About the book

From NYT bestselling author Gail Carriger comes a witty adventure about a young woman with rare supernatural abilities travels to India for a spot of tea and adventure and finds she's bitten off more than she can chew.

When Prudence Alessandra Maccon Akeldama ("Rue" to her friends) is bequeathed an unexpected dirigible, she does what any sensible female under similar circumstances would do -- she christens it the Spotted Custard and floats off to India.

Soon, she stumbles upon a plot involving local dissidents, a kidnapped brigadier's wife, and some awfully familiar Scottish werewolves. Faced with a dire crisis (and an embarrassing lack of bloomers), Rue must rely on her good breeding -- and her metanatural abilities -- to get to the bottom of it all. . .

Rue ist ihrer Mutter in manchen Dingen ähnlicher, als sie selbst denkt. Zusammen mit ihren Freunden und Freundinnen mischt sie die supernatural society ganz schön auf. Ebenso wie das Parasol Protectorate eines meiner persönlichen Highlights ❤️

Another wonderful gaggle of new main characters by Carriger, and they are so much fun already. I can't wait to watch them grow more. Also giggled and laughed out loud at the reappearance of Mr Featherstone-thingy. Rue and Prim are a delightfully different combo than their Mothers, but their dynamic is truly enjoyable in their own right. As are the other relationships in this universe, but it is just wonderful to see a friendship between young women displayed in an honest but becoming way.

Ich tue mich wirklich sehr, sehr schwer damit dieses Buch zu bewerten. Ich wollte es wirklich mögen, da mich bis jetzt alles der Autorin überzeugen konnte. Leider ist der Funke einfach gar nicht übergesprungen. Nichtsdestotrotz werde ich mich sogleich Band 2 widmen.
