About this listen

Mary Robinette Kowal stunned readers with her charming first novel, Shades of Milk and Honey, a loving tribute to the works of Jane Austen in a world where magic is an everyday occurrence. This magic comes in the form of glamour, which allows talented users to form practically any illusion they can imagine. Shades debuted to great acclaim and left readers eagerly awaiting its sequel. Glamour in Glass continues following the lives of beloved main characters Jane and Vincent, with a much deeper vein of drama and intrigue.

In the tumultuous months after Napoleon abdicates his throne, Jane and Vincent go to Belgium for their honeymoon. While there, the deposed emperor escapes his exile in Elba, throwing the continent into turmoil. With no easy way back to England, Jane and Vincent's concerns turn from enjoying their honeymoon…to escaping it.

Left with no outward salvation, Jane must persevere over her trying personal circumstances and use her glamour to rescue her husband from prison...and hopefully prevent her newly built marriage from getting stranded on the shoals of another country's war.

I enjoyed listening to "Shades of Milk and Honey", so I went on and got "Glamour in Glass" as well. In terms of the story, the book is entertaining, the characters interesting. But I found the poor performance really distracting in this volume. The narrator's put-on British accent was already a bit hard to swallow in the first volume. "Glamour in Glass" is set in large part in Belgium, with short passages entirely in French, and long passages in fake French accent. The pronounciation of both was really, really poor to the point that it distracted from the story in a big way.
I thought I could ignore it, but now I think I'd have been better off reading the book, instead of listening to it.

The performance really distracted from the story.
