Changeless

It took me a while to get back into this world and the characters, but after I did, I really enjoyed this installment. I really wish we got more interaction between Alexia and Lord Maccon. But I still loved all the witty humor and banter that we did get. The ending of this was not at all what I was expecting and I'm mildly angry with Gail Carriger for doing that to these characters. Hopefully there is a great explanation in Blameless for the actions of a certain someone.

Changeless had the same returning pleasures the first book produced. The character interactions were smooth, amusing and the humor was still present. The pacing was good, and the story overall was decent. I was happy the reader does find out a little more about Soulless people along with the character, which I felt was really lacking in the first book.
I didn't like that the sister disappeared through the action scene and then reappeared after everything was all done and over at a silly dinner scene. The disappearance stayed in the back of my mind. I can't help but think (or hope) she shall have a more evil role in the next book because if her only role was to be an instigator I feel it was a poor on the writers part but I have more faith in this writer's talent. Over all it was distracting. Also, a bad technique was the cliffhanger ending I didn't need it to read the next book. It is also not stopping from continuing on in the series.

Oh for Christ's sake, this book was torturous. I had to fight my way to the end because I wanted to know what happened, but even with the MAJOR cliff hanger I just refuse to read the next in the series. Every single character went from interesting(in Soulless) to downright obnoxious! Save yourself the agony.
