A review by daumari
The Duke and I by Julia Quinn
3.0
A quick entertainment
I came to this after watching the Netflix Bridgerton adaptation aaaaand I think this is one of the cases where the adaptation improves on the source material. Could be due to the fact that all books are out so they can draw on future plots but also the casting choices were inspired (man I feel like I'm never not talking about Wheel of Time...) The show is soapy, but that's not surprising given the source! I was entertained but there wasn't anything particularly compelling (love scenes are alright).
Daphne's betrayal of Simon's trust is more egregious here, and I'm not really convinced on how they smoothed over their difference of opinion.
