Description
Gail Carriger’s Heartless
Gail Carriger’s Heartless, the fourth installment in the Parasol Protectorate series, is a delightful blend of steampunk, supernatural intrigue, and sharp wit. Lady Alexia Maccon, our formidable heroine, navigates London society with her signature parasol and unflappable demeanour while heavily pregnant and facing yet another dire supernatural threat. When a ghost delivers a cryptic warning about an assassination plot against Queen Victoria, Alexia dives headfirst into danger, armed with her intelligence, humour, and a very practical approach to problem-solving.
Carriger’s world-building shines in Heartless, with mechanical contraptions, eccentric vampires, and dashing werewolves seamlessly woven into a richly textured Victorian setting. The dialogue sparkles with clever banter, and the characters, both main and supporting, are endlessly charming and quirky. Readers who love strong, independent heroines, snarky humour, and a touch of romance amidst supernatural chaos will find Heartless an absolute treat.
If you’re looking for a book that offers adventure, clever social satire, and impeccably dressed supernatural beings, this novel is a must-read. Plus, Alexia’s no-nonsense attitude and Carriger’s delightful prose make every page a joy. Perfect for fans of historical fantasy and anyone who appreciates a heroine who can save the day without wrinkling her bustle.
