I had a really hard time getting into this book.  As much as I would love to learn more about palmistry it just wasn't an enjoyable read.  The book also often made references to other lines/area on a palm, various mounts, that hadn't actually been explained or introduced yet.  Without any illustration for where on the palm that might be.  I think this just wasn't the book for me, or good for my learning style.

This was a fun story but I absolutely hate Richard and Hermione. Especially Richard. I also didn’t love that Gregory was interested in someone else first. But overall I love Gregory and Lucy together. I’m a bit sad that Kate wasn’t more present in the second half when she was so much a champion for Lucy in the beginning. I loved seeing hyacinth since she and Gregory are so close. Just note that if you read the second epilogue there it could be triggering due to life threatening pregnancy/birthing complications. 

Screaming into the void because the ending was not what I hoped but still great story!  I was actually in a bit of a reading slump and definitely struggled with the beginning of this book, but I I think that was more because of my slump than the book just getting off to a slow start. 

Loved this segment in lore Olympus! 

I was excited for this book but ultimately found it disappointing.  There didn't seem to be any real conflict other than Alex and Nala being stubborn, Nala more so than Alex, which was kind of annoying.  For all she claimed to be independent and strong she refused to be upfront about what she wanted.  And any other conflict seemed to be minor.  The attacks were quickly resolved, the relationship with Clan Grant quickly resolved, and Leah also quickly just resolved.  Would have preferred if there was one real conflict that was fully developed.

I wasn't prepared, but at one point I just started crying.  This is an amazing collection of poems.  I'm so glad I managed to find a signed copy in a local bookstore.  Definitely check content warnings.

Incredible collection of poetry. The first I’ve read from this author and I will be checking out more. I really appreciate the variety in format in this collection. Some themes may be triggering for readers, specifically miscarriage and infertility. 

I love this series and this was a great addition!  While sad not having Alick's story yet, it was nice to shift back to the family that started the series with the MacKays.  Both leads, Annella and Graeme were wonderful and I loved them together.  The story was fun, and just a relaxing enjoyable read.  I cannot wait for more!

This was such an enjoyable read!  Hyacinth is one of my favorites of the Bridgerton siblings and it was lovely to see her find a love that loved her just as she is.  It was a bit of a down side seeing so little of the other siblings, but as she is the youngest and one of the last to wed, it makes sense the others would be busy with their own lives and children.  Gareth seemed wonderful and his family turmoil compared to the Bridgerton's loving family was really well done.  The relationship with Lady Danbury is the best!
