Prudence The Custard Protocol Gail Carriger 9780316212243 Books Reviews

Seriously the most satisfying capitulation of both the finishing school series and the parasol protectorate. I am so glad I reread every single previous book because my goodness—what a fantastic way to tie everything together.

Prim and Rue are perfect as friends. Much as I love dimity and sophronia and ivy and Alexia, they were very unequal friendships. Prim and Rue are so equal with mutual respect for each other’s talents.

I am not sure how I feel about Quesnel yet....to be honest, Percy seems like a much better ideological match. So we will see.

In terms of the whole “how ignorant to assume only werewolves and vampires exist” I am SO SATISFIED. I am now super curious about China and North America . And I love of course the fact that Kingair is instrumental to the novel.

Overall...best book I’ve read this year (so far!)
Rue, Prim, Percy, and Quesnel take The Spotted Custard to India!

Gail has done it again. I knew I would enjoy the story because I have loved everything she has ever written, but I didn't expect a story that rivaled so the Parasol Protectorate series.

The Parasol Protectorate world, the one in which all of Gail's series are set, is the most wonderful and complete world I have ever had the pleasure of traveling to. It is somehow simple enough (or explained well enough) to not need a novel of it's own to be familiar with but still has enough going on to be thoroughly enjoyable. The main players are humans, vampires (dictating fashion), werewolves (all involved in the military), a preternatural, and a metanatural. When touching a supernatural, preternaturals remove the super and leave them in human form. When a metanatural touches a supernatural, said metanatural takes on the qualities that make the supernat super and keep the touched human until sunrise or a certain distance has been met between the two.

Prudence (the infant inconvenience of the Parasol Protectorate's main couple) is sent to India by her father to look into opening a tea-growing business. On the way there they discover the trip has turned into much more than that; they have to solve a kidnapping and a tea napping, stumble their way around Bombay, and figure out how a lioness fits into it all.

For those familiar with the preceding series, I have no doubt that this story will enthrall and excite. We see the return of many of our most beloved characters and the way some of them have grown (up) and changed is just really lovely. If you have not read the Parasol Protectorate series, please do. Prudence will mean that much more to you.

100/5 Stars
Prudence is the first book in a new series set in Gail Carriger's Parasol Protectorate/Finishing School world. It's set almost two decades after the end of the Parasol Protectorate series and features the children of the main characters from that series as they set off on their own adventures.

I enjoyed returning to this world and many of the characters. I really enjoyed the occasional peek at old characters. The one character I didn't really care for was Prudence herself. She was a little too impulsive and overly arrogant for me, as her arrogance was really based on her abilities rather than her skills and knowledge.

The beginning of the story was fun, but the plotline took a bit too long to emerge, and even when it did, it was very muddled, as if Carriger wasn't sure where she was going with the story. Most of the ending fell flat for me, though it picked up again in the last chapter as Prudence and her company pull themselves together for the next adventure.

Overall, some good characters and a solid world, but a shaky beginning to a new series. I will be reading the next book to see if Prudence can find her legs.
All of Ms. Carriger's previous books have been loads of fun, and I expected nothing less here...and I wasn't entirely disappointed. I'd give this four stars, except the sloppy editing took away some of my enjoyment--pallet, palate, and palette are three different words that mean three different things. You can't use "pallet" for all three. Just saying. One or two typos are fine, but this went beyond that--I got the impression somebody hurried through the process and didn't care. So, a one-star penalty for rushing.
Overall, this was mostly character development for what will (I hope) become a series, and very enjoyable. It lacks some of the richness of the earlier books, like "Soulless", although the author's clever use of language is thankfully still very much front and center. As other reviewers have said, you don't need to have read the Parasol Protectorate series to enjoy this, but you may find that you want to read that series to get the backstory on the adult characters.
