Amusing and entertaining in extremely well-written English. What more do you want?! Buy it and read it already. Your only regret- like mine - will be that the series isn't longer. But nothing is perfect, you see.

This is a terrific second installment in the Parasol Protectorate series. I love the interaction between Alexia and Conall, and Ivy's idiotic utterances are absolutely hilarious. The dirigible scene is well-plotted and exciting, and the doozy of a cliffhanger will definitely drive me to buy the third book. Highly recommended to fans of Juliet Blackwell, Madelyn Alt and Meljean Brook.

Really enjoyable, light-hearted series. I just don't understand why a book that is set in England and purports to be British, has so many Americanised words - a 'blond' lady, 'color', 'ladybug', I could go on and on. Doesn't make sense to me. It's either all British or it's not.
