Story
Nahri has never believed in magic. Certainly, she has power; on the streets of 18th-century Cairo, she’s a con woman of unsurpassed talent. But she knows better than anyone that the trades she uses to get by - palm readings, zars, and a mysterious gift for healing - are all tricks, both the means to the delightful end of swindling Ottoman nobles and a reliable way to survive. But when Nahri accidentally summons Dara, an equally sly, darkly mysterious djinn warrior, to her side during one of her cons, she’s forced to reconsider her beliefs.

In the far distant future, the universe is officially ruled by the Royal Consortium, but the High Councillors, the heads of the three high houses, wield the true power. As the fifth of six children, Ada von Hasenberg has no authority; her only value to her high house is as a pawn in a political marriage.

The spirited princess flees before the betrothal ceremony and disappears among the stars.

Beth and Jennifer know their company monitors their office email. But the women still spend all day sending each other messages, gossiping about their coworkers at the newspaper and baring their personal lives like an open book. Jennifer tells Beth everything she can't seem to tell her husband about her anxieties over starting a family. And Beth tells Jennifer everything, period. When Lincoln applied to be an internet security officer, he hardly imagined he'd be sifting through other people's inboxes like some sort of electronic Peeping Tom.

Two years ago, Louise le Blanc fled her coven and took shelter in the city of Cesarine, forsaking all magic and living off whatever she could steal. There, witches like Lou are hunted. They are feared. And they are burned. As a huntsman of the Church, Reid Diggory has lived his life by one principle: Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. But when Lou pulls a wicked stunt, the two are forced into an impossible situation - marriage. Lou, unable to ignore her growing feelings, yet powerless to change what she is, must make a choice. And love makes fools of us all.

Serpent & Dove By Shelby Mahurin
- By Amazon Customer on 2019-10-22
Written by: Shelby Mahurin
Publisher's Summary
Introducing the Custard Protocol series, in which Alexia Maccon's daughter, Prudence, travels to India on behalf of queen, country--and the perfect pot of tea.
When Prudence Alessandra Maccon Akeldama ("Rue" to her friends) is bequeathed an unexpected dirigible, she does what any sensible female under similar circumstances would do: she christens it the Spotted Custard and floats off to India.
Soon she stumbles upon a plot involving local dissidents, a kidnapped brigadier's wife, and some awfully familiar Scottish werewolves. Faced with a dire crisis (and an embarrassing lack of bloomers), Rue must rely on her good breeding--and her metanatural abilities--to get to the bottom of it all.

Fun, upated YA airship Victoriana
Proper airship adventuring. The new destinations and characters enlarged and enlightened the world in a charming and satisfying way. Rue is a great protagonist, possibly more fun to follow than her mother, and the crew dynamics are believable and entertaining.

a phenomenal first book to this series
This book was so good I couldn't put it down and listened to it in two days!
In good Gail Carriger fashion it had witty humor that had me laughing out loud many times. It also had teasing of some romance and a tonne of adventure.
One thing to note is I wish the narrator had listened to the previous books OR the producer of this audiobook had noted to her how the other narrator pronounced some of the names.
Macon, BUR, Queen Nadishine and Uncle Rabiffano were some of the differently pronounced names/titles. Now that was not Moiras fault if she was never told and had not listened to the books previously. It just took some getting used to. I already downloaded the second book and can't wait to listen!

I enjoyed this next phase of the Parasol Protector
The story picks up 20 years after the last Parasol Protectorate book. Prudence is a worthy successor to Alexis. Moira Quirk is also very good. As always, it takes a few chapters to get used to a new narrator, but she is excellent. I found this book to be a bit more "young adult" than the previous series. Unexpected, but still good. Roo and Prim are just who they should be.
