Jarring Use of Modern Words
1
By brite1
While there were grammatical & editing mistakes in this regency story, it was Anders’ use of modern words that was most jarring. A female character calls a dog “buddy,” an Americanism first used in the 1840s. A male character is concerned about keeping an invalid “hydrated;” it was not until 1947 that the definition of hydrate expanded to include “to restore moisture.” Does Anders have access to the internet? Does she at least have a dictionary? Does she know how to research? Does anyone edit her work?
Fun read

This was a fun read with lots of conflicts. How can one man be so evil and selfish? The author gave him a break and let him live. I would have killed him at the first duel. Overall it was a great read.

This was a fairly good story except for the moments of modern American language interspersed within the 1800’s English that was so out of of place as to be distracting. And annoying!
The story for me was predictable but still relatively entertaining..
Good story.
