The one where the madcap cousins stumble upon sorcerous plots in Austen times, which they describe to one another in letters.

This was charming -- I devoured it in two days and looked around for more -- and yet it must be said that throughout the entire book, I never did manage to tell Kate and Cecy apart without checking the salutation on the letter; their voices, their flaws, their virtues, were so similar that they didn't really register as different people.

Punk I had the same problem with telling the girls apart. They had nearly identical voices and characters. Except...Kate was clumsy. And Cecy was the witchy one. For a while I was even convinced that James and Thomas was the same guy! They were dark and brooding in the same way. But, yes, a fun book all the same.

Res Yes! And Aunt Elizabeth turns out to be quite distinct from Aunt Charlotte, but this isn't apparent until late in the book.

And yet I'm reading the sequel already.

Stephanie A few reviews have mentioned this difficulty in telling the girls apart, so I'm glad to know it wasn't just me!

But it was fun, and I've got the next two on hold at the library already!
