss Wraxton and Lord Bromford, like these two are the only characters whom I feel shared a vibe and gone well with each other and out of all their combined unbearableness was actually wholesome. I didn't feel a thing between Sophy and Charles and I wasn't meant to feel anything from Cecilia and Charlbury so that's it for romance.
The ending, now that was rushed and unsatisfied. It felt like I was enjoying some tasty meal and someone picked my bowl and went out before I could finish it. Despite all this a very entertaining read indeed.
