Had laugh out loud moments, but Thier's writing in this, as well as his last two books, have changed drastically from can't-put-down to meh. He made it a point to write as historically accurate as possible during the first four books but now he doesn't. In conclusion, this isn't as good as his first two books. Ok, but not as exciting. Dagliesh isn't even as formidable and foe-worthy in this one!
IT WAS A RIDEEEE. The ultimate GrumyXSunshine trope. Boy obsessed too. Also? ALSOOOOOO? Can y'all believe there was one time in past that condoms and other contraceptives was illegal but cocaine WASN'T??? All in all I was so entertained by this series
Highlights
'You see, on the one hand, you really don't want to invite them, because you don't want them within a hundred miles of your special day. On the other hand, you really want to invite them, to rub it in their faces how incredibly happy you are, and how you are marrying the most fantabulous man in the world, while all three of their daughters are still single.' 'Mr Ambrose considered the matter for a moment or two. 'Invite them,' he finally decided. 'Then, when they arrive, send out Karim to tell them there's been a misunderstanding, and the invite was sent to them by mistake.'
I love him
'Tomorrow, I'll be unavoidably detained.' 'Detained? You're my employee! I say when and where you go!' 'Indeed?' I smiled. 'Well, you're welcome to explain to your mother and sister. Of course, you can just come dress shopping with us. I'm certain your mother would love the opportunity to choose something fitting for you to wear, especially a new tailcoat, since this old thing you're wearing certainly isn't suitable for a wedding, and...Mr Ambrose? Mr Ambrose, where are you going, Sir? No need to run!'
I have to say that im liking these shenanigans more now that they are married.
'Yes. You will get used to it soon enough. After all, work in the house is a woman's true vocation.'
I thought we were over this…
