Is there anything wrong with that?

I like Jane Austen better personally, but Georgette Heyer has more interesting plots, plus more nobility in fancy clothes, plus unlike Jane Austen she describes poor people sometimes as well, so I hear you.

Heyer is a lighter read. She's better on mystery and military history, though not as good on naval background. Quality of writing and characterisation - I's say there isn't much to choose between them, though Austen is much better on social commentary and sly humour. Heyer has far too many exclamation marks.

They are both leaders of the pack in their own genre (in Austen's case this is the novel as a whole) but honestly, both reign supreme at what they do.

I like Heyer's mysteries (set in her present day of the 1930s)but have never read any of her regency books. I should get on that.

IMO, Heyer is fluffier and more fun. Austen is wittier with better observations about human behavior. Heyer wrote more about the wealthy ton and spent more time in cities like London and Bath. Austen didn't stray very far from the social context she grew up in.
