 I was interested enough to finish in a day so it was enjoyable enough however the characters felt flat compared to the other Bridgerton characters. Particularly Francesca which feels odd to say given all the character goes through. Maybe it’s because she’s rarely mentioned in the other Bridgerton in the books? The other characters have more prominent mentions than Francesca. Hell, even in the show Francesca only appears in one episode near the end, seemingly out of blue.

Then again this is Michael’s first appearance and he seems a little more fleshed out by comparison. It probably didn’t help I was frustrated by Francesca running away multiple times. Oh well, going with a 3 because it was fun entertainment on a snowy afternoon but I doubt I’ll be re-reading this book of the series.
