This was a great conclusion to the Bridgerton series! I’m so glad I read them.

“Everyone had spent so much time telling her that love was a thing of magic, something wild and uncontrollable that came like a thunderstorm. And now it was something else? It was just comfort? Something peaceful? Something that actually sounded nice?”

The Bridgerton series ended on a rather mediocre note for me. I didn't hate this one, but I didn't love it either. I didn't find myself particularly drawn to the heroine or the love interest, and while I wasn't necessarily bored or put out by the book, I wasn't captivated either. I've heard that Julia Quinn didn't plan on and / or didn't want to write all of the siblings' stories, but her fan based more or less demanded it. If I'm being candid, this book felt like Quinn didn't want to be writing it. The first half and second half of the book are wildly different, it was almost like she couldn't decide on a plot, and then the ending (and kind of the transition from the first half to the second half) were so clunkily put together, it felt like she just couldn't wait to be done. It had its moments that kept me in it and at least wanting to finish it, but after it all, I'm glad to be done. So long, Bridgertons, for the foreseeable future anyway. The Rokesbys is on my radar, but it will definitely be some time before I get it into it.
