Alexia Tarabotti er 26 år og registreret sjælløs hos BRU (Bureau til Registrering af Unaturlige). Men det er ikke alt, hun er også halvt italiensk, intelligent og rapkæftet, hvilket ikke er passende for en ung kvinde i 1800-tallets overklasse. Efter et uheldigt sammenstød med en vampyr, hvirvles hun ind i mystiske begivenheder.… (mere)
nessreader: The heroine of Soulless has a similar outlook to early Amelia Peabody (but I should warn that the Peabody series is cosy crime/romance, with no supernatural element while Soulless is gleeful fantasy) Both have strong willed on-the-shelf spinsters who are active protagonists in their story.… (mere)
lquilter: Without knowing, I'd imagine that Gail Carriger had read Elizabeth Peters' Amelia Peabody series (beginning with Crocodile on the Sandbank) before writing Blameless (et seq). Similar era, similarly cranky and forthright spinster protagonist, similar sort of love affair, similar witty dialog and observations. The Amelia Peabody books are, of course, "straight" historical mystery, without the steampunk elements of Carriger's series, but I imagine that Carriger fans who read out-of-genre also will enjoy the Peters' series. Similarly, Peters fans who like SF, steampunk, or vampires/werewolves, might enjoy the Carriger series.… (mere)
Mumugrrl: Both books are set in urban, alternative realities, with humans openly interacting with preternatural society. Both have great strong heroines.
This was a light paranormal/steampunk/Victorian mash up genre book that at heart is a historical romance with werewolves, vampires and other paranormal elements. No hassles, no angst. Just what I needed to get me back into a book binge. ( )
This was a witty, well-written book with characters that I absolutely adored. I'd had my eye on this book for a while, and when Barnes & Noble spotlighted Gail Carriger and offered the e-book of Soulless up for $0.99, I jumped all over it. My only complaint about the book (and Ms. Carriger's writing) is that she seemed to be a bit too wordy, especially at the beginning of the book. The dictionary on my nook has never been used so much. This seems to have tapered off as the book wore on, though. All-in-all, she's written a fantastic book with a likeable, smart, witty, independent heroine. ( )
Its funny, but I'm starting to lose interest. Seems like a standard 'Victorian' romance with some supernaturals thrown in to make it different. Okay, I guess I was in a REALLY bad mood. The next time I opened it up, and right thru to the end, I was back enjoying it. Weird! AND it was good enough for me to buy the next one! ( )
