Margaret's Reviews > Blameless

The Parasol Protectorate gets even better in the third book Blameless when Alexia is cast out of her home by her husband protesting that as a werewolf, he could not have fathered her child and demanding that she immediately provide the name of the man who got her pregnant. (Quite obviously, that man was her own husband!)

So, Alexia and her companions are off to The Continent visiting France and Italy. Really cool change of scene.

The vampires continue their near-constant efforts to kill Alexia, fearing her child and wanting to see Alexia dead as the quickest and easiest solution. (Really, attempts on Alexia's life have been made nonstop since book one and book three is no exception. The vampires appear utterly terrified.)

More travel by steampunk dirigible and more long-distance communication by another cool steampunk device the "aethographor" (introduced by at least book two Changeless) which is like a long-distance wireless telegraph and also sends one character at a time.

And, of course, another comedy of Victorian manners which should appeal to all Georgette Heyer fans especially for the "arranged marriages, murder, fashion, upper classes, sarcasm and humour" [Fantastic Fiction listing for Georgette Heyer] which applies to Gail Carriger as well!.

Highly recommended to all urban fantasy fans, paranormal alternate history fans, Georgette Heyer fans, series fans, and Gail Carriger fans!
