Alexia is off to Italy!With an old friend and a friend made in the previous book, Alexia decides to flee England to find answers to her predicament. This is the first in the series that I wavered between a 3 and a 4. Part of the joy of this series is Alexia and Conall's interactions and they are separated for the vast majority of the story. On the other hand, it allowed the fleshing out of some secondary characters to great benefit. I decided to go with four because a lot of interesting things happen, Alexia is still Alexia, and the settings are drawn that I can easily imagine the experience.A stronger B plotline, relating to the A plotline, dovetails nicely and sets up future conflict in a way that is wholly consistent with the world our characters inhabit. I appreciated learning more about the politics of the various factions, and while the world-building continued in its complexity, I am not seeing it coming together in a cohesive whole just yet.Time to give this series a bit of a break as I've read the first three within a week. But at least that gives me something to look forward to. I am, however, hoping that the next book takes place back in London.
Blameless is the third book in the Parasol Protectorate series. It revolves around Alexia Tarabotti, a soulless woman in an alternate Victorian England where supernatural creatures have been accepted by society. Alexia's husband is an alpha werewolf, and she is an adviser to the Queen. Alexia is a fun, feisty, intelligent and gutsy woman who is not afraid to speak her mind. The plot of this story centers upon Alexia proving that she is blameless. I won't say what she is being accused of, as it is a spoiler for those who haven't read the first two novels in the series, but Alexia travels to Europe trying to prove her innocence. As always, there is lots of action, humor, and witty dialogue along the way.
Me deja con cierta curiosidad, para leer el cuarto. Está entretenido.
