Really, I did not expect this to feel so young It has such a middle grade vibe And contains some immature characters.The flywayman with the gun struck the headmistress across the face with his free hand Oh dear, said Sophronia Violence She suppressed panic and a strange urge to giggle She d never before seen a grown man actually hit a woman.Whaaat And that would make you, Sophronia, giggle shakes head I didn t like her as a character until maybe 75% of the story, when she seemed to have a little [...]

2.5 stars, rounded up because I m feeling particularly generous today Before any of you start plotting my painful and untimely death, I should point out that I m a big fan of Ms Carriger s previous work The Parasol Protectorate series is a favorite of mine, despite losing some steam in the later installments However, I don t think Etiquette and Espionage was up to her usual standards, and it makes me very sad that I didn t enjoy it as much as I d hoped I would It took me a while to put my though [...]

Well Well well well I think I ll have to go back and give the adult series set in this alternate steampunk Victorian world a try.Despite my stumbling over the affected narrative style at the outset, I ended up being entirely swayed by its charm and cleverness, and I enjoyed the book so much that I was disappointed when it was over I wanted it to continue, perhaps indefinitely It reminds me very much of Terry Pratchett s Tiffany Aching series in its lighthearted silliness and droll humor, though [...]

Super cute Super sassy Super witty.Strike that It looks like I m trying to sell glitzy fashion to tweens 3.25 stars But it is super cute and fun and all that stuff Werewolves are wearing top hats Just the names alone are awesome, and I really hate off the wall names 99% of time, but how can you not love the idea of mechanical butler named Frowbritcher I m pretty sure that Carriger is one of the only people who can pull off all of the strange names with finesse.And I don t even know what this mea [...]

A cute, young adult book with a steampunk theme that takes place at a finishing school which isn t about etiquette at all.I made the mistake of reading this without realizing that it was based in a world from another series of books I m guessing that I would have enjoyed it if I had read the other set first.Etiquette and Espionage had plenty of fun moments in it One of my favorites is when Sophronia inexplicably claims that werewolves enjoy the theater From one of the other books I m assuming s [...]

See reviews at YA Midnight Reads 2.5 stars Practice your eyelash fluttering, ladies Six rounds of one hundred each before bed I took the big mistake when I read Marie Lu being quoted on my copy of Etiquette Espionage I wish I could attend a school as fun as this finishing academy It is the perfect steam punk version of Harry Potter After observing this, I assumed that the book was just as good as Harry Potter RIIIGHT It literally has my name written all over it LITERALLY I was wrong The prequel [...]

Now I need a book about possessed unicorns, poisonous bunnies and violet bananas, because I have to read something that can get me out of this state of utter boredom.The main fault of this book is the inexplicable absence of a plot I kept on wishing something would happen, but nothing really did at least not until 38% of the book, when I finally had enough It was just a never ending list of mechanical parts, dirigibles, bonnets and petticoats.I had great expectations of epic escapes on dirigible [...]

Hummm well I sort of hesitated on the rating for this one I mean I don t think I ll be reading the rest of the series, at least not right away, but I did enjoy the bookly.What we have here is a young woman in an alternate England of lords and ladies with very proper etiquette, not to mention stiff collars and lots of frills Sadly 14 year old Sophronia does not fit in She put me in mind of the song from The Sound of Music rnh videosml video She is a great trial to her mother, especially since her [...]

I have wanted to read this series but a while now and when I received the third book for review, I figured now was as good as a time as ever to start it Instead of reading it I decided to give audiobooks one try, after all, why not I could get so much read if only I could listen to books throughout the day while also doing other things so I decided this was the place to start and hoped like heck I wouldn t regret it.Can I just tell you that I am so glad I listened to this on audio It was so mu [...]

So I got about a third through this book It wasn t what I thought it would be While I was expecting refined, suspenseful, and deadly, it was silly and humorous with a generous dash of outrageous fantasy Once I got used of the idea, I was really liking it Steampunk is quite interesting However there were a few minor things here and there and then they introduced werewolves and vampires, and no matter how light the feel, I just don t like good werewolves and vampires So I decided it wasn t so muc [...]

I picked this book up at my local Dollar Tree store I had heard of this series before so when I saw it I just had to get it I have never read the Parasol Protectorate series so I was a bit unfamiliar with the world Regardless, this book was still lot of fun My only issue was that the ending felt rushed.

What I thought I was going to read A book about a girl that learns how to kill people in a Nikita like way in a steampunk setting What the book is really about A somewhat boring girl from 1800s in a steampunk world of vampires and werewolves whos family wants to to be girly so they send her off to a school and they have no idea she will be learning how to kill people in an almost boring way This book would have been so much better if Carriger didn t add in supernaturals So many YA books have fo [...]

5 Words School, friendship, class, spying, betrayal.No dumbing down for a Young Adult audience in this wonderful start to the Finishing School series Instead, the author keeps things mature as she should.The voices of the characters are perfect for their age and there are some familiar faces for those who have read the Parasol Protectorate novels Different fashions to imagine, different technologies to wrap your head around and new questions blossoming in your head As a separate series this is w [...]

A YA steampunk Victorian era thriller with a vampire a werewolf not exactly my normal read, but I chuckled most of the way through it Good old sloppy English leads to punny situations this is one where a daring young lady with unfashionable tom boy tendencies gets sent off to one of the finest finishing schools that not only teaches manners, but espionage murder It s pretty well summed up when a teacher asks what ladies do in crisis Assess any damage to one s attire A lady is never disreputable [...]

Heasted an unassuming mustache, which was perched atop his upper lip cautiously, as though it were slightly embarrassed to be there and would like to slide away and become a sideburn or something fashionable After reading that amusing quote, I just had to read this book and I didn t regret it one bit Fourteen year old Sophronia Temminnick is intelligent, curious, spirited and something of a tomboy After getting into one too many trouble, Mrs Temminnick decides its time to send Sophronia to Made [...]

See reviews at my blog.This book is pure, whimsical fun I admit, I was not in the right frame of mind to enjoy this the first time I picked it up It s got a very lighthearted approach to worldbuilding, and I it wasn t until my second attempt that I actually appreciated that But once I was in the mood for a carefree adventure, this was just the perfect fix for it.Etiquette Espionage had a very early Harry Potter feel to it, and I know it s irritating to hear everything called the next Harry Pott [...]

Alt 1854, young girl is shipped off to finishing school, where she learns important lessons in deportment, manners, and the intricacies of assassination, among other relevant topics All in pursuit of goals never explained for political purposes never elucidated because guys, that is so not the point.I feel like this book is almost deep Like this twisted portrait of nineteenth century education the juxtaposition of fashion with poison, the way lessons in eyelash fluttering serve both social and s [...]

Once again, I thoroughly enjoyed reading of Gail Carriger s writing in this book This is the first one in a spin off series which is set within the same world as the Parasole Protectorate series but a few years earlier There are some crossover characters and contraptions, and we also see a few new characters too It s a romp and a mess and a spiffing adventure all rolled into one.This story follows Sophronia, a young lady of fourteen who is thoroughly uncontrollable Sophronia is a nuisance to he [...]
