it was amazing

Alexia and companions find themselves in Egypt in book five of the Parasol Protective. Not just Egypt but Ancient Egypt. Book 5 reminded me of Lawrence of Arabia!

Plus, Alexia finds out her late father had visited Ancient Egypt on a number of occasions!

British/European travel by steampunk dirigible. Ordinary Egyptians travel in private/family hot air balloons.

I really loved traveling in Ms. Carrier's world. It looks outwardly like our own world, but it has supernaturals and magic!

So sorry to see this first series come to an end but glad that there are more books by this author just waiting for me to try!

Highly recommended for steampunk fantasy fans, mystery fans, romance fans, Georgette Heyer fans, series fans, and fans of fast-moving plots and comedies of Victorian manners fans!
