5 Nuts. *flails, sobbing* It’s over! I can’t believe it’s over. My god, what a ride. I won’t even hesitate to say that this is one of the best series I have ever read. Really and truly. The Parasol Protectorate is just plain FUN, there’s nothing else I could call it. I have thoroughly enjoyed […]
5 Nuts Lawd, Miss Carriger is the queen of the perfect urban steampunk fantasy romp. I have never read a more consistently good author in all of the time I’ve been reviewing books. Not once have I been disappointed in one of the Parasolverse books, and the Parasol Protectorate in particular are always top notch […]
4 Nuts Ooooh giiiiirrrrl , get you some Scottish soldier. I’m going to only say this once: POISON AND PROTECT is NOT a YA novel. Yes it is about Presha from FINISHING SCHOOL. Yes the cover sort of looks like those. NO it is not for teens (unless they are at a point where they […]
4.5 Nuts LORD MACCON, YOU FRUSTRATING BERK OF A MAN, YOU APOLOGIZE TO YOUR WIFE THIS INSTANT! That’s pretty much the main thought that sat in my brain as I listened to the insufferable werewolf alpha pine away after his own idiocy caused the problem. Blasted men and their blasted pride. BLAMELESS “splits the party” […]
5 Nuts *sniffs* Is someone slicing onions in here? No of course I’m not crying! That’s preposterous! God this book ends with some feels. But its not just the ending that made me give this book 5 nuts. No, it’s the mystery of it, along with the addition of one of my favorite FINISHING SCHOOL […]
4 Nuts And here is the point I became ride or die for Miss Carriger. I love THE FINISHING SCHOOL series and Moira Quirk is a fabulous narrator, but Emily Gray’s performances for PARASOL PROTECTORATE are really spectacular. But it’s not just narrator that makes SOULLESS so good. Gail Carriger absolutely knows what she is […]
4 Nuts This rating is based purely on the story, not on the audio performance I had the misfortune of listening to. A note of interest, skip the Carriger Quartet audio set, the voice acting is god awful and the reading much too fast. But back to the matter at hand, the story itself. The […]
YAAASSS 5 Nuts! Okay, no question, book 4 beats out all the rest for best book in the series! Be it subtle references to other books in the “-verse” (what’s up Prof Lyle, I see you hanging out with our campy vamp friend!) or events we’ve wanted to see all series long, M&M has it […]
4 Nuts Once more, unto the dirigible! Though, oddly most of this book takes place on a train of all things! While not my favorite book in the series, WAISTCOATS AND WEAPONRY is one hell of a wild ride. If you want drama, this is your book. W&W has more twists and turns than a […]
5 Nuts So here we are again, back in the Parasol-verse. Since I marathoned the audios I figured I should do the same with the reviews! Book 2 in the Finishing School Series picks up a year or so after the first and is perhaps even better. This may have a bit to do with […]
