Blameless by Gail Carriger
4.0
Another enjoyable read although not as good as the previous two books.
Let's start with what I liked: Alexia as the main character, the intrigue surrounding her father, Floote and Genevieve being badasses, Lord Akeldama and Biffy, the ladybugs, & Randolph Lyall being exasperated yet endlessly competent.
What I didn't enjoy so much: the Templars' strange relationship with the soulless that didn't make sense to me, Conall's first reaction to the baby seeming more like a plot device than an actual realistic reaction, Queen Victoria's immediate disavowal, the lack of groveling on Conall's part, & the abrupt ending.
Personally, I wouldn't be quick to trust anyone again after their complete abandonment. It seemed like a huge emotional punch but without the satisfying resolution. I'm still looking forward to the next book because I adore Alexia, but I hope Conall's apologies aren't finished.
