Publisher Description
From New York Times bestselling author Gail Carriger comes the delightful sequel to Imprudence.
Accidentally abandoned!
All alone in Singapore, proper Miss Primrose Tunstell must steal helium to save her airship, the Spotted Custard, in a scheme involving a lovesick werecat and a fake fish tail.
When she uncovers rumors of a new kind of vampire, Prim and the Custard crew embark on a mission to Peru. There, they encounter airship pirates and strange atmospheric phenomena, and are mistaken for representatives of the Spanish Inquisition. Forced into extreme subterfuge (and some rather ridiculous outfits) Prim must also answer three of life's most challenging questions: Can the perfect book club give a man back his soul? Will her brother ever stop wearing his idiotic velvet fez? And can the amount of lard in Christmas pudding save an entire species?
Customer Reviews
A lovely continuation
I had a few reservations at first when I found out this was mostly Primrose’s book. It seemed weird to have the first two books from Rue’s POV and then swap things up halfway through the series. But it totally works. It’s from both the twin’s POV, but the primary romance is Prim and Tash. And it’s about time with those two! The narrator continues to do a wonderful job. Not a single weird or annoying mannerism to distract from the story.
