Romancing the Inventor by Gail Carriger
5.0
Absolutely perfect! Madame Lefoux (or Vieve) has always been a favourite character of mine, so I was thrilled when I found out about this series. Romancing the Inventor is everything I could have ever wanted from Carriger. <3
Despite being queer myself, I seldom read lgbt+ romances (too much tragedy, usually). It was refreshing to see a lesbian romance that didn't rely on tired tropes. Plus a happy ending is always welcome, in my opinion.
Even with the short length of the book, Imogene is a well developed character who has some seriously strong chemistry with Vieve. The pairing seems completely natural and I wish I could read more about them.
Although Imogene is a bit more delicate than Carriger's usual leading ladies, I feel like that gave us more insight into Carriger's world. We get to see familiar faces through a different perspective and I felt like that gave me a new appreciation of certain characters. Who knew that Channing could be so nice?
Oh & did we get a confirmation of Alexia's bisexuality? I mean, it's been hinted at before, but more visibility is always welcome.
Overall, I am loving these novellas so far. Can't wait for more of them!
