This was a quick and entertaining Mansfield sequel, even though I felt some of the characters didn't really track. But I did love this take on Susan, who had her sister Fanny's good moral sense with a great deal more spunk and backbone. I can say that I saw the ending coming and still felt WTF about it; but somehow that didn't ruin it for me. This was just a fun, fanfic-y look at a novel I love, and I was here for it! #PemberLittens
Attempting to start my next read for the #PemberLittens, but Tom needs to make an inspection first. #TomKitten #CatsOfLitsy
Oh my gosh, life is crazy this week!!! I miss all of you - just haven't had much scrolling time!!!
This was a pleasant little read - a sequel to Mansfield Park. It honestly wasn't super gripping, and Aiken kills off Sir Thomas (my favorite character if I'm honest haha) on the first page, but it was fun to see where she took everyone. I'm not completely sure I agree with the romance, but if you're looking for a relaxing MP sequel for ⬇️
I finally finished! What a surprise ending... Fanny and Edmund ended up together. Who could have imagined! 🤣😂 All kidding aside, this was an interesting read, and definitely had me pondering what Austen was trying to get at writing such a heroine as Fanny. #pemberlittens
I liked it, but I'm not sure I was totally sold on it. At about 2/3 of the way through, and I realized there was still so much left to resolve with so little of the book remaining. The ending definitely felt rushed (not totally unlike the original) and feelings and that had definitely not been explored besides the very barest of hints, were dumped on the reader. I would still recommend this to Austen fans, but get ready for some hasty resolutions.
I'm three pages from the end of my book... but I'm still sick 😷 on to the next I guess.
The weather right now is gross and wet and I'm home sick on my day off. Clearly the best thing to do is read a Jane Austen adaptation.
