It will all lead to a series of derring-do worthy of James Bond! The Characters What could they possibly want? Why take this chance? Infiltration by Picklemen of the school sets off Sophronia’s mental alarms. There are quite a few surprising revelations in this, and what with Carriger so beautifully tying everything up and then leading me on to wanting, no, needing to re-read The Parasol Protectorate, and then I can finally read The Custard Protocol series! Characters from Finishing School carry on into both, and I do love following characters throughout their “lives”. She certainly kept me on tenterhooks! And such a conclusion…! Carriger does a lovely job of exploring social class and bigotry in the burgeoning relationship between the two. There’s a lovely minor conflict in Manners & Mutiny in the changing relationship between Sophronia and Soap. What was next? A ruthless bout of ballet?” “Last time all they’d done was have sing ‘Rule Britannia!’. Or that emotions affected the size and quality of one’s endowments! Sigh…*as I laugh* Manners & Mutiny was great fun what with Sophronia infiltrating the dirigible, going against the odds to take down the hijackers using the “arts” she’s learned, lol.ĭang! I wish I’d known much earlier that breast-pampering foodstuffs existed.

You can’t help but fall into the enjoyment. The story itself is fun with all sorts of undercurrents and minor conflicts. Nor does she limit her inventiveness to the names or lessons. She has such fun blending finishing school requirements with espionage tactics for refined young ladies…! “Working on a language for crumb and currant communication” indeed! Then there are the names! Oh, lordy, Carriger is incredibly inventive with those silly names, lol. Do read this series before you start The Parasol Protectorate, if only because the characters in this one lead into the next series. Other books by this author which I have reviewed include Heartless, Timeless, Etiquette & Espionage, Curtsies & Conspiracies, Waistcoats & Weaponry, Soulless, Changeless, Blameless, Prudence, Imprudence, Competence, Reticenceįourth and last in the Finishing School steampunk YA series and revolving around Sophronia Temminnick and her friends and set in the skies of 1854 England.
