Heartless (The Parasol Protectorate, #4)Heartless by Gail Carriger

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Steampunk octopus. Steampunk octopus! . . . Steampunk octopus?



I dunno, if you’re gonna give me a steampunk octopus rampaging across Victorian London and battling werewolves, it’s gotta be with more conviction than that.



This series is like waxed fruit: it’s decorative, it’s pretty, it suits only very particular esthetics. And you really, really don’t want to do anything other than look at it once in a while and go, “yeah. Wax fruit.”



. . . Pretty fun, though.
