I felt, by the end, that there hadn't been much development of affection between Faith and Channing, but I'm not sure if that was part of the novella itself, or simply because I missed too much since i kept being distracted.Drey's work attire is a dark gray secruity uniform. I also though it an odd choice to have Faith's thoughts narrated with a British accent, when she is an American character. I could tell that the narrator struggled to maintain the accent she used for Faith's speech- it slipped into something closer to a southern drawl frequently (not fitting for a character from Boston, as we are told many times Faith is), and even more Australian sounding a few times. The narrator has a lovely voice and changes her voice well to suit different characters, but her American accent was pretty bad, and I found myself too distracted by it that the story itself wound up feeling kind of rushed and lackluster. I generally enjoy Gail Carriger's books, but this one might be best read oneself. Set in the spring of 1896, this story occurs after events chronicled in Romancing the Werewolf. This book can be enjoyed without having heard any of Gail's other works. The Claw & Courtship novellas can be heard in any order. Look out for appearances from favorite characters and the serious consequences of unwarranted geology. But this werewolf has good reason not to trust human women.Įven if they learn to love, can either of them forgive?įrom the best-selling author of the Parasol Protectorate series.
