This novella serves as an epilogue to the story of my two favorite characters from Gail Carriger's Victorian-set novels: Biffy and Professor Lyall. It is very funny, there's a mystery, some action and Ms Carriger's signature well written romance. As a bonus I was surprised to discover that the story is Christmas-themed, perfect timing that I read it in late December!
I just love these two characters - I'd happily read another 10 books of these two just doing housekeeping and choosing the curtains. They are great.
To read this you really should have finished the Parasol Protectorate and ideally about a third of the book Imprudence. I'll be honest - I love Gail Carriger's work, but the Custard Protocol books just don't grab me. The only thing that got me reading until book 2 was so that I could read this little story.
I'm so glad I did - it was one of those books that when I got to the end I hugged it with a happy smile, yet felt sad that it was over.
I do hope that Ms Carriger returns to these two.
