I read and reviewed the two volumes collected here separately, so this is basically just for my own records. The rating is an average of the individual ratings - I gave Heartless 2.5 stars, rounding up to 3 - it's my least favourite of the entire series, being a little too flippant overall. Timeless, on the other hand, got 3 stars. Honestly, I had my doubts that introducing a baby into the cast of characters would improve things, as it so rarely does, but the advantages of having a soulless protagonist, I suppose, is that Alexia's far less sentimental about things than the average heroine, so little Prudence is kept fairly subordinate within the narrative. Frankly, the best part about her is that she's largely being raised by Lord Akeldama instead of her biological parents, so the supernatural shenanigans are still front and centre. Given that's one of the most entertaining parts of this series for me, I was glad to see it unchanged.

The Parasol Protectorate series is a positively wonderful steampunk read. It has everything you could hope for from a book in this genre – action, mystery, humour, romance, and more. It keeps you addicted throughout, each book leaving you curious as to what will come next.
It’s one of those easy read series. None of the books can be considered heavy, each being a light read. They’re great for when you want a break from books requiring lots of attention.
Without a doubt, one of the most addictive series I’ve read in a long time. Well worth the read for fans of steampunk.

I was cautioned against reading this series out of order, but this later entry definitely encouraged me to try the rest of the series (in order, this time).

I loved this series more than I thought I would and I'm actually sad that it's over. Everyone should read these. Seriously.
