Oh, to be back in the romantic world of Julia Quinn! I wasn't quite sure anything could live up to the Birdgerton series but I think the Splendid trilogy has a fighting chance! I really enjoyed the characters though Emma did read a little young, which of course, she was so that's not exactly a character fault. I enjoyed the chemistry between Emma and Alex and I loved the side characters (I can't wait for book 2!). I think my favourite thing about the book though, was the last 10% after they were married because we got to focus on how little a wife has to do and how much less she's allowed to do, it was very refreshing to read about and I appreciated the realism.
