While this series is still quite good, it seems to be slipping away from Carriger. There are a couple of important plot points that seem rushed or only half thought out. It almost seems as if she had the general points she wanted to cover but didn't know how to transition the story along them. This leads to some choppy and unlikely events. The only thing that holds the story together are the exceptionally designed characters and the interlaced humor. 
Heartless, despite an assassination attempt, starts off slower than the rest of the series and almost seems to stall out in the first half. Luckily the action and excitement really ramp up to an explosive finish. The highlight of Timeless is the baby Prudence. She, like her mother, is very talented at being a bother and causing mayhem wherever she goes. As this is the final book of the series I was disappointed with it. There are a lot of questions that remain unanswered and it seems like Carriger was really building up to another book that would wrap everything up.
Overall the series was worth the read and was entertaining, but like any series had its highs and lows.
