Soulless was great fun, witty, tongue-in-cheek! I loved it. Yes, loved it with a passion and enjoyed every moment from first to last. I didn't want to put it down and finished in short order (and ordered the next two in Carriger's series).Vampires and werewolves and bluestockings and preternaturals and mad scientists and romance and steampunk and endearing characters! It was fresh and fun and somehow, as comforting as tea and scones.
It was a perfect choice for the R.I.P. V Challenge, and for anyone who enjoys a bit of witty repartee and a novel that keeps you smiling, it is a must read. Jane Austen meets Jules Verne.

ReplyDeleteUnruly - I found Soulless to be a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteSoulless is sitting here and waiting to be read. I think your review is the most appealing I read so far. Makes me want to go and start the novel immediately. Unfortunately there are other books to be finished first.
ReplyDeleteCaroline, I enjoyed Soulless a lot. The next two in the series, however, didn't appeal as much.
