I found Freddy deeply charming, but Cotillion was still in some ways a slog. And in other ways an effervescent delight -- I love genial characters with unexpected competence, especially when they're good-hearted. But my god, the class issues in that book.
I realize that class issues are sort of a glaring problem with Heyer anyway, admittedly, which is why I've only read the two Heyer books I was personally recced as "You probably won't like much Heyer but you should read these ones." The other was Talisman Ring, and I liked it much better!
(Sorcerer to the Crown I have just embarked upon, and like everyone else I've run across I'm enjoying it thoroughly so far.)
