Another refreshing and unexpected tale in the Parasol Protectorate series... and I loved it! (Warning: you shouldn't read these books if you take yourself too seriously). I enjoy this series so much; these books actually give my brain a rest after reading books that find themselves overly intellectual! But with that said, it does take a certain amount of intellectualism to appreciate the humor! The characters and story were witty, sassy and unique as ever. But the ending, oh my, the ending, it's terrible. Not in the badly written, not interesting way, but in the heart-wrenching, "that didn't really just happen" kind of way. I was very surprised that these funny and quirky books could end with such sorrowful and stressful emotions for me. Bravo Miss Carriger! I'm running to my bookshelf right now to grab and read the graphic novel version.....
