Fresh Fiction Review

CHANGELESS
Gail Carriger

Reviewed by Jaime Zalinski
Posted September 19, 2011

Fantasy Steampunk

CHANGELESS by Gail Carriger starts off approximately three months after the end of Soulless. It seems our main character has everything she wanted out of life. A loving, but irritable husband, a position of standing in society, and the ear of the queen. The governmental position given to her due to the rare soulless condition she inherited from her Italian father has started to cause issues with her social status as Lady Woolsey. Alexi must investigate the mystery of why London's supernaturals are suddenly turning mortal while following social protocol. After all, a lady must never be seen traveling without the appropriate chaperon!

This addition to the series is filled with all the social quirks and British humor that readers fell in love with in Soulless. We still have a best friend with an obsession with ugly hats, a flamboyant vampire, and a cranky husband who happens to be the Alpha of the local werewolf pack. New additions to the intriguing cast of characters includes a French business woman who happens to also be an inventor and likes to wear men's fashions, including the top hat. The dialogue between characters is priceless and at times will have you laughing out loud. The ending will leave the reader satisfied on most fronts including a twist that was not easy to guess through the story.

Overall, I loved this book. I have been engrossed in the world Carriger created from the beginning. She has taken the popularity of Paranormal novels and given them a new spin. Some of the banter between characters can get tiresome but this is going to happen when a lady of society has to keep up appearances at the same time as investigating the Paranormal. Especially when you have a family like hers.

SUMMARY

Alexia Maccon, now known as the Lady Maccon, awakens in the
wee hours of the mid-afternoon to find her husband, who
should be decently asleep like any normal werewolf, yelling
at the top of his lungs. Then he disappears - leaving her to
deal with a regiment of supernatural soldiers encamped on
her doorstep, a plethora of exorcised ghosts, and an angry
Queen Victoria.

But Alexia is armed with her trusty parasol, the latest
fashions, and an arsenal of biting civility. Even when her
investigations take her into the backwater of ugly
waistcoats and Scotland, she is prepared: resurrecting
ghosts, exposing a French spy, and unearthing the mysteries
of a stolen Egyptian mummy. She might even find time to
track down her wayward husband, if she feels like it.
