HER LADYSHIP'S CURSE was a quick, short and easy read. Lynn Viehl did a good job in constructing her version of Steampunk America in so few words, doing it in a very vivid and realistic way without sacrificing the plot and conflict of the story. Charmian "Kit" Kittredge was very succinct in giving us a short version of her backstory, connections and friendships it was quite easy to get lost in the fantasy. I haven't read Steampunk America like this, those that I've come across have a western feel to it and I'm not into that setting. Disenchanted & Co. feels very Victorian despite being set in the Indies plus there's a really good balance of magic, action and "reality" here which made the story believable to an extent.The ending! OMG! Thank God I have part 2, His Lordship Possessed, otherwise I'll be thumping myself on the head in suspense and frustration due to that cliffhanger! Like WTH! After all that tension, Kit and Lucien finally had their moment and lo and behold, Lucien did a total jerk move to "protect" Kit and the afterglow hasn't even faded yet! And that's how HER LADYSHIP'S CURSE concluded. Major issues still unresolved and we readers are left feeling anger and disbelief over Dredmore's audacity and duplicity. Bah! So let me binge and I'll come back to you with my thoughts on His Lordship Possessed, hopefully LViehl will show a little bit of mercy and will leave us something nice to tide us over til His Clockwork Wolf 's release.
