Light and witty

5 stars

This was probably my favorite book of the series, with a satisfactory ending. I love the writing style of these books, there a lightness to it that makes me smile all the time. This one has dirigibles, a boat trip, balloon trips, a cute metanatural baby (Prudence), children traveling with their parents, Egypt ancient mysteries, and adorable supernatural beings. (vampires and werewolves). It's witty, and sensible and classy. It was a true feel-good read. And I felt compelled to continue reading the next series (The Custard Protocol) that focuses on Prudence as an grown-up lady.

Review of 'Timeless' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

I coooooould feel bad for not really caring about the resolution of the series long mytharc stuff in this the final book of the series and instead only caring about the gay werewolf subplot. But I don’t. Not least because it’s quite clear the author also mostly only cared about the gay werewolves in this book and, again like me, was just trying to get through all non-gay werewolf material in order to get to the novella about said gay werewolves. So anyway gonna go read that now.
