The Bridgertons: Happily Ever After by Julia Quinn

4.0

4.5

Overall, this was a joy to read. I really will miss the Bridgertons. It's the end of an era. (Special shout out to Violet in Bloom!)

Anyway, here are my ratings of each individual story:

Duke and I 2nd Epilogue: 3 It was cute, but kind of meandering and pointless? I did like Daphne being back though. I liked her so much. Also, SIMON~

The Viscount Who... 2nd Epilogue: 4 It was hilarious, and amazing. I liked every bit of it. Anthony and Kate are one of my favorite Bridgerton couples.

An Offer From... 2nd Epilogue: 3.5 It was a solid little cute tale, and surprisingly short.

Romancing Mr.... 2nd Epilogue: 4.5 The one that TRULY felt like a 2nd epilogue, as opposed to an extra short story. It was really great to read it, and it fits really well after reading book #5, in my opinion.

To Sir Phillip... 2nd Epilogue: 4 Surprisingly good for a 1st person experiment. It felt kind of unnecessary to have the 1st person (I consider it an unnecessary handicap when it doesn't really DO anything WITH the tool of 1st person) , but I understand that Quinn wanted to experiment, and the story itself, was cute.

When He Was... 2nd Epilogue: 3.5 It would have been a higher rating but...look. I get why the story did what it did but...I wish it had been braver. No spoilers here.

It's In His Kiss 2nd Epilogue: 3 Cute, but added very little to the story overall. Disappointing, because they're my favorite Bridgerton couple. Oh well, still nice to see them one last time.

On the Way to...2nd Epilogue: 3 Too sad to truly be a favorite, but...it was something I guess? I just think it's too cruel for a 2nd Epilogue, and thus, we know the ending, thus...it's kind of meaningless sorrow.

Violet In Bloom: 5 I cannot express how much I loved this novella. READ IT, OH MY GOD. Even if you don't buy the book, please read this after reading the Bridgerton series. It is SUCH a touching close to the series. Especially for fans of Violet.

I'll miss you Bridgertons! (Until 2016...)
