- Ms. Carriger began writing in order to cope with being raised in obscurity by an expatriate Brit and an incurable curmudgeon. She escaped small town life and inadvertently acquired several degrees in Higher Learning. Ms. Carriger then traveled the historic cities of Europe, subsisting entirely on biscuits secreted in her handbag. She now resides in the Colonies, surrounded by a harem of Armenian lovers, where she insists on tea imported directly from London and cats that pee into toilets. She is fond of teeny tiny hats and tropical fruit. Soulless is her first book.

We don't get a lot of world building in book one. It starts off in what one can only assume is the Regency Era of England with a steampunk twist.
We follow our main character Sophronia, and other equally oddly named characters, as she attends a finishing school for girls. This finishing school isn't your average school though.
There is humor, a mystery and a bit of coming of age as well. I will be reading the series.… (meer)
