The couple focus is on Benedict Bridgerton and Sophie Beckett.

I do like Pang’s basic storyline. It’s interesting how she’s created a fey culture with these particular twists. But Abby is so stupid. And wishy-washy. Arghh. She’s so clueless about how Faerie operates and she just rushes in, rushes off, releasing and […]
