Soulless, Changeless, Blameless… Meaningless.
Aha! I slay me.
Changeless and Soulless have bounced around the interwebs for a while so I thought I’d dive in and have a read – Changeless was the first title to become available for me at the library so, despite it being the second in the series, I took it. I’ve been told I really should have read Soulless and I will be when it becomes available.
Anyway, actual book? A fun piece of fluffery. Frippery even. Don’t expect much (which I kind of made the mistake of doing), don’t expect writing that extends beyond exposition and you’ll be fine.
Does that make me sound like a total po-faced killjoy? Because it reads like it does.
Some of the supposed language tics annoyed the frick out of me, the plot was a little slow to begin with but improved immensely, I’m not one for cliffhanger endings, I enjoyed a lot of the humour, I engaged more with the characters as the book progressed, I’m happy to read the others (but not looking to run out and buy them), I didn’t love it like I thought I would but I’m willing to look into a bit more of the genre (steampunk. I believe).
Changeless was fun. Is what I’m trying to say.
I think I need to relax more.

Extra BookieMonster Blathery Goodness!
I started with Soulless and didn’t really expect to like it. But I did; then I wanted more. Have pre-ordered Blameless after being pissy about the ending of Changeless.
heh – consider it a counter to Sydney Bridge Upside Down. At least one knows what’s going on with Gail Carriger!
Haha
I guess I’m okay not necesarily knowing exactly what’s going on. It really threw me at the begining, and was a leeetle bit boring. When you’re exposing plot but the plot is a bit thin and that goes on for pages then you kinda need to flesh it out with something.
