The Cerulean Airship #3
Caelium
In a race against time, Edmund Asher, Earl of Wyverstone and spymaster extraordinaire, has only one choice - to win. With one month left before the Engineers World Gathering and a powerful enemy on the loose, the odds are not favouring the Earl of Wyverstone. However, an unexpected request for help from the Engineering School in Paris could be the breakthrough he has hoped for - or The Cerulean Lady’s misfortune.
The return of an old acquaintance bent on revenge doesn’t help either, bringing England’s spymaster on the verge of losing not only his position, but also the people he loves. Well-hidden secrets threaten to come to light, leaving Edmund with only one option - to catch his archenemy soon. Even if that means bending rules and joining Carmina Harcourt, the Classified Affairs’ queen of disguise, in a deadly mission in France.
Alas, as he would soon discover, the man he chases is just a cog in a more complex - and darker - mechanism, spanning not only England, but the Continent as well. And he might be too late to stop it...

Another book in the great Cerulean Airship series, and this book brings the series to a close, with all the ends neatly tied up.
If you've not read and of Ruxandra's book, I heartily recommend this one to you, especially if you like steampunk and alternative worlds. All I can say is, I wish there were airships like these that we could travel in!
Do give this series a try, you won't be disappointed.

This third volume completely swept me away. I’ve been in love with this steampunk universe from the start, but here everything feels even more intense. The characters have grown so close to my heart that every twist and every line of witty dialogue made me either smile or hold my breath.
The story is packed with action and tension — threads get tangled, people finally show their true faces, and unexpected creations take shape in ways that left me amazed. It’s the kind of book that absorbs you so much you forget about the world around you — the kind of read where you might even miss your bus stop because you can’t pull yourself out of the story.

A good finale.
Another enjoyable read. I enjoyed the characters and the plot. The setting is described well and it is well written.
I wish it wasn't the last book in the series.
