Romancing the Inventor by Gail Carriger
4.0
I enjoyed this novella by Gail Carriger a lot more than I enjoyed her previous one, but that was probably largely because I care a lot about Madame Lefoux and was really happy to finally see her get her happy ending.
Even though Genevieve was my main draw to this story, I really ended up liking Imogene as a character too. It made me more conscious of the fact that stories set in settings and times like these often focus on the upper classes, while the lower classes are largely background characters. In this story, Carriger depicted a lower class life very well without making Imogene's story only about that. She didn't know how to read, but she was still good with numbers and smart in other ways.
All in all, another lovely addition to this awesome universe. I can't wait to see what comes next.
