About this listen
The fantasy novel you’ve always wished Jane Austen had written, Shades of Milk and Honey is exactly what we could expect from Austen if she had been a fantasy writer: Pride and Prejudice meets Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. It is an intimate portrait of a woman, Jane, and her quest for love in a world where the manipulation of glamour is considered an essential skill for a lady of quality.
Jane and her sister Melody vie for the attentions of eligible men, and while Jane’s skill with glamour is remarkable, it is her sister who is fair of face.
When Jane realizes that one of Melody’s suitors is set on taking advantage of her sister for the sake of her dowry, she pushes her skills to the limit of what her body can withstand in order to set things right—and, in the process, accidentally wanders into a love story of her own.

I do not normally read these sort of books, but wanted something more light hearted than fantasy books I've been reading.. after first chapter I was hooked and really enjoy it. I love idea of magic system used in this sort of setting. I loved all the characters which all very different and the performance was great with all different voice very entertaining. :)

It's Jane Austen with Magic
Being familiar as I am with some of Kowal's more recent works, I was a little disappointed at this obviously less refined work. It's very good, I was just expecting more. And while her own anarration skills are quite good, the English accents weren't quite native to one more familiar with their intricacies of tone. In fact, as I think about it, it's likely the not-quite-native accent highlighted any clumsiness at tone from this being as I understand it, her first published novel. If it were instead narrated by a native Englishwoman, I imagine it would be more directly comparable to Austen. Very good if you don't have high expectations.

Good mix of Austen and paranormal.
I enjoyed it as it mixes Jane Austen satire with paranormal themes. The narrator was a bit monotone but if you keep listening the story is fine.
