I kind of loved the drama of it all but I can’t forgive how completely boring Lucy and Gregory are as people. They don’t really have personalities and I wasn’t able to invest in their love like I could for most of the other Bridgerton siblings. He only gets a tiny pass for busting into a church to stop a wedding and propose to the bride himself. And I guess Lucy has some OCD tendencies too.
Unfortunately, I don’t know who I’d recommend this final book in the series to. Spice lovers will not be satisfied at all. I think maybe self deprecating messy gays could enjoy, since they finally have a little representation. That said: I had a good time and I’m ready to say goodbye to the series.

_evyn_'s review against another edition
4.5
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.

The developments are a bit quick. It felt a bit like trying too hard to bring something new after the previous seven books.
And (without spoilers) the main characters behavior confused me at times and made it hard to grow attached to them.
The beginning was interesting, but afterwards it lost my interest more and more.
