Blameless

Gail Carriger makes it look so easy, the way she seemingly without effort but with elegance in abundance weaves witty prose of Oscar-Wilde-ish proportions, it leaves the reader in awe (and delighted laughter).

I feel that there is little I can add to what I already wrote in my reviews for the previous 2 books in the series. The only thing I could think of that one could hold against the author is that she provides in essence "more of the same", however when that "same" is so remarkably exhilarating, I really don't see how one would complain about that.

So while it can naturally not quite provide us with the "all new and shiny" appeal of the first book, the narrative puts our familiar cast of characters in shocking situations that they have never been before and thus forces them to evolve and develop in the most exciting and amusing fashions. If Soulless set the stage and Changeless expanded upon it and eventually shook things up dramatically, then Blameless embarks on the journey of putting things back together, traveling on intense and interesting roads to a new status quo.

Eloquent, exciting and highly entertaining.
