_evyn_'s review

challenging dark emotional sad tense

4.5

This book was well written and intriguing and satisfying but also upsetting. I was not expecting to be so surprised by the disgusting abusive behavior of some of the new characters based on the more predictable plots of previous books in the series. It wasn't an entirely unwelcome change because I imagine it was realistic, just disturbing and hard to reconcile. 
The second epilogue should have had a trigger warning about the very explicit though probably  realistic blood and bodily harm to a character I'm sure many readers, like myself, will have grown a significant amount of love and empathy for (which does make the events harder to stomach). I threw up and had to skip ahead enough to not risk seeing any more so I am not exactly sure what I missed but I'm sad that I won't know the whole truth about the ending even if I stayed shaking and faint for awhile after. 
Still, I give this book a 4.5 and tip my hat to Julia Quinn for writing a captivating series.

5.0

This might just be my favorite book in the series. It has a perfect balance of actual dramaticly engaged plot and heart tugging romance. The only Bridgerton book to bring me close to tears. The way Gregory speaks of love touched my heart, even from the jump this is one of the most truly romantic books of the series. It felt like real love. Its amazing to see Quinn's progression in skill as the series goes on. Loved this book so much
