Real quick: I enjoyed this more than the first in the series on all levels. I was using this as brain bleach and I ended up with a good solid, fun read.
This review was originally posted on Bookish Things & MoreI think this one may be one of my favorite in the series. We get to visit Scotland, and see a family face from the Finishing School series. We also see how Alexia interacts with her sister. And let’s just say for the record that I don’t li...
The combination of Victorian manners and the more "radical" attitudes of characters like Alexia and Lord Akeldama make for a perfect mix of humor and adventure in The Parasol Protectorate series. This second installment is just as entertaining as the first and has wit for days. A plague of humanizat...
It's the first book I've finished in 2016 and I'm quite happy this was it (that is, as long as the second book I finish is Blameless). Look what you've done, Gail Carriger, I am in quite a state. "Ivy waved the wet handkerchief, as much as to say, words cannot possibly articulate my profound di...
2nd book in the Parasol Protectorate series and it was even more fun than the first one! We meet a bunch of new friends and learn more about Conall's background and indeed more about the workings of a werewolf pack. Rollicking. :) That's how I would describe this tale. I find myself laughing...

I had two options to start this post with: Ivy waved the wet handkerchief, as much as to say, words cannot possibly articulate my profound distress. Then, because Ivy never settled for meaningful gestures when verbal embellishments could compound the effect, she said, "Words cannot possibly articula...
This is a re-read, but on audio. My original review is here, although it's very, very short. The only thing I'll add to it is to say that Emily Gray turns a very good book into an outstanding story with her narration. Truly, the books are better in audio than they are in print.
This was a wonderful second installment in the “Parasol Protectorate” series. Carriger continues to impress with her wonderfully well-developed cast of characters and fantastic world building.Since I read Carriger’s companion series, “Finishing School” previously, I was so excited to see cameos of s...
