A Very Nice What-if Variation
By Lynn
When I read the first chapters of Rain and Retribution I was unsure I liked this Elizabeth Bennett. The witty and easy-to-satisfy young woman we love is replaced by a petulant teenager who slams the door to her father. Elizabeth, who had been described by J. Austen as "it was her business to be satisfied and certainly her temper to be happy..." (Pride and Prejudice), has left the novel and it is shocking. Once she meets Darcy and recognizes what he is, the J. Austen creation is once again recognizable and the novel takes form.
I have enjoyed Rain and Retribution because it is well written. Even if some dialogue is rendered in a more contemporary language, the whole is unified in that nothing stops you in your tracks. Some characters have been redesigned and I am happy for it. It gives more bones to secondary characters (Jane, Georgiana, Wickham). I did not mind at all that the tension of the novel is not on the principal characters, bur more to the actions and to an apprehension of what might happen next. I don't want to spoil the enjoyment of this book by giving the end away, so I won't say more, except that I liked the plot and the loving Darcys. The love scenes may shock some, but it was fine with me. Definitely not the worst I have read in the P&P spin offs.
The reason I don't give five star is that I did not feel compelled to turn the pages. I did read this book in a few days, much more than others not as well written, but more tightly knitted. The apprehension I felt was not a dread, nor did I ever felt like my heroes were in danger of not making it, whether not find themselves or being killed or separated (except for the few lat pages, that is). I may be obtuse but I never saw it coming, so I did not dread it...
If I could I would give this novel a 4 1/2 stars just for this little imperfection. Absolutely worth the hours of reading!

5 stars for most of the book, 3 stars for the conclusion
By Debbie B.
There is a great deal to enjoy in this book and I would dearly love to give it 5 stars, but I was disappointed in the author's choices in tying up many of her plot lines.
Starting with the positives, this is beautifully written with great character development. I was delighted with the "what if" deviations from the original, particularly in 3 areas: Mr. Bennet's determination that Lizzy must marry Mr Collins (not at all unbelievable, given the Regency times the story is set in), Jane's attitude toward Mr. Bingley being exactly as Mr. Darcy believes rather than heartbroken when he leaves Netherfield, and especially Georgiana's adolescent petulance and LACK of hero-worship of her big brother. Specifically addressing the last one, it made perfect sense that an oversheltered orphan going through puberty with only a brother who has no parenting experience would have some issues being under his authority. Well done, Ms. Diamond!
However, this book is not for those looking for happily-ever-after endings. While not exactly a HAMLET, this is NOT a lighthearted MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING. Not wishing to spoil the surprises in store for those who will read RAIN AND RETRIBUTION (which, honestly, is well worth reading), I will say that I was reveling in the author's skill at giving compelling motivations to all the characters for their actions, I was vicariously cheering for Darcy's and Elizabeth's strong marriage despite the challenges Georgiana presents throughout, I was immersed, I was enchanted, and I was anticipating that, just as in every P&P variation I've ever read (which number in the hundreds), all would be well in the end, when, all at once, I was startled to realize that all would NOT be well.
From roughly the time in the book where the news hits that Lydia has run off with Wickham, things get ugly. The plot goes from refreshingly believable to over-the-top melodramatic complete with a raging storm keeping our hero and heroine apart, and most particularly in the pivotal scene, where one character is exposed as dangerously insane and 2 major characters are killed. At the conclusion, families are still irrevocably broken apart and the Bennet family is more or less ruined. Not how one expects a feel-good romance story to end, is it?
I would still highly recommend it, as long as you are forewarned that there is as much tragedy as there is romance in the concluding chapters.
Oh, and yes, there's lots of sex throughout, but those scenes are as well written as the rest of the book and are only after they are married. There's perhaps more of it than is necessary, but that's a matter of personal taste. I know there are some who think ANY explicit sexual content is abhorrent, so, if you're one of them, this book isn't for you.

Great book
By Jules
So glad to finally read a well written sequel, pickings have been slim lately. The story line was fantastic and different, Darcy and lizzy passionate and so in love, even from the start. All in all this book is a pleasure, do yourself a favor. I have read every sequel printed and can say this is up there.
