Soulless parasol protectorate3/1/2024 It is gorgeous, cleverly adds humor to the series and has been carefully crafted to make a fantastic manga. I've really come to love the superb artwork. I feel like I can't talk much about the plot without giving it away, so instead I'll focus on other aspects. Now that I've finished the manga, I miss them already. I really have come to love some of the characters such as Lord Maccon, Professor Lyall, Madame Lefoux, Lord Akeldama (though he does not appear much in this one) and Ivy. It was fast-paced, action-packed and filled with humorous expressions and remarks that have been prevalent throughout the series. The plot gripped my attention from the beginning. This whilst being on the vampires most wanted list. Alexia travels to Italy this time, killing two birds with one stone by wishing to learn more of her heritage and to prove her stubborn, pig-headed husband wrong. Volume three of Soulless was witty and entertaining. I received this from the Little Brown Book Group as part of the Goodreads First Reads giveaway. You don't have to miss out on the fun, just grab your parasol and your skirts and embrace the chaos! I would definitely recommend the manga series to others especially those (like myself) who tried to read the novels and for some reason, just couldn't get into them. Lots of naughtiness! I have loved the dialogue, the illustrations and most of all, the characters. Soulless: The Manga has turned out to be an unexpectedly delightful and witty read full of vampires, werewolves, preternaturals and naughtiness. My only gripe is that we never do find out what she does have because it ends with her and Lord Maccon fornicating in a barn of some sort.not that I'm complaining on that score. ![]() The central storyline in this volume concerns what Lady Maccon will have (a soul-stealer aka preternatual or a supernatural baby), or perhaps, it might even be normal. Having been turned out by a very headstrong Lord Maccon for apparently "cavorting with others", a pregnant Lady Maccon makes an action-packed journey to Italy where she comes to reside with the Templars (who are not very nice people at all). Although, we don't get half as much as Lord Maccon as I would have liked, we do have Lady Maccon, Madame Lefoux, Floote (love that name) and plenty of Professor Lyall (he is very dreamy!) ![]() This volume was tense and hilarious in equal measure. Can she figure out what is actually happening to London's high society? Will her soulless ability to negate supernatural powers prove useful or just plain embarrassing? Finally, who is the real enemy, and do they have treacle tart? Soulless is the first book of the Parasol Protectorate series: a comedy of manners set in Victorian London, full of werewolves, vampires, dirigibles, and tea-drinking.Ahhhh, what a spiffing conclusion to a truly sumptuous steampunk tale! With unexpected vampires appearing and expected vampires disappearing, everyone seems to believe Alexia responsible. Where to go from there? From bad to worse apparently, for Alexia accidentally kills the vampire - and then the appalling Lord Maccon (loud, messy, gorgeous, and werewolf) is sent by Queen Victoria to investigate. Third, she was rudely attacked by a vampire, breaking all standards of social etiquette. Second, she's a spinster whose father is both Italian and dead. ![]() Alexia Tarabotti is laboring under a great many social tribulations.
