The Parasol Protectorate is a witty, exciting paranormal Steampunk adventure series. The characters are engaging and the world fully-realized. The chemistry between Alexia and Conall is tangible, and Lyall and Akeldama are strong enough secondary characters to support their own series. Moving on to book the fourth!

Very interesting. Very English.

Gail Carriger blends audacity and humor seamlessly in Alexia's third novel. Reading this book was like a refreshing holiday with dear, but seldom seen, friends. The story kept my attention the entire way through. Brava Ms. Carriger, for another bright and humorous tale.
