Derivative, perhaps? Doesn't lessen the quality
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
The other reviewer was somewhat scornful of this book as "derivative" of Heyer's "Regency Buck." Perhaps there are plot points similar in both cases (and I note that they are plot points shared by quite a few other Regencies, including other Heyer books). But that shouldn't diminish the depth of characterization that is common in Richardson's books. While there is definitely an interesting plot in "GG," the book concentrates on the development of the relationship between the two characters. The growth of friendship and love in the relationship is well-paced and believable, and the secondary characters are delightful.C'mon, let's face it -- Heyer is the best of the best. But that doesn't mean that other authors out there aren't contributing lively, interesting stories with well-developed characters. Richardson is definitely one of those authors.
