Balise reviewed Without a Summer by Mary Robinette Kowal (Glamourist Histories)
Review of 'Without a Summer' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
I did like it, but I didn't engage much with it. It may well be a "timing" issue more than a "book" issue, though.

I thoroughly enjoyed this new installment in this Jane Austen-meets-magic-and-adventure series. The previous one, Glamour in Glass added espionage and warfare to the Regency/Austen world. This one has high stakes political machinations, issues with class oppression, and a more private eye element: tailing a suspect! Surveillance! Jane and Vincent's relationship just keeps getting more interesting, too.
