I am always kind of astonished by the recs that don't mention this, largely because it is SO FUCKING BLATANT. My experience of reading Heyer universally goes like this:

Fun!
Fun!
Awesome fun!
SLAP IN THE FACE!
Fun!
More fun!
PUNCH IN THE MOUTH!
Fun!
Delightful fun!
OH FUCK SERIOUSLY AGAIN?
More fun!
Happy ending!

I guess other people are better at forgetting being punched in the face? That has always been my impression from the enthusiastic recommendations that don't mention the critical "author hates you" part.

But the Grand Sophy is fun anyway, right?
