Falling for Mr Darcy
KaraLynne Mackrory
3/5
This is me trying to read as many of these P&P variations as possible before my Kindle Unlimited subscription expires. This one was okay, it starts on the premise of Darcy taking Elizabeth home after she suffers a minor injury on one of her walks. That's fine I guess, but like a couple of the other variations I read, there was no central misunderstanding.
I'm reading these because the first one I read so artfully rewrote the central misunderstanding of pride and prejudice that the original so artfully displayed. That's the fun part about variations, seeing how far you can bring the plot away from the original while maintaining the characterizations and the struggles. Here, it was fine as a historical romance of this period, it just didn't feel very accurate to the characters.
So it was ok, it wasn't extraordinary. The injury at the beginning didn't make as much of an impact on the plot-line as the synopsis leads you to believe, so that's annoying. But there were some good moments here and it ranks pretty average in the available variations.
