Faro's DaughterFaro's Daughter by Georgette Heyer

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


You could make a great emoticon set out of Georgette Heyer books. I mean, she wrote like 800, and she did so many things, she basically covered the entire gamut of human romantical pursuits. The emoticon for this book would be a squinchy scowly face with the tongue sticking out. An 'anything you can do I can do better' face, since that's basically how the hero and heroine communicate.

Fun, kind of forgettable, more conventional at the last than I was hoping. But sticking out your tongue is always a little enjoyable however old you are, so.

I just loved the hell out of the way the dude was all "You let me out without her knowing? Hell no! Put me back! I'll get out by beating her or not at all!"

But yeah, the very end made me sadface. Why must you make your awesome heroine a little smaller and sadder, Georgette? It's okay! Her guy was great! She didn't need to be small to make him look bigger!
