I still liked this, and I think this might be her most technically well written of her books, but I personally enjoyed this the least of the six. It's as long as Emma, but it's just not as justified in its length. And there just isn't a cast of endearing characters. Fanny seems to be the only sensible, kind person while everyone else is terrible! Even Edmund. And even then, Fanny isn't a very fun character to follow. She's kind of a wet blanket. On the other hand, I get that we're supposed to find Mary immoral - and I am on Fanny's side - but she was a fun character. She actually kind of reminds me of Lizzy Bennet - only more insolent...! (Too bad she's a tactless, selfish liar.) The pacing of the book is also totally off. There's a decent set up and then it drags and then there's the play and then in drags and then some exciting stuff happens right at the end, super quickly! The ending is so abrupt!
