You know what really bothers me?

Besides the lack of plot, character depth or growth, consistency, the fact that we're supposed to root for awful people, the copy-pasted scenes, cookie cutter sex scenes, etc.

That Julia Quinn has no fucking clue how the postal system in Regency England worked.

'She’d been in London, but she’d not been out in society. Perhaps she was the youngest in her family, and had been reading Whistledown while her older sisters enjoyed their seasons.'

Benedict, babe, how much of an idiot are you? The first thing she told you was that she didn't have siblings.

Let me get this straight, Anthony wants to literally shoot Simon because he kissed Daphne, but then kisses Kate and acts like nothing?
I know this is a quick, shitty reading, but still.

This is being a drag so far. Both internal monologues are insufferable.

Sometimes Oraya is the stupidest person alive or unalive.

So far, this reads like a half-hearted copy of Ninth House

'Smackity-smack-smack!'

...

This is extremely boring and clunky-written so far...

I love how now I'm reading Dune, apparently. JLA decided to throw *everything at hand* into this book.

I don't really buy the since-I'm-a-scientist-I-need-to-be-shitty-to-people, but, oh well, let's see where this goes.

“That far back, women birthed babies at home all the time and there wasn’t much reason to record the birth with the county.”

The 1800's birth records I had to search for months to find the fucking birth certificate of my great grandfather would like to have a word with you, Missus Young.

Ah, yes, this is the perfect moment to have the protagonist make stupid decisions against all she said during the entirety of the book.

Everything is a plot point. A short book that is getting overwhelming to read.

At this point, I suspect all women in this book are witches. Or fantasy Germany has specially magnificent hair genes.

So far, three tropes in a trenchcoat. It feels like someone fed a list of SEOs to an AI.

The amount of child abuse casually thrown in this book is astounding. My favourite part are the reviews from adults not saying anything about it.
