Blameless picks up almost immediately after the previous book's cliffhanger ending. There's not much external drama in this book -- most of what comes up is directly due to Alexia's situation. I like how she has to slowly come to terms with it instead of automatically accepting it.
The book's a fun little romp through two European countries, has lots of fantastical steampunkish gadgets, and best of all, has some logical (to the world in the book) explanations of things that happen. I was disappointed that we didn't get a better glimpse into Floote's mysterious past, but I assume from hints that it's to come in the next book.
The best part about this third book in the series is I think it only mentioned Alexia's ample bosom a few times instead of in every chapter like the previous books.

A mix
I really enjoyed this story, it was fast-paced, I was happy to get to know the characters a bit more, the story itself was interesting and orginal. I liked it more than the 2nd book, and it was as funny and witty as the other 2.
Still more fun from Carriger! Really loved the character development in this one. Alexia's description of the Templars just cracked me up.
Pra falar a verdade esse livro foi mais fraco que os outros, porque não tem realmente um mistério a ser resolvido. Quer dizer, o único mistério não está diretamente envolvido com a Alexia, e por isso as partes dela na Itália foram basicamente bem chatas, enquanto as partes do professor Lyall em Londres foram SENSACIONAIS e é por causa dessas partes que eu não abaixo a nota do livro. Continuo adorando a Alexia e o Connal e tals, mas no momento eu poderia ler um livro inteiro só do Biffy e o Lord Akeldama e a *situação* que eles vão ter que superar. Espero que o livro 4 dê atenção o suficiente para esse assunto. Mas minhas preocupações do fim do 2 foram resolvidas, então ler o 4 não é mais prioridade.
A very fun series featuring a mix of Victorian manners, steampunk science, with werewolves and vampires mixed in.
I love this series! The mix of Victorian era dialogue and attire and the paranormal elements makes this such a refreshing read.
I remember finishing [b:Changeless|6933876|Changeless (The Parasol Protectorate, #2)|Gail Carriger|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1283185880s/6933876.jpg|7165488] and wanting [b:Blameless|7719355|Blameless (The Parasol Protectorate, #3)|Gail Carriger|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1283185879s/7719355.jpg|10463674] right away! The cliffhanger of Changeless was almost too much but knowing that Blameless would be out soon made it bearable. But now we have to wait until July of 2011 for [b:Heartless|8356487|Heartless (The Parasol Protectorate, #4)|Gail Carriger|http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg|13210545] and I want to scream!
So much happens in Changeless and Blameless that it's nearly impossible to speak about without disclosing some spoilers. Since I'm adamant about not including any spoilers in my reviews, just take my word on this one: Blameless is a must read after Changeless.
If you haven't read this series yet, I highly recommend you give it a shot. I promise you most likely will not be disappointed.
