All-in-all, the witty writing in a Victorian setting sings on the page and makes this novel highly entertaining indeed. And the relationship Alexia has with her silly mother and giggly sisters is also a lovely piece of writing. For example, Ivy had learned to find Alexia's bluntness entertaining. Full moons, copious amounts of blood etc are all thrown into the mix.Īnother great section is when Carriger describes the friendship between Alexia and the rather wan Miss Ivy Hisselpenny.

The whole fantastic vampire-werewolf scenario just adds another element to what is, in essence, a comedy of Victorian manners and courtship.

I was impressed that Carriger could keep up the imaginative lines throughout the whole book. Apt one-liners fly all over the pages such as Natural, daylight persons were kept in the dark, so to speak, but any vampire worth his blood should know a preternatural's touch. All frills and lace and Victorian manners. We first meet the bold Alexia at a social gathering.

It's full of lovely descriptions and sharp dialogue. ![]() She'd no doubt call a spade a spade - and a vampire, well, a vampire. Īlexia is one feisty young woman who does not mince her words. I kind of expected a bit of a treat owing to the author's original short biography on the back cover. The front cover is wickedly arresting and sums up the contents beautifully. This is a genre I do not normally choose to read so I was open-minded. I just knew that Alexia was going to be bags of fun - and she was. Her forthright character is refreshingly at odds with the rather snivelling wallflowers of the era. Miss Tarabotti fairly bounces (in a ladylike fashion, of course) onto the page. ![]() The heroine, Alexia Tarabotti is a force to be reckoned with and she doesn't suffer fools gladly Summary: A delicious and razor-sharp, witty tale of werewolves and vampires in Victorian times.
