Light reading only
This is the latest in Julia Quinn's Bridgerton series and in book 7, its Hyacinth's turn to find love, and a little adventure along the way. Hyacinth had to be one of my favourite characters in all of the book for being the youngest and most outspoken of the Bridgerton siblings, and she finally met her match in Gareth St Clair. The plot revolves around Hyacinth translating Gareth's grandmother's diary that is written in Italian. In the diary are secrets about Gareth's family that he is trying to find out, and naturally along the way he and Hyacinth develop an affinity towards each other. The book is pure brain candy, but one that could be taken in small doses. I loved Julia Quinn's earlier books, but I found the storyline sweet, if a little bland and the adventures were not that exciting and then the story ended a little bit abruptly with a chapter at the end to tie up all the lose ends.
It was interesting to read about what some of the other Bridgerton siblings were doing, those who were mentioned in the book, but I think since the series is nearing its end with on Gregory Bridgerton to be married off, I hope that the final book will be more riveting.
Bad, bad, bad.
Miss Quinn's apparently audacious disregard for the conventions of the Regency period shines through, rendering the reader liable to feeling distinctly irritated. Occasional Americanisms do not improve the rather flat writing style for English readers. Setting the denouement of her plot in a room which would not have existed in English houses of the period simply serves to underline the fact that Miss Quinn should do a little research before attempting to write a novel set in a period about which she appears to be largely ignorant.
Great book
Great book highly recommended. Quinn pulls it off again with just the right mix of humor and romance. This book is a definite keeper!
