Defy or Defend by Gail Carriger
5.0
This book is a goddamn delight and exactly what I needed in this time of COVID-19 hell. So good I read it twice, because it made me happy. Fluffy, witty, and funny, Defy or Defend transported to Nottingham for a delightful romp around a moody vampire hive with Dimity and Cris. There are a few old faces for those familiar with the Parasolverse, but nothing non-series readers wouldn't understand. There are plenty of new characters, too, which worm their way into your hearts. I already have a new favorite. :)
If you're new to Gail Carriger's work but are intimidated by the expansive world and multiple series, this is a great novella to dip your toes into the world building, writing style, and humor type to see if Carriger's books are right for you!
