Without a Summer by Mary Robinette Kowal
4.0
I didn't enjoy this quite as much as the earlier two books in the trilogy, but I can't actually put a finger on why. There's nothing innately bad about the book at all - Jane and Vincent continue to be interesting characters, and I still love the world. Maybe it's more that the book focuses on the politics of the world rather than the domestic side of things?
I love, love, love Melody in this. She was always one of the most vivid secondary characters for me - I love her voice (her little La! is glorious) and it's wonderful to see her getting more depth.
The whole three books are more than worth the read, and I would recommend them to anyone. Even if you hate Jane Austen ;) The magic of glamour is original, and Jane and Vincent are just wonderful characters. Kowal is to be praised for the whole series.
