About this listen

Alexia Maccon, the Lady Woolsey, awakens in the wee hours of the midafternoon to find her husband, who should be decently asleep like any normal werewolf, yelling at the top of his lungs. Then he disappears, leaving her to deal with a regiment of supernatural soldiers encamped on her doorstep, a plethora of exorcised ghosts, and an angry Queen Victoria.

But Alexia is armed with her trusty parasol, the latest fashions, and an arsenal of biting civility. So even when her investigations take her to Scotland, the backwater of ugly waistcoats, she is prepared, upending werewolf pack dynamics as only the soulless can. She might even find time to track down her wayward husband, if she feels like it.

Changeless is the second book of the Parasol Protectorate series: a comedy of manners set in Victorian London, full of werewolves, vampires, dirigibles, and tea drinking.

Just what I had hoped for in this series...

A strong, intelligent and sexy woman in Victorian England. Vampires, werewolves, steampunk and murders come together. Excellently read with the appropriate UK accents too. I am getting a kick out if the battle between what is prim and proper for a lady, and when those things should be tossed aside.

Slow start but still fun

Changeless was harder to get into than book 1 but it delivered in the end. The world building is fun and the technology well thought out. The narrator does a great job again of capturing the spirit of the whole thing. It was enough to keep me going and I’ll likely still try book 3 even though this one was a bit of a let down.

Weaker sequel with interesting pack dynamics

The first book, Soulless, was such an entertaining romantic paranormal romp, and this - wasn't. The writing style is still witty and sharp (in places) after a slow start. Hoping this is just the disappinting second book as it sets up things for book three (which the last few minutes definitely sets in place).

Alexia is still a fabulously interesting character with a refreshing point of view, but she needed some of the fun characters from the first book to be around; instead there are grouchy dour characters who lack the zest and humour from the first book.

Lord Maccon and Ivy both had personality changes between book one and book two. Ivy was a fun ditzy friend who was suddenly an unbelieveably stupid person (I kept thinking that surely this change was supernatural in nature - but alas she was just irritating); and Lord Maccon decides not to confide or even discuss important happenings with his wife, leading to contrived miscommunications.

I did enjoy the new character of the secretive French inventor Mme LeFoux, and hope she continues into book three.

Book three will be purchased as I do want to see where we go after the events at the of the book, and also the narrator is so easy to listen to (which is the mark of a truly excellent narrator).
