“As always with Gail Carriger's books, this was a hoot! I'm always eager to listen to her books on audio as they are so well done with the proper accents and connotations. And the quirks of her characters are amplified with the audiobooks. At this point I do not see that there is any other way of absorbing them! This book is Percy's story and we get a new character introduced who is Scottish! So yes, we get a fabulous Scottish accent and it's brilliant! As always the story was fantastic, the characters were wonderful and many laughs were had. Absolutely cannot wait for MORE by her!”

Description
Bookish and proper Percival Tunstell finds himself out of his depth when floating cities, spirited plumbing, and soggy biscuits collide in this delightful conclusion to NYT bestselling author Gail Carriger's Custard Protocol series.
Percival Tunstell loves that his sister and her best friend are building themselves a family of misfits aboard their airship, the Spotted Custard. Of course, he'd never admit that he belongs among them. He's always been on the outside - dispassionate, aloof, and hatless. But accidental spies, a trip to Japan, and one smart and beautiful doctor may have him renegotiating his whole philosophy on life.
Except hats. He's done with hats. Thank you very much.
