![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Edmund is in a darker place, and his redemption happened a bit too rapidly for me. I frankly loved Juliana, who's both naive in her personal experiences and amazingly knowledgeable about nursing. Seeing their parents setting them up-Juliana's in hopes of a good match, Edmund's in hope that he'll stop focusing on death and failure-worked well to address that. I liked how Pierce showed both Juliana's and Edmund's parents working on bringing them together as frankly it wouldn't have made sense in Regency England for unmarried people of their class to be alone. Edmund is completely dispirited, something his parents recognize, and they engineer the opportunity for the omega Juliana to tend to the alpha Edmund with deeper hopes of attachment in mind. This is, at heart, a cabin romance, as Juliana and Edmund are basically on their own, with Edmund's home of Rickett Hall serving as the "cabin." Juliana becomes Edmund's nurse as he loses one of his lower legs in battle against the kingdom of Napoli (lovely play on both Italy and Napoleon there). ![]()
