- Diverse cast of characters? No
1.0
The fact that Hyacinth enjoys reading entertaining but poorly written books (with Lady Danbury) was extremely ironic, as that's exactly what I'm doing. Quinn's writing is not as bad as the author within her own book, but I still see so much more potential for her novels to be so much better. All the framework is there, it's just never explored fully.
I do think, also, that Hyacinth might be on the spectrum. She is a perfectionist with a strong sense of justice, social bluntness and more. If we ever get her season on the Bridgerton series, I hope they explore that rather than take her character in a different direction.
Julia seems to make all her heroes state somewhere along the way that the heroine is "Not like the other girls". I don't think I noticed until this one that she does this every time without fail. I do think Hyacinth was at least more unique than usual (but still mostly copy paste personality wise save a few threads that weren't pulled on hardly enough). But it's an annoying trope to compare women like that.
