HTML:Quitting her husband's house and moving back in with her horrible family, Lady Maccon becomes the scandal of the London season in the third book of the NYT bestselling Parasol Protectorate series. Queen Victoria dismisses her from the Shadow Council, and the only person who can explain anything, Lord Akeldama, unexpectedly leaves town. To top it all off, Alexia is attacked by homicidal mechanical ladybugs, indicating, as only ladybugs can, the fact that all of London's vampires are now very much interested in seeing Alexia quite thoroughly dead. While Lord Maccon elects to get progressively more inebriated and Professor Lyall desperately tries to hold the Woolsey werewolf pack together, Alexia flees England for Italy in search of the mysterious Templars. Only they know enough about the preternatural to explain her increasingly inconvenient condition, but they may be worse than the vampires â?? and they're armed with pesto. Blameless is the third book of the Parasol Protectorate series: a comedy of manners set in Victorian London, full of werewolves, vampires, dirigibles, and tea-drinki… (más)
lquilter: Without knowing, I'd imagine that Gail Carriger had read Elizabeth Peters' Amelia Peabody series (beginning with Crocodile on the Sandbank) before writing Blameless (et seq). Similar era, similarly cranky and forthright spinster protagonist, similar sort of love affair, similar witty dialog and observations. The Amelia Peabody books are, of course, "straight" historical mystery, without the steampunk elements of Carriger's series, but I imagine that Carriger fans who read out-of-genre also will enjoy the Peters' series. Similarly, Peters fans who like SF, steampunk, or vampires/werewolves, might enjoy the Carriger series.… (más)
Abandonar la casa de su marido y volver a vivir con su horrible familia… ¡Lady Maccon es el escándalo de la temporada en Londres! La Reina Victoria la ha echado del Consejo en la Sombra y la única persona que podrÃa ofrecerle algún tipo de explicación, Lord Akeldama, desaparece de la ciudad inesperadamente. Para colmo, Alexia es atacada por una serie de bichos mecánicos homicidas, lo que indica claramente, como solo unos bichos semejantes pueden hacerlo, que los vampiros de Londres están muy interesados en ver a Alexia muerta. Mientras lord Maccon elige permanecer en un estado cada vez más ebrio y el profesor Lyall intenta por todos los medios mantener la manada de Woolsey unida, Alexia huye de Inglaterra para buscar refugio en Italia, en busca de los Templarios. Ellos son los únicos que saben lo suficiente sobre los preternaturales para explicar su cada vez más incómoda condición, pero los Templarios pueden ser todavÃa peor que los vampiros… ¡y además van armados con salsa pesto!
This book really wouldn't have happened without Kristin, Devi, and Francesca. No, really, you'd be reading a big fat collection of blank pages right now. Thanks, ladies, I owe you all wine and cheese! Lots of cheese. And a million hugs to J. Daniel Sawyer, who was more helpful, more often, than he realized.
