the little bookish

Overall: 4 stars

I will review about Simon and Daphne's, Gregory and Lucy's, and Violet's happily ever afters only. As I have read, rated, and reviewed the rest before the release of this book.

I was sad with the end of Bridgertons series because it is one of the best series I've ever read. And with amazing, wonderful stories in it. With this book, I am once again, fill with happiness! I've missed them so much!

Duke and I: The 2nd Epilogue - 4 stars
I wasn't expecting to laugh out loud reading the story. Of course, it has got to be something about Simon and Daphne. And Colin and his family made appearances too.

On the Way to the Wedding: The 2nd Epilogue - 4 stars
For this story, all I can say is that what happened to Lucy makes Gregory's and my hair turn gray in fast pace.

Violet in Bloom: Novella - 5 stars
I had mixed feelings for this story. It is so beautiful but at the same time, heart wrenching! Finally, I got to know the late Edmund.

[Edmund] was so happy. He made her happy.
He was her other half [...] They would be young together, and then they would grow old together.
"And he laughed," Eloise said. "He loved to laugh. He had the very best laugh, our papa..."

Oh I cried. Cried in the inside. I cried for Violet because she lost her dear beloved husband. I cried for Hyacinth because she wouldn't know her father in different approach. The story is happy at first, not at the middle but okay in the end. But I felt sorrowful during my entire reading because I knew what happened then. It's just so sad, really.

I was left again yet by another mystery. I wonder, who is the man dancing with Violet at the masquerade ball?

I think this is truly the end of Bridgertons series, huh. I love and miss the family. Always.

Recommended.
