I missed a lot of the regular characters in the last installment of this supernatural steampunk series set in Queen Victoria's fashion and protocol-obsessed England. The regulars didn't make much of an appearance in Blameless because soulless Lady Alexia Maccon was on the run, but Rove vampire Lord ...
Our favourite urban fantasy heroine is back. Alexia Maccon, La Diva Tarabotti is back in London and heavily pregnant. But she has a bothersome problem - the vampire hives still want her dead because of the child she carries. The constant murder attempts are really quite tiresome and Alexia is left w...
I have immensely enjoyed this fourth book of the Parasol Protectorate series. I think it was better than the third book, actually. It answered some questions that had been left unanswered and it was a titbit more unpredictable regarding the Kingair pack mystery. I have to admit that I did not expect...
*claps slowly* Well played, Ms. Carriger. Well played, indeed. Coming into the penultimate book in the Parasol Protectorate, I was curious to see how, exactly, the supernatural chessboard would be set. And it delights me to say that HOLY CRAP that ending was brilliant. I imagine that Gail Carriger s...
Oh Alexia, what fun you are to read about! Gail Carriger's Parasol Protectorate books are fast becoming one of my favorite series of books. They are just so much fun, I'm not sure where to start.Alexia's escapades aren't slowed down in Heartless by her infant inconvenience, they're just made all the...
Another very enjoyable instalment in the Parasol Protectorate series. I felt while reading it that it was moving slower than the previous books in the series, which does count as a fault. On the other hand she has managed to shed a different light on the events of the previous books and on various c...
I'm listening to the audiobook and have the paperback, which I have not read. So this is first time "reading". I just finished this and what an ending!!!! I'm giving this book 5 stars because I love the series. I also love the humor of the books although I was a little tired of the constant descr...
There are times when Victorian sensibilities delight me, and times when it makes me want to bang the book against something hard. I was ready for some major vampire staking by the end of HEARTLESS, and the politic solution to the issue by no means assuaged my bloodlust. And poor little Prudence, w...
This one was just so much fun to read. After the drama of the previous two books (which did culminate in the action-packed Blameless, my favorite of the series so far), it was nice to have a change of pace. Sure, there are still conspiracies, death threats, and political machinations, but in this on...
2.5 starsI had a hard time getting into this and, unfortunately, there wasn't too much I liked about it. The storyline did absolutely nothing for me and I wasn't as amused by Alexia's antics this time. I really like when Alexia and Connall have a lot of face time together, but they were apart most o...
