  • Blameless for loving it5

    Rebecca Campbell And now for something completely different! Soulless kept us nicely within the realms of London. Changeless had us embark on one dirigible trip to Scotland to an isolated castle. Blameless takes us on a daring dash to Italy as Lady Alexia Maccon decides she needs a break from the judging eyes of London society and goes in search of answers about herself and her condition(s).

    This is a whole new type of adventure for Alexia but not at all unwelcome. Along with Floote and Madame LeFoux, she travels to Italy, pursued by vampires who want her dead for reasons not revealed until later, to the home of the Templars. The trip there is incredibly exciting and it is difficult to put the story down because as soon as you get to a point where you may consider stopping, something happens which you have to see resolved! Things slow down somewhat once we are with the Templars but this is by no means a bad thing. Here we learn answers to some of the questions we've been pondering, especially when it comes to Alexia's condition (and I'm not referring to her soullessness).

    You may be wondering about the lack of Conall Maccon here. I know I would have been, given he is my favourite character. Well, do not fear! Alongside Alexia's story we have what is currently happening at Woolsey and within London. Admittedly Conall spends half the book drunk but this is really quite funny. But even so, he is still amazing, as will become apparent when someone tries to challenge for the position of Woolsey alpha. Professor Lyall meanwhile is investigating into where Lord Akeldama has vanished off to for he has just suddenly disappeared, along with all his drones. This is equally as fascinating as Alexia's journey and you cannot help but feel for him when you find out exactly what has happened. Even more so when that story arc concludes.

    All in all this was a fantastic read. Not necessarily my favourite of the books so far (that will still be Soulless) and I admit I had to skip to the end of this book just to see how one particular situation is resolved because I had been so crushed when it happened (this is not a fault of the book, I am just weak!). I will not spoil it for you though. However, this is by no means a book you should miss, though if you have not read the first two then you really should, especially as this one contains major spoilers for those two. by Rebecca Campbell
