Review: Good and Not so good

I am finding it hard to make up my mind about this book:  on the one hand the writing is not great, it was as if the author just crammed as many of the regency words found in Georgette Heyer as she could.  This is fun if you are a GH fan (I am) but if not, it might be a bit wearing.  There is a very definite GH influence in the characters as well.  On the other hand, the writing and the characters were NOT up to GH standard and therefore the overall book suffered by comparison.I enjoyed the fact that the author didn't explain everything and let the reader work some things out.  However, by the end I still don't know who Horus was.  There are also some things dropped into the story which might have benefitted from just a bit of explanation -- for example why does the heroine wear stripes all the time, knowing they don't suit her? And other such little things.In the beginning I found the book a bit slow-going but it picked up half way through and in all I enjoyed it.So I remain split and can only recommend it half-heartedly.
