Having read several other Carriger books now, I can say with confidence that I was disappointed in this one. However, I don’t think it’s so much that the book was intrinsically unsatisfactory, as I had high hopes for it, especially since one of my favorite pairings from her previous books was an MM pairing. As always, the world building was very creative, and if you’ve read “The Parasol Protectorate” series, this book is an interesting, and in some ways, unexpected, extension of that, but for whatever reason, the characters, and the romance between them, fell flat for me.
