One false tale and their happily ever after was over,
Can a shared love of science bring them back together?
This whole series has been adorable romance after adorable romance, and this one was just perfect! π
Lydia wasn't my favorite character when we first met her in "Never Borrow a Baronet". She was super immature when the book first started, but by the end of the story I knew she was a diamond in the rough.
This book proved my hypothesis was correct! She was the sweetest thing, but she never let anyone walk all over her. Even when accusations and nasty words were being thrown at her she held her head high and responded with kindness and a smile.
She had brilliant ideas, in science and in how to deal with people. She definitely grew up a lot from book 2 to book 4. She became sure of her passion and purpose and she gave everything she had to it.
Worth was such an adorable character. He was so oblivious, but like in a "so smart he's not" way. He just made me smile. He preferred science to people, science was unchanging people were unstable. He guarded himself because he didn't want to get hurt again, but it never stopped him from furthering the well being of others.
I loved all of the characters, from the main to the secondary.
I cannot wait for Charlotte's story! π Though I will be sad to see the series end.
I really enjoyed the science aspects, it was interesting to read about the beginning phases of the hot air balloon. Overall I loved the story!
I rated it a 5/5 stars.
