Timeless

De: Gail Carriger

Narrado por: Emily Gray

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 world of Timeless is a unique recipe of steampunk and fantasy spiced with light sprinkling of romance. Its setting is rich for characters to romp about in, but the unbridled playfulness of the language and dialogue shines brightest."—Miami Herald on Timeless

Love the interpretation

Great book and an awesome reader! I loved every second of this story and enjoyed the narrators talented voice acting!!

quite a few twists and turns

as it turns out this book series really did decide to Veer off course and change everything you thought you knew about most of our secondary characters. I applaud the way that it led this little spider webbed Adventure having everything touching connect while it's spun itself in a rather Labyrinthian manner

fantastic as always!

I loved every bit of this. my only complaint is I finished it! xD
The story was entrancing and transportive as it really feels like you're there. I have no idea how the reader can keep all her different voices straight and its simply delightful!

Wonderful

Miss Gray does a lovely job. It is always a pleasure listening to her character renditions.

OK Ending

An overall enjoyable ending for a fun series, with many loose ends tied up and some surprising happenings also. I must say that Biffy’s growth and increasing role in the pack was an interesting and welcome direction that I was not expecting. Some things that happened did not make sense to me, and the attitudes towards and treatment of Egyptians left me feeling a bit uncomfortable. Also, Felicity’s character through the whole series was just an annoyance to me. Her effect on plot could have as easily been done by other characters without her bringing down each scene she was in.

The audio narration was great, as always. Emily Gray added a dimension to the series that definitely improved the overall work for me. I really recommend listening to the audiobooks for these stories.

Overall, the book was not as good as it could be, but it was good to have resolution of a number of questions.
