Changeless by Gail Carriger
4.0
Holy cow, I certainly didn’t remember the first book being so entertaining! But I suppose my memory is just a tad off, because CHANGELESS was a wonderfully entertaining romp that had me laughing throughout—in the moments that I could tear my eyes away from the page, that is.
Overly pragmatic Lady Maccon and the lovably gruff and domineering Conall Maccon make for an utterly charming couple. From their bedroom antics (don’t worry: it’s all PG-13!) to their sleuthing, it’s difficult to find a more unlikely—and thus all the more endearing—paranormal couple.
Gail Carriger’s writing, of course, is on Austenian levels. Like, if Jane Austen were to write steampunk/paranormal fare, it would probably sound exactly like this, with all the ridiculous characters and outrageous societal twists. Carriger has a way of writing scenes so that she doesn’t come right out and say what the characters meant, but gives us ever-so-obvious hints that combine charactorial humor with narrative humor for double the entertainment!
