Changeless by Gail Carriger
4.0
Alexia goes to Scotland! The characters stay the same charming ones as in the first book, the world-building deepens, and there is a nice mystery to explore. Once again the steampunk is kept firmly in the background as opposed to plot device.
I enjoy the dialogue, the internal observations of our heroine, and the skill at which the author not only tells, but also shows. The relationship between Alexia and her husband still seems real and well-drawn. I was a bit disappointed by the mystery but then again, Changeless is to be found on the Fantasy bookshelves and not the Mystery / Thriller ones.
All in all, a strong follow up to the first book and keeps the reader involved enough to move straight into the third. As I did.
