A quick peek at the father of Souless main character Alexia, who has already died when the Soulless series begins.

This time I was like a cast reading and it was still horrible. The voices weren't even the same sound level. I love Gail carriages but will have to read it myself

I loved the Parasol Protectorate series and was sad to read the last book. When I saw this little prequel story was available I was excited to revisit the world that Carriger had created. Sadly, I just did NOT like Alessandro Tarrabotti. The fussy, prissy things I found so interesting and amusing in his daughter just seemed like affectation here. He was also ruthless, which was not what I was expecting.

I wish Carriger had written a prequel that was more about Floote. Now him I like!
