Timeless (Parasol Protectorate, #5)Timeless by Gail Carriger

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


And for my next trick, I will "review" a book that I can't really remember reading, even though it happened two weeks ago. This was allegedly my packing and moving audiobook, but somewhere in there I got what in retrospect was a very high fever, and hand to God all I can come up with is a jumble of boxes, the sounds a cat makes when you go over a speed bump, and a weird conglomerate sense impression of this book: something hats something something kidfic something vampires hot air balloons steampunk mummies gay porn.

That last part might not have happened? Or it might have!

Uh. So I think this was kind of anti-climactic and samey, and it didn't really follow through on any of the more complex questions raised, and it really just seemed like setup for a sequel series about the kid, but honestly? The fuck do I actually know.
