Prudence by Gail Carriger

Twenty-year-old Prudence "Rue" Akeldama and her friends journey in a gaudy dirigible to India in search of a superior type of tea for her adoptive father, a wealthy vampire, only to run headfirst into danger, intrigue, and local politics.

Another delightful mystery full of laughs from Gail Carriger.

Story was a bit odd, rather disorganized and lacking the feeling of closure or satisfaction I'm used to from the prior books. I think I'll follow along for the next book and see what I think after that.

3.5/5 stars. This book started out pretty slow, for what I was used to from Gail Carriger, but in the end I laughed hysterically and enjoyed myself very much. Can't wait for Imprudence!!

Colorful characters and scenery. I like the charmingly weird aspect of it, tea with werewolves and vampires, etc. Not having read the Parasol Protectorate, a number of references were lost on me. Otherwise, a fun read!
