Mini Review: HeartStone

A Pride and Prejudice Retelling with Dragons

How it's Different:
Wyverns
Jane and Lizzie's sister dies before the books open
Monsters
Merybourne Manor
Charlotte's happiness with her husband
The battle at the end

The Feel of the Book is the Same:
It follows a similar plot line (obviously details have been changed to fit the dragon)
Lydia/Wickham story is a bit different - which I liked
The tension between Aliza and Alastair is spot on

I really enjoyed this retelling! 
I wouldn't mind other Austen novels set in this world too!
