Oh my! Where to begin? There are too many wonderful things in this book to cover them all and do so without giving away any major plot points or spoilers!
First of all, let?s begin with the absolutely lovely change in tenor in Connall and Alexia?s relationship. In the past, they?ve relied heavily on barbed comments and physical affection to communicate their love for each other. In book four, we finally see them learning to communicate through words. I?m so happy to see this evolution in their relationship. While the humor of their earlier exchanges was delightful, this new aspect of their relationship is far more realistic and enjoyable for the reader. They are now truly believable as a couple. It?s nice to see Connall?s affectionate and gentle side when it comes to tending to his wife.
As always, Carriger is a master at juggling the several relationships she?s established throughout the series. There were a few heart-wrenching moments for poor Biffy as he struggles to adapt to a new situation in his life. But again, Lord Maccon?s newfound softer side comes in to play here, which is quite sweet.
I was so pleased to learn more about Professor Lyall. I had always wondered certain things about him, and Ms. Carriger does not disappoint in providing him a suitable and complex background.
Madam Lefoux gets considerable page time, but that being said, I felt like she was here and there and gone again without really contributing much substance to the story in the earlier pages. However, that might have been exactly how Ms. Carriger wanted it. The inventor?s flighty appearances and distracted demeanor are a direct result of something that occurs later in the book. So, her harried appearances are quite believable when you get the pay off at the end.
Speaking of relationships, one of the most interesting aspects of the book is how ? over time ? the Woosley Pack and Westminster Hive become more and more intertwined. I?m fascinated how these two groups, who have been enemies, are slowly becoming? not friends, but at least tolerated allies. The evolution of this relationship has been slow and steady.
Kudos to Ms. Carriger for making it a highly believable event when it finally comes to fruition!
