The Lord of Stariel has very strong Downton Abbey vibes, and I don’t love it. I think it’s because I want there to be some kind of analysis of the inequality in the social system, and there just isn’t. It feels like the author picked this time period (in an ‘alternate England’ setting) because it can be neutrally romantic and fancy. But it isn’t neutral, and I can’t not see it. I’m not hating the book, it’s fine, but I’m not loving it. #AmReading #bookstodon
