This is the fourth installment in the Parasol Protectorate series, in which we find Alexia in yet another taxing situation. This one is one that no one could of expected, least of all, Alexia. She finds herself pregnant, abandoned by her husband and under attack from the local vampire hive. Throughout the book she's fending for her life, trying to figure out how it's possible she's pregnant and pining over the fact that Conall has abandoned her and doesn't trust her enough to know she's been faithful. This novel is almost as delightful as the previous novel, but I had a harder time getting through it. Sometimes the balance of show and tell became a bit burdensome. I did like that we got to see a bit more of the secondary characters of Lyall and Biffy and the background of Alexia's birth and being soulless rolls out nicely. Overall, it was an excellent read.

Heartless The Parasol Protectorate Gail Carriger 9780316127196 Books Reviews

love, love, LOVE this series! Alexa gets herself and everyone around her in all sorts of trouble, but they never expected switching homes i bet. Love the birthing, very Alexa-ish, with a hair of Conial. I cant wait to see how the baby ties them all together
I liked this one, although even in it's own world it was quite over the top and crazy. The characters are too over-the-top so while I do enjoy them I can't take any of them that seriously. I just like to watch them do their own thing.

Still for of surprises, action and adventure, the story-line still moves along quite quickly. Hardly any time for a breath! By the end, everything in London and the supernatural is turned around and upside-down. Some shake-ups I don't like, but enjoyed this one. With the coming birth of the baby, things were bound to change, and this one sure did.

I still find a lot of light-hearted fun here.
Heartless was not as good as the other books in the Parasol Protectorate series. It didn't seem like a whole lot happened in this one. All the characters are there and stuff happens just nothing super exciting. The last third of the book was the most exciting. And of course Alexia and Conall's baby is special which was interesting.
Overall, nothing new was brought up about Alexia's father or her Soulless state. The characters are just as funny and entertaining as the other books, but for this one, the story wasn't as exciting as the others.
4.5 out of 5 stars for great characters and writing.
*NO Spoilers for Heartless.
The Good YES! For all that I wanted more Alexia and Maccon interactions, Heartless was full of it and it was perfect! The Plot was also brilliant and had me guessing until the end.

The Bad I feel like everyone treated Alexia badly at some point, excluding Maccon, he was amazing! I also wasn't a fan of the Ghostly interruptions, I didn't really find them necessary.

The Awesome Gail Carriger has such a sofisticated and delightful sense of humor. I can think of many instances where she had me laughing out loud. From Alexia talking to the Infant-inconvenience to her giving birth, HILARIOUSLY AMAZING!

Alpha of the Woolsey werewolf clan, Lord Maccon worries about his eight months pregnant wife Lady Alexia. He is unconcerned about her crankiness and complaints of bunions growing in her womb. His trepidation is whether her Metanatural unborn may be the second known soul stealer. He persuades her friend vampire Lord Akeldama, who's relative Queen Zenobia is the first, to adopt the baby.

When Alexia learns an assassin stalks Queen Victoria, she waddles over to protect her Highness. However, her quest is dangerous as she dodges quills from zombie porcupines, vampires who want her dead, Biffy the werewolf still howling for her mentor Maccon, and the worst her clueless sister Felicity.

The fourth Parasol Protectorate Victorian fantasy (see Soulless, Changeless and Blameless) is a fun at times jocular (especially when the married couple discuss her "bunions") investigative tale. The heroine escorts readers through a different London filled with eccentric otherworldly species not found in a Dickens' novel. Although the story line is thin even with several subplots that never fully gel, fans will enjoy Alexia's pregnant pause as she sets out to protect the Queen.

I enjoyed it. In this book, Alexia must unravel and stop a plot against the queen, while dealing with one of her sisters suddenly appearing on her doorstep to live with her, all while being nearly ready to give birth to her first child. It's full of a lot of nonstop action that is mostly predictable, but the book is still enjoyable and well written.

I'm looking forward to the next book in the series as it takes place after the birth of Alexia's child. Given that until Alexia agreed to allow her child to be adopted and raised by a vampire, the vampires were trying to kill her to prevent the birth, I'm curious as to what frightens them so about the child.
Parasol Protectorate 4

Alexia's due date is fast approaching, but she still has a full plate. Ghosts are warning of danger to the Queen, the vampires are still trying to kill Alexia to prevent the birth of her baby, Biffy is still struggling with his metamorphosis, and Lyall reveals something painful from his past. And then there is Madame Lebouf who is working herself to the bones on something her aunt doesn't approve of.

This one really mixes things up in the werewolf and vampire communities. Westminster Hive and Woolsey Pack may never recover. Another delightful tale, but I still don't understand why the romance between Akeldama and Biffy couldn't continue, even if it is an unusual pairing. So is a marriage between a werewolf and a preternatural, but it works. Once again we're given humor, romance, the paranormal, and a dollop of Victorian steampunk. 4.5 out of 5.
