Without a Summer by Mary Robinette Kowal

3.0

As always, this was a thoroughly enjoyable light read - good for commuting, except I got so engrossed I almost missed my stop! While I do wish Melody's character development was differently, it does fit into the Austen mode where we see things through Jane's narration. The Coldmongers section reminded me of the [b:Spiritwalker series|7114825|Cold Magic (The Spiritwalker Trilogy #1)|Kate Elliott|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1323994929s/7114825.jpg|7374960] by [a:Kate Elliott|8660|Kate Elliott|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1234969697p2/8660.jpg], which I also enjoyed. I look forward to the 4th book in the series.
