Blameless by Gail Carriger

While this book didn’t live up to Soulless, it was better than Changeless. I feel like this says a lot but Changeless was really good until the last five pages or so. (sorry I’m saying this again but I’m still not over it.)
I liked that there was more action. I liked that Alexia’s views on life and herself didn’t change because of the baby but I also liked that she was emotional. Well, as emotional as Alexia can get. She cried and was upset about what happened with Conall but she was still practical and independent.
As usual I loved all the side characters. Madame Lefoux was hilarious and charming but still a bit mysterious. I also hold that Floote is still by far my favorite character in the series.
The plot was better this time and I definitely liked this ending more than the last one. I can’t really complain about much.
Then why only a four folded page review you ask??
That’s because something just felt kind of off for me. I liked the plot more. I liked that Alexia had more action but it also felt slow. Overall the characters were still mostly themselves but I think some of the characters had minor out-of-character (OOC) moments mostly stemmed from the OOC moments in Changeless and I didn’t enjoy that.
For me, this is a solid installment in the series but so far none of the sequels quite live up to Soulless.
