Splendid is not one of Julia Quinn's best works, neither is it one of her recent books. It isn't near as awesome as The Duke and I, but one can see Julia Quinn's enormous talent and promise in this, her early work.But I enjoyed Splendid it was cute, and fluffy, and just absolutely adorable.

Can def tell this is the author's first book. Just read "Ten Things I Love About You" and can (gladly) tell the maturation of Julia Quinn. In bits and parts I could feel the beginnings of the usual Julia Quinn humor emerging, i.e. Bridgerton series. Surface writing, not connected, and because of t...
Alright, here we go again, right?"Splendid" is quite a nice Regency Novel. It's definitely 'fluff' and very easy to read, and if you have a few hours and just want to be entertained, it will be a good book for the moment.General comments:1. Characters. The Characters were alright. Emma was a great ...
Eu sou suspeitíssima para falar de Julia Quinn, pois ela é uma de minhas autoras favoritas, devido ao seu estilo leve, romântico e muito bem humorado de escrever seus livros. Splendid foi o seu primeiro livro escrito, por isso eu pensei que ele seria bem bobinho e mal escrito. Engano meu, graças a D...
The thing which attracted me to this book was the title ‘Splendid’ and the author Julia Quinn. But I can say this is definably not one of my favorite book from her. I felt that the violet-eyed-Heroin Emma was too daring to be in that era and the green-eyed-hero Alex was too confusing at times. Even...
Julia Quinn's first book has all of the things I love about her books. There are charming characters, witty dialogue, strong families and fun situations. Emma & Alex are easy to like apart and they are a charming couple. Their courtship is great fun. However, as a first book there are also some ...
This is Julia Quinn's first novel and you can tell. She's a great writer, even here in the first book, but because I've read all of her later stuff, I can tell that she hasn't hit her trademarks yet. There is humor and wit and amazing romance but I felt that the heroes were sort of .... grumpy and p...
I'm a big Julia Quinn fan. This was her first novel ever, and I have to say that it shows in the writing. Not to say that the story itself wasn't really good, but not much can come close to her Bridgertons. The writing had a few plotholes and a lot of melodrama, and a few repetitively annoying b...
This historical romance got off to a good start, had an exciting finish and a nice development of the relationship but it moved slow in the middle with the common plot of a hero who is never getting married. I skimmed the second half. Disguised as a maid, heiress Emma saves a boy who is nephew of ...
