![]() Anticipate reading both Prudence and Imprudence for the whole story. Prudence is a story in and of itself, but it is also the first half a love story rather than the whole love story. Indeed, not doing so would make some of the character connections slightly more mysterious. As it happens, in The Parasol Protectorate series, Carriger does explain much of the steampunk/supernatural verbiage (except claviger for some reason), but one can infer the meanings without too much difficulty, so I wouldn’t say you must read the prior series first. ![]() ![]() I wondered if this was intentional, as if the reader is meant to be a little in the dark (because immersion) or if it had all been explained earlier in time. This series is centered on the daughter of protagonists of a prior series, so there’s a great deal of overlap, and Carriger does not explain many of the terms that are frequently used in the supernatural, steampunk, Victorian setting. ![]() I checked out the audiobook for this first book in the series, Prudence, and true love was born. The synopsis of the book was slightly outrageous, so it naturally wormed its way into my brain and stuck there. The third book in this series popped up as a new acquisition in my digital library, and I jokingly suggested to Ingrid that she read it, as she had been attempting to branch out. ![]() Heat Factor: Butterflies – It’s the hint of something thereĬharacter Chemistry: Solid, but not primary to the story ![]()
