A review by mrswythe89
The Masqueraders by Georgette Heyer
3.0
Not likely to go down as a favourite Heyer, if only because my passion is for the Regency period and this isn't set in it, but quite charming all the same. I like how genderbendy it is, though Heyer's predilection for epithets ("the large gentleman", "the mountain") was starting to get on my nerves a little.
This is an ootoro book not because the genderqueerness is annoying to the point that I feel it needs the calming influence of Fujioka Haruhi (which is my usual criterion for determining whether a book is an ootoro book), but because I think Haruhi and Prudence would get along famously. And Robin is like a short blonde Hitachiin twin, so they would get along too!
