I'm not finished reading (and listening) to this first Soulless tale, but had to stop long enough to commend Ms. Carriger on her prolific, detailed and hilarious story. I've been rather unwell for several months and everything I've been reading has done nothing to impress my mood. Until discovering this book. Her characters are written so realistically that I can clearly see them. Very well fleshed out. Every scene, mood and thought is fresh. The ENTIRE nature of the lead character is (to me, anyway) very unusual from ANY I've read. The dialogue between the main character and a supporting character is downright hysterical. My first favorite part is the lady-like manner by which our leading lady handles the uncouth assumptions of a supernatural boor. She DOES offer him the opportunity to redeem himself and what results had my laughing so hard I didn't need to work my abs today!I bought the narration so I could do other things as I listened and am in love with the narrator and hope Ms. Carriger continues using her for subsequent books.No. I was not paid or anything for my review-I just REALLY love my new treasure in this book and new author.
I had higher expectations for this book, but found it a bit frustrating. I had thought that any romance in it was going to be more satirical of the genre (as it is what they usually devolve to), but when more than half the book was devoted to it, and what was said wasn't particularly exaggerated or satirical at all... then I can only assume that expectation was erroneous. Too many interactions and discussions about their attractions or romantic formalities, with scenes mainly reduced to, "Oh... a MAN! Tee hee!". While the main character initially states to believe the opposite (preferring a sense of independence and not caring for romance), the fact that she still eventually falls into those tropes undercut that initial character development. (Same issue I have with Pride and Prejudice)But I stuck through it as a fan of the supernatural elements. Some nice world - building in here, but the characters were lacking. Especially the main one, Miss Tarrabotti (whose name is said about 150 times per chapter... whatever happened to pronouns?). She just wasn't very active as a protagonist. Events simply happened to her, mostly out of coincidence, or from others pursuing her for whatever reason. Her presence at the climactic set piece came out of coincidence and thats just not interesting. I wanted her to be more actively investigating the events, after the first scene... but she basically stood back to try and act "proper". In the end, when another compliments her by saying, "you've proven to be a good investigator", I had to audibly exclaim out, "No... she didnt!" Because she didn't do much "investigating" at all... at best it was gossip with direct questions to her friends.But if you do like what is basically wish fulfillment romance from Victorian times, and some do... and need no more than that. (Which is fine... there's a lot of stuff i do like which also serves as wish fulfillment, too.) Then this might hit the spot for you. Just not for me.
To not put too fine a point on it, I absolutely adored Soulless! It is a smart, funny, sometimes sexy little morsel of steampunk romance brain candy. Now, first off, when you see the word "romance" in the description, please don't jump to the conclusion that I would have: that the book is chockablock with hot, steamy naughtiness. Now, in all honesty, it does have it's share of hot, steamy naughtiness (it is part romance when all is said and done, although it really has only one outright sex scene in the entire book), but it doesn't read like every action our heroine is taking is trying to lead her to her next tryst; this is Victorian England, after all, and there are certain rules and regulations one must follow before such scandalous behavior can ensue! What we have here, really, is a smart and sexy heroine who can not only hold her own against vampires and werewolves (she kills a vampire with her parasol, after all), but who can still manage to uphold the highest of societies standards and etiquette, often at the same time.Soulless is a clever book, and the notion of vampires, werewolves and ghosts being accepted parts of Victorian society is a unique approach to the urban fantasy. How our preternatural heroine, Alexia Tarabotti, falls into all this as someone without a soul who can negate the powers of the supernatural makes her all the more an extraordinary character. In fact, all of the characters are well polished gems and each stands out in their own distinct way.Carriger's writing is laugh-out-loud funny in some instances and solid throughout. I found it a refreshing read and a highly promising good start for this debut author. I'm anxiously awaiting the second in the series, Changeless.
