I like the series for the most part, but really, I feel like it reads similar to a soap opera. Little drips of daily drama, lots of repeats so one can catch up if they miss a day.
I enjoy reading it, it is certainly different, but I don't love it.

I am intrigued to wonder what it would be like if severely condensed in to one big novel...

Continuing with the problems that Darcy and Elizabeth (who seems to be a bit outspoken for a Regency lady) especially have to face, but we also learn of the problems that have beset the other relations. Hoping that the next book will concentrate on these families rather then the Darcy one.

I have waited over a year for this book to come out. So I was very excited to finally purchase this book off Amazon and start reading it. Elizabeth is recovering from the beating Mr Collins gave her, Georgiana is still a spoiled little brat, Caroline is still Caroline and Wickham is still his charming self. The amount of hostility in this book from almost everybody made me put the book down several times until I could focus and resume.

You got to love how Mrs Bennet can turn any situation into something bad. Mr Bennet doesn't even want to hear Lizzy's side of the story and well he ends up alienating his favorite daughter. I understand that people's actions can have consequences but you would think that people would want to know the truth instead of hearsay. Georgiana and Caroline did their best to make sure that Lizzy would not be accepted into Mr Darcy's circle and that's a shitty thing to do to your future sister-in-law. I can't stand Georgiana in this series. This is something I expect from Caroline but not Georgiana. But what can you expect after Wickham has corrupted the poor girl.

I do admire that Darcy is doing his best to correct his family's situation but honestly he should have just washed his hands of the Wickhams. His sister made her bed and she should have to deal with the consequences. By the end of the book our dear couple still haven't made it to the altar but now they are finally on their way to Gretna Green to elope. I really hope that everything gets cleared up in the next book and that we don't have to wait a year for it.
