If you have ever thought one of the following things: that the definition of impropriety is a lioness entering a tea shop with a sign that says "No Pets Allowed," that it would be fun to fly to India in an airship, which has a flatulence problem, all to find the perfect cup of tea, and that wearing the wrong hat can ruin your social reputation, then drop what you are doing and check out Prudence by Gail Carriger. This book has everything you could want from a high-flying, steampunk story: hilarious dialogue, Victorian melodrama, a mysterious and dangerous adventure, fantastically written characters, and supernatural creatures galore. As an added bonus, you do not have to read any of the other books in Gail Carriger's Parasol Protectorate or Finishing School series to enjoy this one, although characters from each make various appearances.
