A Marvellous Light - Freya Marske

Didn't finish

I almost abandoned this in the first chapter, as soon as the Edwardian aristocrats started to speak like modern Americans - how did an editor let that get through? - but read on in case the story made up for it. It didn't. The characters were interchangeable and nothing much happened except endless exposition. When I realised I was skimming chapters, it was clearly time to stop. I didn't even care enough to get as far as the sex scenes.

(One blurb - thankfully only just spotted - recommends it for fans of Georgette Heyer. Er, it has absolutely nothing in common with Heyer except perhaps being Rich British Historical People Problems.)
