Shades of Milk and Honey

It was a highly well-done book, for a debut. Of course, there were parts where I wanted to know more, and discover better and more things, but the glamours were interestingly done ( and! the most described part of the text ) and the love interest was a twist I very honestly didn't see coming, which was a pleasant twist in and of itself. I would have liked a slightly more ... thrilling? Plot, when it came to the ultimate conflict, but since it was meant to be reminiscent of Austen and Brontë, I can forgive this. Because it was well-done in that particular style, and I enjoyed it immensely. It was also a quick read; I finished it in a day, and it swallowed me to the very end. I very much look forward to reading more by Kowal.
