A Duke by Any Other Name
Grace Burrowes
3/5
Lady Althea wasn't always a lady, as a child she was a beggar with a father who really was the scum of the earth. This is the fourth book in a series that I didn't read, there's a lot of information about the family in the other books but I understood everything perfectly well coming in on number four.
I didn't like how long this book was considering the resolution. There wasn't a real conflict or a real villain here, the problem was hyped up to be a lot more than it apparently was. It feels like they either gave Robert's mental predicament too much credit or not enough. I know it was suggested that there would be problems in the future and there's a sequel coming out it just felt like we spent three hundred pages dwelling on this and then he just got over it.
I loved Althea as a character, she was so interesting and strong and just amazing. Nathaniel was okay, he was cool but they tried to play up the dark edgy guy too much and he wasn't all that mysterious. It was an interesting read, but nothing all that special happened. It was entirely predictable, in a fun way, but really just a read if you're trying to get out of a lull.
