The below reviews are intended to be short, and easily read within 1 minute. All reviews are my own personal opinions, and I would love everyone to share their opinions as well. I read a lot of Fantasy Books (with the occasional historical fiction and thrilled thrown in), therefore my reviews are generally based on 3 things:
World Building - Is the world of the book worth spending time in?
Characters - Am I able to connect with the characters, or find them interesting?
Plot - Is the plot engaging and does it leave me wanting more?
Manners & Mutiny
This final chapter more or less starts off like those before it… Sophronia continues to insert herself into situations and always finds herself getting into whatever trouble can be found. As this is the climax of the series though, all of the action and adventure in this book is heightened, with great consequences for all those involved.
Waistcoats & Weaponry
Unlike the previous 2 books in the series, this book mostly takes place outside of the finishing school. There is a dramatic event that takes place and affects Sidheag’s werewolf family, so Sophronia and the rest of her gang take it upon themselves to try and get Sidheag back to her pack in Scotland.
Curtsies & Conspiracies
This book dives even further into Sophronia’s steam punk spy school world. There is so much more context provided to the various characters and groups in this world.
Etiquette & Espionage
If you are familiar with Gail Carriger, then Etiquette & Espionage will be a familiar romp into the same world. This book and series take place in a time before events in some of her other books. You do not have to have read any of Carriger’s other books before starting this series. In fact, this is actually a great jumping off point to dive into this world.
