![]() ![]() In Heartless, we find Alexia nearing the end of what has been an unusually trying pregnancy. Heartless, the fourth volume of the series, is no exception, and Carriger’s readers will not be disappointed. I have been a fan of The Parasol Protectorate since I read Soulless last year: the series is consistently charming, original, and laugh-out-loud funny. Will she be able to figure out who is trying to kill Queen Victoria before it’s too late? Is it the vampires again or is there a traitor lurking about in wolf’s clothing? And do they really have to take up residence in Lord Akeldama’s second best closet? ![]() Top that off with a sister who has joined the suffragette movement (shocking!), Madame Lefoux’s latest mechanical invention and a plague of zombie porcupines – and Alexia barely has time to remember she just happens to be eight months pregnant. When a mad ghost threatens the queen, Alexia is on the case, following a trail that leads her deep into her husband’s past. Lady Alexia, soulless, is at it again – only this time the trouble in the air is not her fault. Are treason and conspiracy threatening London? ![]()
