The Curious Case of the Werewolf That Wasn't by Gail Carriger

2.0

Well, this was disappointing. I was very excited to get some insight on Alessandro Tarabotti, Alexia's father and a central point in the entire Parasol series, but I despised the character and I don't think this little story served to any purpose in the main series. He really is elitist and is contemptuous towards almost everyone else, as well as supernatural creatures. I wished we got to see a different aspect of his, like when he abandoned the Templars and got involved with the English government - maybe it would serve to humanize him a bit. As it is, it had the total opposite effect and I honestly wish I hadn't read this.
