This was my first Georgette Heyer novel and I enjoyed it. I would be willing to try another of her novels.
Pros: lots of action and adventure; characters you root for; interesting time and place for the setting.
Cons: needed more exposition at the beginning to get straight who was who and what was going on; some repetitive passages; some cheesy romantic passages
The only other thing I will mention about this book that I found mildly strange was the treatment of gender and sexuality. It's tricky because it takes place in the 1700s and was written in the 1920s. It plays it safe as possible but would make for some good discussion.
