I love Bec McMaster. I also love Steampunk. Bec puts Steampunk and romance together very well. This is the 5th book in a series and I am binge reading them.
Yes! What a finish for the series. The original steampunk London books were good, but this spin-off is awesome. And of cos the best couple was left for last.
I also read Dukes Are Forever by Bec McMaster, a London steampunk book about a Duke (kind of a vampire) that leads a group of spies trying to protect the queen. His wife, Adele tricked him into marriage so the story involves their reconciliation. I saw it mentioned by a number of people as their favorite book so far this year. I liked it enough that I might read more in the series. I just wish my library had them.

A great end to the series. I was really curious how the author was going to reconcile Adele and Malloryn's relationship since it started off so bad.

This whole series is fun, pulpy steampunk vampire bollocks, and all the better because the alt-history actually makes sense, given how the "craving virus" works: the upper classes are literal blood-sucking parasites. Which I'm into.
Anyway, I listened to this working on some home improvement nonsense, and Dukes Are Forever definitely sticks the landing of the whole series. I mean, yeah, the romantic plot with Malloryn and Adele is a little over-determined, but a whole lot of people get to have their Boss Fights, and in satisfying ways.

This book didn't not disappoint. I was beyond pleased to get an inside look into The Duke of Malloryn and the chemistry between him and Adele was off the charts. I do agree with another reviewer that Balfour's end was a bit anticlimactic but that's partly due to me not wanting this series to end. I've loved almost every book in this series and could see myself venturing into the author's other pieces of work. Farewell, London, for now.
