All caught up! And honestly if this were the last entry in the series, I'd be happy with the ending.
Stoker and Veronica have their HEA, not the conventional married with babies kind, but the devoted, loving, fully accepting and supportive and communicative kind where they are still clearly individuals with their own interests.
I loved seeing Wellie and Mornaday and even JJ again, and I adored every moment of the introduction and development of Wilfred Plumtree.
The recognition of the roles permitted to be played by women in this period of history, how women might be able to escape them or be brought low or twisted by them remains a well executed theme.
As much as the premise for this particular story has a bit of Frankenstein goulishness, I did spend an appreciable amount of time chortling.
The banter remains top notch.
Will happily pick up the next in the series whenever it appears (publication dates suggest annually?).

I think this has probably the darkest theme for the victim that I can recall in the series. It started off strong and then just kind of dragged for me. Unfortunately I think I may be nearing the end of enjoying this series. :[
