Competence by Gail Carriger
5.0
This is both classic Gail Carriger and also something entirely new. I was pretty skeptical about a book partially from Percy's point of view, because I wasn't really interested in learning more about him. But I ended up enjoying his parts as much as Primrose.
I generally HATE when pregnancy is part of a plot, but one thing I love about Carriger is the idea that birth parents don't have any special meaning or significance to a child. Rue's relationship with all three of her parents set the stage for this nice little family because its obvious to everyone that Rue is not interested or equipped to be a parent herself.
Overall, one of my favorite Carrigers.
