So, I keep seeing Georgette Heyer mentioned as an influence on Swordspoint, and I want to read some of her books, but apparently she wrote, like, fifty, and I have no idea where to start. Does anyone have recommendations for ones that are particularly relevant/well-written?

Any other book recommendations, by the way, are also welcome. And I know, I know, asking for such general recommendations tends to get me few responses, because it's so wide open that it actually stymies thought instead of encouraging it, but I can't think of a genre I want at the moment, other than "good". Um. Epic fantasy with interesting relationships always gets bonus points from me?

While she is mostly known for Regency-era stuff, her Georgian book, These Old Shades (one of a few) is probably the best example of why she and Swordspoint show up in the same breath.

Thank you! It's very nice not to have to work my way through her entire corpus, but can have the few I really want pointed out.
