Pride and Prescience: Or, a Truth Univesally Acknowledged

This novel picks up the story of Lizzie & Mr Darcy on their wedding day, where they have been upstaged by Caroline Bingley's announcement of her engagement to a charming American. As they navigate being newlyweds, and continuing acquaintance with Caroline, strange things seem to start happening, and Caroline begins to act very oddly. Lizzie being the curious and intelligent woman she is can't help but to try to unpick the puzzle.

For much of the story I wasn't sure what I felt about the new characters, or who was my number one suspect in the mystery, as the clues were well executed and it genuinely seemed liked many were implicated, which kept me carried along in the narrative. The dynamic of the relationship between Lizzie & Darcy is charmingly done and feels true to the source material, although sadly Jane & Bingley didn't appear to have any chemistry. I probably would have preferred that Lizzie wasn't in possession of some supernatural/psychic instincts - I don't think it is necessary for her to have worked out the mystery, she is an intelligent and perceptive person already without it, so I don't think they were needed to justify her solving things. I don't have any objection to the other supernatural elements (magic use, talismans etc), it just felt that Lizzie being powered/gifted in that regard was superfluous.
