Soulless: The Manga, Vol. 3 by Gail Carriger
5.0
Ahhhh, what a spiffing conclusion to a truly sumptuous steampunk tale!
This volume was tense and hilarious in equal measure. Although, we don't get half as much as Lord Maccon as I would have liked, we do have Lady Maccon, Madame Lefoux, Floote (love that name) and plenty of Professor Lyall (he is very dreamy!)
Having been turned out by a very headstrong Lord Maccon for apparently "cavorting with others", a pregnant Lady Maccon makes an action-packed journey to Italy where she comes to reside with the Templars (who are not very nice people at all).
The central storyline in this volume concerns what Lady Maccon will have (a soul-stealer aka preternatual or a supernatural baby), or perhaps, it might even be normal. My only gripe is that we never do find out what she does have because it ends with her and Lord Maccon fornicating in a barn of some sort...not that I'm complaining on that score.
Soulless: The Manga has turned out to be an unexpectedly delightful and witty read full of vampires, werewolves, preternaturals and naughtiness. Lots of naughtiness! I have loved the dialogue, the illustrations and most of all, the characters.
I would definitely recommend the manga series to others especially those (like myself) who tried to read the novels and for some reason, just couldn't get into them. You don't have to miss out on the fun, just grab your parasol and your skirts and embrace the chaos!
