Actual image the main couple.
Not going to lie, the first one was better but that was expected now that they are married.
I love that they didn't lose their dynamic. They still fight a lot and I love it.
Ivy was the most annoying character ever in this book. I really wanted to hit her in the face.
That ending really suprise me. I was expecting the suprise just not the reaction. At first it was funny but when it got worst, it was not funny anymore.
Looking forward to more drama in the next book!

I was a weeny bit bored up until the last 1/3-1/4 of the book then it got better and the end was very "whhhhhhaaaaaaat?!"
I liked this one better than the last one. While there was still too much about the clothing, and too much kissy-time, it wasn't as bad as the last one. I like the world (and this book goes to Scotland, yay!) and I thought it was kind of fun.
Except...it ends on a cliffhanger. Argh!

Enjoyed it almost but not quite as much as Soulless. The steam punk technology is starting to take over just a bit and the open ending was just a hair unsatisfying, even if it did lead me to run right out and get the next book to see what happened. Carriger has a terrific wit and a respect for her subject matter; she can play with all the conventions without the end result feeling too gimmicky.
Enjoyed it but docked a star for the very end... Not super crazy about cliffhangers anyway and this one just irked me. Taking a break before continuing the series.
This book is delightful and moves along at a quick pace. The characters are interesting and very funny.
Another fun read by Gail Carriger. Lady Maccon realizes something is wrong when the supernatural beings lose their powers- and not from coming into contact with her preternatural powers. Alexia's search soon leads her to Scotland, and someone is trying to stop her along the way.
The book is great for light reading. I'm into gadgets myself, but I still found myself glazing over a bit when she describes all the gadgets in detail. Other than that, I enjoyed it.

Another rollicking good time in Carriger's truly delightful world. Alexia isn't my favorite of her heroines, but I can always appreciate how tongue in cheek every moment of humor is. And I loved getting to reunite with Madame LeFou!
I found this difficult to get into and boring until the last 15-20%. A lot of the elements that made me love the first book were missing.
That ending though... D':

Now, this was more what I was expecting! Intrigue, fashion, dirigibles! There was quite a bit less lovey-doveyness, but now that they are married I don't think I mind it as much! As to the story, it was fun to explore Lord Maccon's past and see how a wolf pack operates and to deepen the mystery of Alexia's own nature. Quite fun. I also quite enjoyed Madame Lefoux.
The ending, oddly, did actually surprise me. I didn't expect her husband to be such a dolt.
Also of note was my distaste for the mummy unwrapping party that occurs mid-story. I know it is historically accurate, but I can't help but be appalled by the desecration of human remains in this way. I guess Caitlin Doughty has really gotten into my head.
