Blameless by Gail Carriger

5.0

There’s no such thing as fate—there’s just werewolves, and there’s no such thing as coincidence—there’s just vampires. Everything else is open to interpretation.

I seem to always forget just how much pure fun these books are. The Parasole Protectorate series is just so witty and smart and great, and the aventures on which Alexia Tarabotti goes through in this volume are not any less spectacular. While pretty slow at times, I feel like this third and middle book cemented a lot of relationships and characters' identity in the mind of the reader, and remained entertaining even if it did not have a quite as heavy or interesting plot as the former books.

It had all the elements to gain my love though: lots of puns, lovely characters and tea. And I'm so pumped to see where this story goes from now on, especially since this volume felt a lot as a turning point and propulsing force for an explosive ending!

The bottom line is: I never had more fun reading anything ever. Gail Carriger manages to deliver just great entertainment with each and every one of her books.

“Shouldn’t you be worrying about your own problems?” “What enjoyment is there in that? Other people’s are always far more entertaining.”
