It does not seem fair, because it was I who found the necklace, after all

The guinea drops: Naomi Novik's Temeraire is not an Aubrey-and-Maturin, but a Regency romance.

This revelation brought to you courtesy of Georgette Heyer's The Corinthian (1940) and a low-grade fever. I am sure everyone else has already noticed. I'm going back to bed.

You know, I will be lynched for saying this, lynched, but I thought the first one was just fan fiction with the serial numbers filed down.

Well, because it's a quite successful series, and some might see the statement, true as I find it, to be some sort of strange aspersion on her talent, which it absolutely isn't. I just live with a low-grade Jewish paranoia at constant hum.

Given that she founded the Organization for Transformative Works and probably has more fans as [livejournal.com profile] astolat than as [livejournal.com profile] naominovik, I don't think she'd be insulted. *)
