Heartstone

[b:Pride and Prejudice 1885 Pride and Prejudice Jane Austen https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1320399351s/1885.jpg 3060926] retelling - Yes.With hobgoblins? Still with you.And Dragons? Alright, probably something to like here.Except, it was all just, there. I kept reading simply because of my love of Pride and Prejudice. Granted, I haven't read the book, no, I watched the BBC show, with my Grandma, when I was 10-ish. I absolutely love it. Hrm, maybe I should give it(the book) a go, I was always worried it would ruin the show for me. There were things I liked, Aliza is still headstrong, Lady Catriona is the matriarch of the Daired family, and I did appreciate the differences in her. I loved the dragons, they talk, they have personality, they bond with their riders. Whats not to enjoy! There are hobgoblins, they are a little interesting, and then there are the Heartstone's. You'll have to read through this book to find that out. Her relief is short-lived. With the arrival of the haughty and handsome dragonrider, Alastair Daired, Aliza expects a battle; what she doesn't expect is a romantic clash of wills, pitting words and wit against the pride of an ancient house.This is part of why I didn't love this book, I wasn't feeling the romance. It was romance light. It was almost non existent. And the second reason why I wasn't loving this book as much as I could have, was probably because it was a P&P retelling. The world EKW surrounds you with is beautiful, with creatures, a decent plot, and characters that are interesting. I just was expecting such and such to happen, and it did, so I kind of was going through this whole book with no surprises.
