Summary
From New York Times best-selling author Gail Carriger comes the delightful sequel to Imprudence.
Accidentally abandoned!
All alone in Singapore, proper Miss Primrose Tunstell must steal helium to save her airship, the Spotted Custard, in a scheme involving a lovesick werecat and a fake fish tail.
When she uncovers rumors of a new kind of vampire, Prim and the Custard crew embark on a mission to Peru. There, they encounter airship pirates and strange atmospheric phenomena, and are mistaken for representatives of the Spanish Inquisition. Forced into extreme subterfuge (and some rather ridiculous outfits) Prim must also answer three of life's most challenging questions: Can the perfect book club give a man back his soul? Will her brother ever stop wearing his idiotic velvet fez?And can the amount of lard in Christmas pudding save an entire species?
Critic reviews
"Carriger excels at wry humor and clever phrasing, and her ensemble cast is thoroughly charming and satisfyingly diverse. There's a genuine sense of whimsy and fun running throughout this story."—Publishers Weekly

very pc but not as much fun
not quite up to usual very high standard. long on words short on story. too much time spent on personal side stories rather than the usual romping yarn

All the usual Carriger wonderfulness
I loved this book when I read it on my kindle. I love it even more as an audiobook. Gail Carriger has written another excellent story, full of tea, dirigibles and high jinks. Moira Quirk has brought her usual brilliance to the audio, making it even better than the book (something that you wouldn’t think was possible). I love Percy, Prim and Tash. I can’t wait for Reticence to finally appear on audible UK

Gail Carriger, brilliant as always
It's the usual romp, this time turning towards Latin America. Percy's perspective is strongly featured, but this book's main character is Primrose Tunstell. I loved her story. ❤

a bit too same old same old
I love this series, and the previous one. I have also read some of the short stories set in the same world and enjoyed them all. alas this one repeats too many previous themes, it also lacks narrative drive of other books in this world. Victorian attitudes and forbidden love, stroppy crew and weird parents only work so many times.
