When I ordered this (used) book I didn't realize I was getting a signed copy 💕 Apparently Gail Carriger signed the first 10,000 copies.

My used copy of The Parasol Protectorate omnibus came in today. Honestly, why don't more book series combine volumes? (Also I prefer this cover to the original ones... the og for Soulless is iconic but I wish they had used same model for the rest of the books, plus I always imagined Alexia as a bit more voluptuous with the way she's frequently described as "large" but I digress.)
This is basically a long short story. I'm interested enough to read other books by the author but the story itself was just ok.

Holmes and Watson are trying to find out who the Black Baron is. Meanwhile bombings happen across London and draw ever closer to Buckingham Palace, the Queen might be their intended target, naturally Mycroft engages Sherlock to investigate.

I finished this very late last night. Stuff was happening and I couldn't stop reading! Interestingly I never would have chosen this based on the cover. (I know. I KNOW!) A friend loaned it to me thinking I would like it. He wasn't wrong! I'm also told it is based on a d&d game the author played. Anyway if you like good vs evil, taking cats, crazy wizards, crystals, strong women characters, and fighting flying ships this might be your thing too.
4/5
I loved this conclusion to the Clocktaur Wars. Many of the twists continued to surprise me. And as always, I love anytime Gnolls show up in T. Kingfisher's White Rat books.
I never would have chosen this book from the cover. I have to say though I'm really enjoying it. A friend thought I would like it and he wasn't wrong. This is a good lesson for me that sometimes I shouldn't judge the book based on the cover. (Tea is from Chapters called A Date with Mr. Darcy. The scone is cinnamon raisin. Both were delicious.)
