Blameless: an update

[cupcake_goth]

I am now on page 224. Beware, spoilers behind the cut tag.



In no particular order:

- Getting fired from the Shadow Council? Ouch.

- WHERE THE HELL HAS LORD AKELDAMA SCAMPERED OFF TO?

- Ladybugs! Come to think of it, oversized ladybugs would be kind of creepy. Especially exploding ones.

- Oh dear. Leaving Ivy in charge of the hat shop could be a disaster.

- YES, BUSTLES ARE ESSENTIAL FOR EMERGENCY ESCAPES IN ORNITHOPTRS. I approve.

- On the other hand, hey look! Ivy isn't quite as silly as she appears!

- Oooh, Floote has a Mysterious Past!

- Oh, Madame Lafoux. You just keep flirting with Alexia.

- Ha! Go Professor Lyall, with explaining to Conall that he's being a moron, and that he needs to publicly apologize/grovel to Alexia! (I, like Professor Lyall, am not sure that will be enough to get her to forgive Conall, but at least now the big lug isn't drinking formaldehyde to get drunk.)

- Hmmm, the Templars. This is going to get interesting.





OH MY GOD, BIFFY! While I'm pretty certain that Lord Akeldama would rather have him around as a werewolf than dead, still!

Oooh, it was the Potentate who was behind that. And now he's dead. Whoops? Queen Victorian will Not Be Amused.


Page 329


The "infant-inconvenience" is a soul-stealer. Interesting.

Queen Victoria just told Akeldama that he's the new Potentate. Oh my!




So far, I have resisted all urges to skip to the end and Find Out What Happens. Now I go back to reading.

OK - I just read the Amazon blurb, and this book is SO you it isn't even funny.

If you want hysterical in a much different vein, I just finished "I'm Perfect, You're Doomed - Tales from a Jehovah's Witness Upbringing". Recommended highly.

I am so upset my copy didn't arrive today. I've been tempting Gail Carriger with gifts and threats of stylish stalking to get her to let me proof/edit Heartless. Not just b/c I'm a proofreader but also b/c I have no patience.
