Carriger’s new series, The Custard Protocol, follows
Prudence, daughter of the Maccons, the protagonists from her last series, The
Parasol Protectorate. Rue and her
friends, Prim, Percy and Quesnel are being sent to India by Rue’s vampire
guardian, Lord Akeldama, to find out what has happened to his tea. In Rue’s new dirigible, The Spotted Custard,
the group encounters new types of were animals and find out that there is much
more going on in India besides some missing tea. Unfortunately, no one seems inclined to
explain exactly what they are dealing with.
Although I thought this was pretty good and liked the characters, I’d
agree with Ed W that it isn’t as good as the first series, or even the YA
series. The whole book seems more
focused on character development than plot.
However, I liked the characters and I plan to read more in the series as
they come.
