Don't bother

Revisado: 06-04-24

This story is completely anachronistic and nobody is in character on top of that. Lizzy gives in easily to the proposal from Mr Darcy, Mr Bennett has no concerns about his daughter being unhappy and Mrs Bennett is going to mass?!

I'm not sure why the author bothered even making this a P&P variation, it would have been better if it was an original fiction. Just change the names of all the characters and nobody will suspect that it was ever related to Pride and Prejudice.

Inconsistent and Out of character

Revisado: 01-06-24

Mr Bennett goes from forcing his favorite daughter to marry Mr Collins, to then insisting she wait to marry Mr Darcy so she doesn't rush into it and regret it. It seems incredibly inconsistent and makes him feel uncaring.

Lizzy is a bit stupid in this story - running away in bad conditions multiple times and believing Caroline Bingley.

There were many other things that were inconsistent in this way and it really made the story unenjoyable as a result.

The only real highlight was the narration.

Sad and ableist

Revisado: 08-02-22

The characters keep saying that Duncan has a broken brain which is very hurtful. Describing an autistic character as being broken in any way is one of the worst and most unfortunate ways to do this if you are considering that Autistic people may actually read your book.

It's one thing that a rude person a long time ago said it, but HIS WIFE repeats that he has a broken brain to someone else.

As an autistic adult I found this story upsetting on a lot of levels, but that was the biggest part for me. I'm not broken and that would be the most hurtful thing anyone could say about me. I felt broken for most of my life and finally realized I'm not.

If the author wanted to write about disabled characters why did she need to make the two disabled people fall in love? Why can't an abled person and disabled person fall in love? That is really uncomfortable to me, as the story seemed to repeat the idea that these two people weren't good enough for normal people, but the leftovers could take comfort in each other.

Super ableist viewpoint and I just felt like they both deserved better futures.

So-so Story - bad narrator.

Revisado: 07-25-22

The narrator uses this raspy voice for all the male characters that make them sound like they all have lung damage from a fire they all escaped. It sounds painful and I found it confusing to distinguish the villain and the love interest because of this.

The story itself is alright, but the heroine is just really stupid and ignores all the red flags and the literal pleading of her true love to run away with him for reasons that are difficult to believe, quite frankly.

It's pretty heavy handed with the Christian religious reflection on the part of the character, but it didn't really feel forced. If that isn't your thing maybe skip this one.

It's a free listen right now since it's included so I don't regret listening to it, but I would have regretted paying for it.

Gaslighting, Rapist, Abusive Mr Darcy

Revisado: 02-21-22

This story glorifies an abusive man abusing his wife, shown from the perspective of the gaslit woman he is married to. This is not the Mr Darcy that Jane Austen wrote, because he was not cruel.

Very disappointed.
