Steampunk
From Goodreads:
A Gaslight
Chronicles Novel
Sir
Thomas Devere and Eleanor Hadrian have loved each other most of their lives—but
sometimes love doesn't conquer all.
Their
chance at happiness was ruined by Tom's hasty marriage to someone else.
Heartbroken, Nell left home, finding a new life as a teacher at a school for
the blind. But when one of her supernaturally gifted students, Charlie, is
kidnapped, Tom reappears and her worlds collide.
Tom
claims he hasn't seen his wife since the day of their marriage…yet he fears the
missing student could be his son.
The
deeper they dig, the more Tom and Nell discover: a deadly alchemist, more
missing gifted children and long-suppressed feelings neither of them is ready
for. A race on airship across England and India may lead them to
answers—including a second chance at love—but only if all of British Society
isn't destroyed first.
With Tom
and Nell’s story Ether & Elephants puts the Gaslight Chronicles to
bed. While this is primarily Tom
and Nell’s story there is a gathering where we get to see most of the previous
characters and find out how they are getting along.
Tom and
Nell’s have a back story and it comes out as the book begins. It plays a big role in how the plot
progresses. There is danger and
tension as they have to work together to solve a mystery and get rid of a
villain once and for all.
Both
have always been interesting characters and as the story progresses we see how
much they both have grown and changed.
Tom because of a rash action that broke Nell’s heart and Nell as she
left family and friends behind to live on her own. Tom becomes much more focused and Nell much stronger.
Ether & Elephants wraps up a mystery that started in previous books while allowing
us to see the characters one last time.
A very nice ending to the series.

I
received an ARC of Ether & Elephants from Netgalley in return for an honest
review.
