This is my favorite book of all time. An American travelogue through the landscapes of world mythology clashing with modernity. When one man is pulled into a playing field of gods, the world turns upside down.

Third book in the Parasol Protectorate series. Lady Maccon is forced to go abroad to find answers for herself amidst death threats and social ruin.

Second book in the Parasol Protectorate series. My favorite of the five - great exploration of amazing secondary characters and further introduction to over-arching plot.

The first in the Parasol Protectorate series - meet Alexia Tarabotti. She's half-Italian. A spinster, and soulless. Set in an alternate Victorian England where supernatural are integrated into society Miss Tarabotti finds herself at the center of a curious mystery.

A great ending to the Finishing School series - Sophronia puts her lessons to work and Miss Carriger does a great job of tying up loose ends while leaving room for future development.

My favorite of the Finishing School series - lots of action and radical character development/revelations.

Second book in the Finishing School series. I enjoyed this book where it introduces one of my favorite Carriger characters - even briefly (Hullo, Lord A!).

As a prequel to her Parasol Protectorate series, these books can be a fun read on their own but you get a lot more from it when you read them in conjunction with the PP books. Aimed towards a younger audience, still a lot of fun.
