Interesting perspectives on Jane's world within her novels.  My only complaint is that the publisher bound this book backwards and upsidedown.

Interesting perspective on a single woman's place in the world during late 1800's and how she rose above her situation.

Easy reading with a lot of references to the literature of Jane Austen and her peers.  It kept me wondering how things were going to work out and I didn't really see the ending until the very last minute.

This is an excellent book.
It offers a unique perspective of Jane Boleyn and was an enjoyable read, even when it contradicted my previous assumptions about Jane's character and motivations.

In all my readings about the Tudors, this is the first book I've read that has compelled me to consider that Jane was more than history paints her, that she was a woman not so very different from me--- that she loved,  suffered loss, entertained longings and dreams, experienced all the great joys of marriages along with the challenges, and that she was conflicted and afflicted by circumstances outside her control.

Adrienne Dillard's descriptive writing is so excellent that I felt I was an eyewitness to every event of Jane's life.

While you may beg to differ with the author's take on Jane, you will certainly enjoy the journey through Jane's life as the Raven's Widow tells you her story in her own words.

This is a good novel for those who are fans of Jane Austen, although the style is somewhat more reminiscent of Anthony Trollope for me, perhaps something in between. However, you follow the path of Elinor's engagement and marriage up until the majority of her son, told mostly from the point of view of her second (?) cousin whose bias is very clear. It's a little long in places, but the details all make sense in the end.

This is quite an interesting book.  Learned much more about Jane Austen herself and was introduced to the theory that her early death could have occurred via poison from those around her.  Quite a lot of intrigue inside that family.  Enjoyed the read.

The mystery portion was good.  If you are the sort of person who becomes involved with the characters in the books you read this book is enjoyable because it provides follow-up of the lives of many of the characters in Jane Austen's novels.  Dispels the illusion that everyone lives happily ever after.

I became immersed in the mysterious world created by Wyld. There is a sense of menace and also some mystery about the central character & the location. Not sure whether the ending gives the reader quite enough resolution though.

In her previous novels about women's experiences in
the middle ages Dunant created really interesting woman
characters at the center of their historical moment. While
the protagonist emerges as a complex man,everyone around
him seems two dimensional. There is hope however for the
next installment. She leaves us with an interesting female character who
I'm sure will return.

The author succeeds in revealing insights into Jane Austen as a woman, sister, daughter, and friend while becoming an author and writing her own books. Even though I know it is fictional in part, Ms. Moser has used enough fact to give Jane a real voice in exploring and explaining how she became the person she was, just Jane . Nicely done.

Awesome read! There were several stories that were not set in any of her series worlds, but great nonetheless.

The novels are very short and give a good introduction to this author. She focuses on the inner life of the characters and allows the reader to contemplate what can underlie many very ordinary actions.

Even though fiction, I very much enjoyed Rinpoche's views on world and struggles. Interesting read and found innocence of Rinpoche's to be very endearing.

Very interesting insight into the fictional world the books are based in.  It is written in the style of a historian in the current age so it doesn't answer the big burning questions, but it does give good background on the races and some of the houses.  If you're a fan, you'll enjoy it but you will still be longing for Winds of Winter.

Gives great perspective on possibilities although fictional! The protagonist in the book keeps alternating, but the continuity in story is maintained by simplicity of the narrative.

I enjoyed this book, it was different from her other books but still very entertaining and engrossing. I find it kind of unrealistic though that a "housewife" would be able to solve a crime before the police but once I got pass that I really liked it. My favorite character though was Jane. I would love to read a whole book about her. Happy Reading!!
