Date: 2010-11-13 06:58 pm (UTC)I think of Heyer the same way I think of Stout--most of their work is unashamedly genre formula, without much depth. What makes them worth reading is the excellence with which they execute their own personal formulas; they both have style and flair and an ear for dialogue and prose. (And, as I've commented before, I appreciate the variety of character types in Heyer's protagonists. She uses tropes across a reasonably broad spectrum--it's not all cookie-cutter characters in every book. How often do you see a romance novel male protagonist like Freddie? In most books--and in most of Heyer's books, too, I should add--he'd never be more than a supporting character.)
