This is the first book I've read for the new year, and as someone coming out of a long reading slump, I found it easy to understand and engage with. It also helps that I watched the tv show based on this book to prepare for this book's adaptation, so it was a lot easier to picture most of the characters in the book. 

Now for the book itself, I found it fast-paced, enjoyable, and addicting enough that I'm ready to move onto the next one. Is it predictable and cliche in terms of tropes? Yes. But sometimes cliche is what we need to get ourselves through the day and through rough slumps. After all, who doesn't love a good friends to lovers story (or in this case, my best friend's brother to lover)?

Acho que, até ao momento, este é o volume de que mais gostei. Tal deve-se, indiscutivelmente, ao facto de ter considerado Penelope e Colin, bem como a sua dinâmica, menos problemáticos do que a maioria das duplas anteriores. Também o facto de Colin, enquanto personagem masculina, apresentar menos comportamentos marcadamente irritantes e uma maior consciência das falhas que possuí do que os anteriores irmãos Bridgerton, conduziu a que o próprio não se tornasse tão enervante. Não obstante, as fúrias inexplicáveis que foi apresentando, em alguns momentos, têm muito que se lhes diga...

Além das questões referentes ao casal, também as cenas que incluíram outras personagens foram mais frequentes e relevantes para o enredo, tanto o livro, como da coleção. A este nível, gostei particularmente de todas as cenas que incluíram Eloise e Hyacinth, na medida em que ambas são bastante incisivas e divertidas, na forma como se relacionam com os outros. Também a relação de Penelope com a sua irmã mais nova, Felicity, e a amizade que vai travando, no início da história, com Lady Danbury foram muito agradáveis de ler, sendo evidentes o carinho e apoio mútuos.

Por fim, a revelação da identidade de Lady Whistledown, ainda que não muito surpreendente, acrescentou um pouco mais de magnitude ao enredo e originou um sentimento de alguma antecipação, que não esteve presente em nenhum dos volumes anteriores.
