Pride & Prejudice & Airships

De: Caylen McQueen, A Lady

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single woman in possession of good fortune, must be in want of a husband. Similarly, young men of meager means, such as the Bennet brothers, must be desperate to find a wife. In an alternate universe where airships rule the sky, women govern the world. Men aren't allowed to join the military, carry firearms, or pilot airships. In fact, a young man's only goal is to attract a wealthy wife. For centuries, unmarried men have been labeled as “spinsirs” and treated like social pariahs. In a world where gentlemen are little more than property, Elisander Bennet longs for something more. Elisander meets Darcy Fitzwilliam, a military captain who turns up her nose at the Bennets' low birth. She antagonizes Elisander and his family, while secretly resisting a growing attraction to him. Meanwhile, Elisander is robbed and romanced by Georgette Wickham, a flirtatious pirate with a dark reputation. Regency and steampunk collide in this gender-swapped Pride & Prejudice retelling.

Boo to the AI narrator.

I love Pride and Prejudice. I love Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. I even liked the movie they did for that. But this drivel, I'm so sorry. I couldn't finish it. Oh, it was not good. And listening to that voice made it so much worse.
