Re: what Issy said - I thought all the slang in the Heyer books I read felt like just too much/trying too hard.
It was like reading a modern book where the author has tried too hard to make it sound like regional dialect by putting in way too many instances of "och" or "y'all" or whatever.
I'd prefer it if the author just threw in an occasional slang word or local term for flavor but mostly stuck to standard English. It's just easier to read.
