Timeless | Gail Carriger
Alexia Tarabotti, Lady Maccon, has settled into domestic bliss. Of course, being Alexia, such bliss involves integrating werewolves into London High society, living in a vampire's second best closet, and coping with a precocious toddler who is prone to turning supernatural willy-nilly. Until, that is, she receives a summons that cannot be ignored. With husband, child, and Tunstells in tow, Alexia boards a steamer to cross the Mediterranean. But Egypt may hold more mysteries than even the indomitable Lady Maccon can handle. What does the vampire Queen of the Alexandria Hive really want from her? Why is the God-Breaker Plague suddenly expanding? And how has Ivy Tunstell suddenly become the most popular actress in all the British Empire?TIMELESS is the final book of the Parasol Protectorate series: a comedy of manners set in Victorian London, full of werewolves, vampires, dirigibles, and tea-drinking.The Parasol Protectorate Soulless Changeless Blameless Heartless Timeless For more from Gail Carriger, check out: The Custard Protocol Prudence Imprudence Finishing School (YA) Etiquette & Espionage Curtsies & Conspiracies Waistcoats & Weaponry Manners & Mutiny

I love characters in this series and in this one two of them ended up being together, kind of at least. It was so sweet and I was so happy for them.

World is amazing with all these peculiar characters and different supernaturals. These has been light and fun to read.

Book 23 of the year

This one went back to the feel of the first two, and then went dark exploring the downside to immortal life. I really admire Carriger's ability to take some pretty horrifying imagery and still be light hearted about it.

The final Parasol Protectorate Book, and boy am I going to miss Alexia, Conall, Lord Akeldama, Ivy, Madame Lefoux and the rest of the characters in this steampunk world. Gail Carriger did a great job of ending the series, while giving the reader enough to imagine more.

I look forward to reading her other series.

This was a fitting end to the 5-book Parasol Protectorate series, filled with adventure & angst. About 60% of the way through, I worried so much about where it was headed that I did something I almost never do, and peeked at the last two chapters to make sure it ended in a way I could tolerate. It did, so I finished it. 😂 This is a fun series and I'm sure I'll pick up the spin-off books eventually. About 2 hrs done for #24B4Monday.

BillBlume I have a friend who always reads how the book ends before she starts it. We tease her about this, but her reasoning is similar to yours here. 5y
DGRachel @BillBlume I almost never do this, but I was feeling kind of cranky and I knew this was the last book in the series and I was ready to bail if I didn‘t get my romance novel HEA. I just had to be sure it had an ending I could live with. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 5y

I confess to a serious deficit of books set in Egypt on my shelves. I thought of two from Gail Carriger's fun series. I've read Timeless, book five of the Parasol Protectorate series where Alexia Tarabotti is summoned to Alexandria by the Vampire Queen. Imprudence, is in my #TBR stack & is the second book of The Custard Protocol & features Alexia's daughter, Prudence. Surely someone must have had to #WalkLikeAnEgyptian in them.

charl08 This is a really good (and short) glimpse into growing up Egyptian. 5y

Another super fun trek through the universe of Victorian society with werewolves, vampires and other super natural beings. Sorry to be done with this five book series. Thanks to Gail Carriger for a magnificent romp! I look forward to reading more of her writing.

BookaholicNatty I adored these books so much!!! I was sad they came to an end too but there are a few other series she wrote as well I‘m looking forward to reading about Prudence 5y

I hope she will write more one day and I hope it will become a tv series as well!!!! Cheers to Alexia Maccon!!! 🎉🎉❤️😘

I started this audiobook this morning! This is the 5th and last book in the Parasol Protectorate! 😩This has been my favorite series I have read in 2018. The start of this book reaffirmed why! I loved the bath scene with Prudence, I was laughing so hard! These characters have become like real life friends to me. The audiobooks have brought the books to life! This series is one for all ages and one I think EVERY single person should read!

Riveted_Reader_Melissa There is a spin off series.... 6y

In my world of books it is very sad when I find a new series that I adore and then find out it has very few books in it. This is how I feel coming to the end of this awesome series. At only five books I really want more! I‘ll be picking up some of her other books that occur in the same world and can only hope that they are as great! 4.5🌟 #85of2018 #blameitonlitsy

Gail Carriger did it again! I loved this latest installment of the Parasol Protectorate. Alexia et al have tremendous adventures in both England and Egypt.
The story moves at an excellent pace & was very entertaining. I started reading Gail Carriger with the Custard Protocol, and I was thrilled to have so many of my questions answered & to have drawn so many connections.
I unreservedly recommend this book & the rest of the series.

The last in the Parasol Protectorate series, but certainly not the least. I think the series grows stronger as it comes to a close. The usual shenanigans occur and there's a lot of room left for future fun times, just not with the same set of characters because some of them are mortal. Overall, it's a fun universe that Carriger has created - light steampunk with a paranormal twist.

The discovery Alexia makes about water and preternatural is pretty interesting. The absorption of aether and its role in these novels is great world building. I wish it for addressed more with Prudence.
