A Sea of Stars

3.5 stars.

Well, I saw "Darcy's POV" and I knew I had to check it out.

It was good. Well written. Stays true to [b:Pride and Prejudice|1885|Pride and Prejudice|Jane Austen|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1320399351s/1885.jpg|3060926].

I adored more on the friendship with Charles. I was smiling every time he showed up.

One of my only "qualms", if you will, was the fact that Darcy is, um, well...soppy. Just a little bit too mushy. Not how I saw him in my head, esp. near the very beginning of the story.

As my sage sister pointed out, it is very much the author's interpretation. One person's view of Darcy. And that's fine, it just didn't stop me from snickering loudly when it got ridiculous.

But slight mushiness aside, I really liked reading it and definitely will be checking out the rest of this three volume novel.

Oh! And Fletcher!! I simply adored Fletcher. He is brilliant. And, I'm fairly certain, the original Darcy/Elizabeth shipper. He even coordinates their clothing at some events.

And, as I was reading, I found myself wondering what I would be thinking if this was the original novel and P&P was the alternate or if I'd never read P&P. I came to the conclusion that I'd be lost. Don't try to read this without having read P&P. Lord knows why you'd be interested in this in the first place if that was the case, but that's neither here nor there. Just don't do it.
