Timeless

Full review at: sff book review

Sadly, this book was, again, only meh. While the style is as fun and whimsical as ever, Gail Carriger doesn't really give us anything new. Literally everything we see here - except for Prudence, maybe - has been there in the previous books. And while I enjoy falling into her novels and enjoying her silliness, it's just not enough for me.

This was probably my favorite book of the series, with a satisfactory ending.
I love the writing style of these books, there is a lightness to it that makes me smile all the time.??
This one has dirigibles, a boat trip, balloon trips, a cute meta-natural baby (Prudence), children traveling with their parents, Egypt's ancient mysteries, and adorable supernatural beings. (Vampires and werewolves).??
It's witty, sensible, and classy. It was a true feel-good read. And I felt compelled to continue reading the next series (The Custard Protocol) that focuses on Prudence as a grown-up lady.??

3,75 stars.

I enjoyed this one more than the previous one. I found this last installment a very nice conclusion to a light-hearted and nice series.
The plot was more interesting to me: more action-packed and containing more revelations about Alexia's father. I was waiting for that since volume one! I also enjoyed Alexia and Conall's moments.
Regarding character development, I found also in this one changes out of the blue that made me roll my eyes.
Even if I am left with a positive feeling about some characters, I don't feel enough interest to read further series set in the same world.
