** spoiler alert ** 
 A fittingly fabulous end to a wonderful series, "Timeless" wraps up all the major plotlines of the Parasol Protectorate series with panache. Replete with all the delights of London society, hive and pack politics, dirigible and steamer travel, and adding in a journey to mysterious Egypt, "Timeless" delivers all the whimsy, humor, adventure, and romance of Gail Carriger's earlier entries in the series. 
 SPOILERS! I was delighted by the blooming romance between Lyall and Biffy. Biffy has become more and more central to the plot as the series progressed, and I was happy to see him grow in power and find a chance for love. Prudence, the infant-inconvenience, has grown into a truly magnificent toddler in the throes of the terrible twos -- take a normal, rambunctious toddler and add in the ability to metamorphose into a vampire or werewolf simply by touch, and there you have little Prudence, fangs, furs, and frilly dresses to boot. 
 Of course, Alexia and Connall's marriage is central to the story, and their relationship continues to be one of passionate love and passionate argument. Their love story builds to a truly satisfying conclusion in "Timeless", and I can easily envision the joyous future that awaits them. 
 All in all, I highly recommend The Parasol Protectorate series, and can't wait to read whatever Gail Carriger writes next.
