A review by darcerenity
The Omega Objection by Gail Carriger, G.L. Carriger
4.0
The prose in this novel is as deliciously snug as the exact right style of skin tight jeans.
The language is blue, but well-fitted to the characters in question, the humor even more so. The humor is sharp and quirky and balances out the pathos of some of the back stories quite beautifully.
The characters are realistically drawn and likeable so that you feel genuinely invested in their journey toward a place of acceptance and belonging, discovering the ways they fit together as a couple, as part of a larger social family, and simply as themselves.
The themes (yes, themes. Even in a very steamy romance novel!) are handled with a deft and delicate touch, like a steel filigree that is surprisingly beautiful as well as strong.
I am amazed by this series in general, and this book in particular made me cry--but in that good way that is so rare and so special in works of art.
A must read for lovers of romance, hot sex, social comedy, and incredible writing.
