A review by rankkaapina
Prudence, by Gail Carriger
5.0
I was just supposed to take a short break from thesis writing. But I couldn't put this down... I was a bit hesitant about this book in the beginning as it had really good reviews, but also a lot of people seemed to be disappointed in it. Well, I wasn't.
It wasn't Parasol Protectorate, but I think I might've been disappointed if it was. Rue is not Alexia, but I can see how she's the person she is growing up with Lord Akeldama and her biological parents. I love the friendship between her and Prim. And the werelioness! She's amazing. And Quesnel and Percy are not bad either. I can't wait for the next book! Although I think the last installment of the Finishing School series is upon us first.
I just love Gail Carriger's writing. And I love that the series are contained and not endlessly continuing, which usually just make them boring to me at some point. It's good to introduce new characters. And even though Parasol Protectorate and Finishing School books involve some of the same characters, the protagonists are definitely different, so the tone of the books is different.
