The Parasol Protectorate: Soulless, Blameless, And Changeless (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
Make no mistake; these are bad, but they are also funny.I read all five books in the Parasol Protectorate series over the course of about a week and a half. The premise is ridiculous; steampunk British (and a minority of French, Italian, Prussian, and Egyptian) vampires, werewolves, ghosts, creepy religious brothers, and a few additional newly made up paranormals, all caught up in national & international intrigues, ludicrous romances, and maybe some slash, why not? Also Queen Victoria, amateur theatricals, and amazingly awful hats! I liked the first book the best, and the second the least. I'm not going to rush out to get the next installment, but I will eventually read more. Here are some reasons I have to keep reading this series, other than that I enjoy the author's sense of the ridiculous.What will happen to Biffy?How will Lord Akeldama react to his new circumstances?What will happen to the hat shop?Will Alexia's sisters ever get married?What is Floote hiding?I'm sure I'll come up with other reasons.
What do You think about The Parasol Protectorate: Soulless, Blameless, And Changeless (2011)?
Instead of rating each book, the series will be enough. Fast, funny reads.
