From Goodreads. Lady Alexia Maccon, soulless, is at it again, only this time the trouble is not her fault. When a mad ghost threatens the queen, Alexia is on the case, following a trail that leads her deep into her husband's past. Top that off with a sister who has joined the suffragette movement (shocking!), Madame Lefoux's latest mechanical invention, and a plague of zombie porcupines and Alexia barely has time to remember she happens to be eight months pregnant.
Will Alexia manage to determine who is trying to kill Queen Victoria before it is too late? Is it the vampires again or is there a traitor lurking about in wolf's clothing? And what, exactly, has taken up residence in Lord Akeldama's second best closet?
Review by Kate
HEARTLESS, by Gail Carriger, is the wonderfully written fourth book in The Parasol Protectorate Series. Alexia is well into her pregnancy and the supernaturals in the area are all a twitter trying to figure out what the baby will be, soulless or not. But as always, Alexia finds herself in the midst of a mystery surrounding the Queen and heaps of trouble along with it.
I am still so in love with this series! Alexia always seems to find herself in some sort of trouble and this book was no different. Well the main difference is that she is precariously waddling all over London with her infant-inconvenience. For as much as I cracked up reading about Alexia having a hard time moving around as she used to and how much more she needed to be eating, I was anxious for the baby to be born to find out its soul-status. And by the end I was completely shocked and upset that I didn't have Timeless in my hands at that moment!
There is so much more to this book but I'm afraid of spoiling it so with the inclusion of favorite characters, an annoying sister character, an octomaton, and plenty of action this book is sure to please fans of the series!
