Of Noble Family
by Mary Robinette Kowal
Of Noble Family is the fifth and final book in Mary Robinette Kowal's Glamourist History Series, and while I'm sad to see it end, it really goes out on a high note. When news of his father's death reaches Vincent, he and Jane have to travel to Antigua in order to handle some affairs on the family estate. Only when they arrive, they discover things are far more complicated they they expected.
By choosing to place to final book in a slave colony, this Regency series ends up taking a dark turn. Jane and Vincent have seen their fair share of hardships, but the English couple are ill prepared for the horrors of slavery. At the same time, fans of the romance between the two will not be disappointed, as their love provides an appropriate bright counterweight to this otherwise shadowy novel. As one might expect from the title, the topic of family is very important in this novel, and is explored in multiple satisfying ways.
If you've enjoyed the Glamourist History series up until this point, by all means, finish it up here! And make sure you listen to the audio version, as it's really well done. I look forward to seeing what books author Mary Robinette Kowal puts out next.
