![]() I just knew that Alexia was going to be bags of fun - and she was. Her forthright character is refreshingly at odds with the rather snivelling wallflowers of the era. Miss Tarabotti fairly bounces (in a ladylike fashion, of course) onto the page. The heroine, Alexia Tarabotti is a force to be reckoned with and she doesn't suffer fools gladly HEARTLESS In My Opinion Alexia’s Got Soul and Carriger’s In the Goove (: A delicious and razor-sharp, witty tale of werewolves and vampires in Victorian times.Audiobook Hoarder’s Selection (29): Soulless (Parasol Protectorate, #1) by Gail Carriger ().The Verdict: Soulless – Gail Carriger ().I can’t wait to check it out! (Literally of course.) Related articles ![]() Also, I’m aware there is a manga of this series and I have it on hold at the library already. Enjoy some other images that didn’t make the cut this time around. Thank you for taking the time to read this, If you’re thinking about buying the book then check out other reviews. ![]() All in all a great book that I highly recommend!Īs always all opinions and views noted above are my own. Honestly, I would love to live in this world that Carriger has created. Carriger carries on a great storyline, alternative history that makes sense and is backed by a large amount of research, as well as believable characters. Carriger also takes a great interest in describing era based clothing, class system, vehicles, and cutting edge science of the time. The characters are multi-dimensional and no two are the same. The romance aspect, is also which pushes this novel from upper young adult to that of adult, so be a bit weary of that. The romance is a large part of this novel, as much as any other part, and would not be what it was without it. This story has a fun plot that is constantly being pushed forward full of mystery, suspense, adventure, and romance. It often reminded me of that Southern Woman lines meme that have been running rapid recently. The language of the novel is playful and full of wit and english language, that which derives from England. Alexia always has her handy dandy parasol at the ready for any unfortunate accidents, which as a supernatural herself, seem to be drawn to her on a regular basis. She has some interesting acquaintances including two werewolves and a rove vampire friend. The first installment of this series is Soulless which follows the main female lead, Alexia Tarabotti, on her adventures in high London society as a spinster. I’ve asked myself a dozen times which it has taken me so long to find this delightful novel seeing my love of steampunk, supernatural, romance, and woman with wit! Well, none-the-less, the series now lies upon my bed side table where I am eating them up like tea cakes! Wodehouse.” Number two being the tagline on the front of the book: “A novel of vampires, werewolves, and parasols” which is the one that got me at the book store. Only topped by two other taglines, number one being this: “ Soulless is a character-driven romp with great worldbuilding and delicious rapier wit that recalls Austen and P.G. If I had to tag line it (which I did in fact for my local libraries summer reviews) I would say: “A fun and delightful read of a woman with astounding manners and a great sense of the sensible.” A bit silly, believe me I know, but I feel like it describes it quite well. Shall I begin to talk about this book? Well let me say I love, love, LOVED it! It was fantastic and what an amazing read after the Rising.
