I guess these short stories would be served better after reading the original books. Jumping back into the respective Bridgerton marriages after a few years away was not unlike seeing your old band-mates on the street, after 10-years. A couple of these stories were forgetable. A couple will make you LOL (the Mallet of Death, anyone?). And the remaining four allow JQ to explore different techniques, with mixed results. The best part was the short novella about Violet's sourtship and marriage, with a nice wrapup of all the main story lines.
About half of the stories were already published a few years ago, as e-editions. So only four of the siblings were new.
Newcomers might appreciate the basic plots and situation - although veterns will laugh more often. But these are better reads if you know the personalities involved.
So the 3.5 stars is mainly for Violet's story, and the 5 stories I thought held up well in this stand-alone context.
