Okay I am just going to flail a bit here, because the Parasol Protectorate is my main source of fannish squee at the moment.

I don't know how far into Changeless you are, but all those details about why Lord Maccon left his original pack? Remember them, because they'll be important later.

mostly because my eye was caught by his Beta

This is an entirely understandable sentiment - Professor Lyall is the best ever. I desperately want to spoil his backstory for you because it is glorious and tragic, but I won't.

Your third reason: yes yes yes Gail Carriger is fantastic. Just, I love everything about the way she writes. Her blog is just as awesome.

Lord Akeldama! I currently have all the thoughts about him, which I am going to post about soon. But tell me what you think about Biffy?

omg oh, i love biffy. i think he's absolutely fantastic and i'd love to see more of him and akeldama, more of their past, more of everything. as;lkfgjhlkfdjhlkfdfd. i'm going to mow through the next two books as fast as i can, and then it'll be a LONG PANICKY MONTH waiting for the last book, i'm sure.

d;lskfjhglskfd randolph lyall. i want to have his babies. sort of. either that or i want him to be gay.

ALSO CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW AMAZING WHATSHERNAME IS? genevieve. wow, i can't remember her last name even though her first is only mentioned, like, twice. whooooops. anyway i totally called the flirting and the past relationship and just, YEP. YEP EVERYWHERE. GLLLLEEEEEE.

I knowwww! I hated the end!

He is gay. Once you find out who he was in a mutual relationship with, you will scream even louder. Trust me.

Epic shit goes down on the Biffy/Akeldama front in Blameless, and you will probably cry, so have tissues ready. But Biffy is much more important in the latter books, and we are apparently getting vampire backstory in general in Timeless.

Yes we can! She's not one of my favourites, but she is still so so awesome! In Blameless Alexia and Genevieve and Floote go to France and Italy and have adventures and it is glorious. And she is really important to the plot of Heartless.

Yes yes, of course they do. He just needs time to recover from being an idiot.

shush i don't cry at books that aren't Infected

You willlllllllllll. There are two parts, one at the end of Blameless, and one about halfway through Heartless. I cried, and I never cry at books.

Okay, I actually cannot wait to see your reaction to his backstory now. No, I'm not going to tell you.

i will make sure to post about it when i do. and about everything. i just basically was tired of being like 'OMIGAWD GUISE THIS BOOK IS ~THE BEST~' when i said that about every series i've started lately. BUT I'VE BEEN READING REALLY GOOD ONES. mostly because the ones that don't capture my attention, I don't maul my way through like a rabid bear.
