I jumped at the chance to read this because a F/F regency romance? sign me up.
Unfortunately, this was not at all what I was expecting. I’ve had to force myself to read it and have made it to 25% over several days and just can’t anymore. The pace is glacial. For every sentence that actually moves the plot or characterization or anything along, there are five that are just filler of excruciatingly slow movements (putting on gloves, pushing food around a plate, etc.) The characters are completely flat and I’m not interested in reading more about any of them. The plot is so far nonexistent.
This is a DNF because reading it is sloooooooooow torture and I have other better things to read.
