  • Impossible to read on the train5

    LadyMacB After "Blameless" being such a pleasant surprise, and "Heartless" being the unfortunate second-to-last in a series, I was a little afraid of the possibility that the book wouldn't be able to keep up the high standards set by its predecessors. Impossible as it seemed, this is precisely what happens.

    The major plot point is Alexia's pregnancy, which fits very well with the main plot being a rather small, wrapped-up story that makes "Heartless" a suitable standalone story if you want. With almost all main and minor characters moving closer together, many a secret gets revealed, many a marvelous joke cracked, and all of them experience deeper definition by the author. Especially a revelation about Alexia's father, who stays as mysterious as he started out from the beginning, will have readers by the ends of their nerves immediately.

    On top of the very serious, almost realistic context of (non-) human rights and (in-) tolerance that makes up the strong backbone of this unique series, the humour in "Heartless" tops everything that the first three books have shown or hinted at. In fact, if you haven't chuckled once through the story, at least the showdown will bring you down to your knees. I couldn't keep myself from laughing all the way through the last 100 pages, which made me grateful I wasn't on a train.

    There is a flaw though, and I will not keep it from you. "Heartless" ends with the big bang of a plot twist, right there on the very last page, that will make you itch so heavily for book 5, you may want to wait until February when aforementioned installation will hit the markets. Until then, you could try to track your increase in tea consummation kindled by Miss Carriger. ^.~ by LadyMacB

    Queen of the Quirky5

    Hannah Stewart I adore the world Gail Carriger has created for Alexia Maccon. I have read the books numerous times and have even got my boss reading them! They are a joy to read, quirky and satisfying. My only regret is that I read them too fast, and knowing that Timeless is going to be the last book of the Parasol Protectorate Series. by Hannah Stewart
