Curtsies & Conspiracies by Gail Carriger
4.0
I always feel I need to justify my love of silly books like this, but I am not going to anymore. These are fun escapism and I read enough that isn't to deserve this once in a while. Or... a little more often.
I love Sophronia and Dimity. Not only are they incredibly entertaining, but we get some back story on the Soulless series and Alexa Tarabotti and her England. Carriger deftly inserts and mentions people that become very important later. First to Alexa and then to Prudence. That's part of the thrill of these series. Soulless was first and was used to set up this amazing steampunk/ paranormal reality, followed by this series and then Prudence's own. They all tie in but also serve and terrific independent tales. All that's required is a bit of disbelief suspension and a spirit of fun.
I can't wait to see what Sophronia and the sooties get up to next!
