Manners & Mutiny (Finishing School #4)by Gail Carriger
Description:
If one must flirt...flirt with danger.
Lessons in the art of espionage aboard Mademoiselle Geraldine's floating dirigible have become tedious without Sophronia's sootie Soap nearby. She would rather thwart dastardly Picklemen, yet her concerns about their wicked intentions are ignored.
Who can she trust? Royal werewolf dewan? Stylish vampire Lord Akeldama? Only one thing is certain: a large-scale plot is under way. Sophronia must be ready to save her friends, her school, and all of London from disaster.
My Review:
A very satisfying conclusion to the Finishing School series, though I do very much want more. The overall plot builds to this final installment, where Sophronia and friends must stop a plot no one seems willing to believe exists.
I strongly recommend it to folks who enjoyed the first few in the series. I recommend reading these in order and having them all at hand so you don’t have to pause between them (you won’t want to wait).
I borrowed the audiobook from the library.
-----
As this is the final in the series, I think it important to comment on the other two series set in this world. I suspect the Parasol Protectorate series picks up somewhere after this one, though likely with different characters. It is on my to-be-read list so I’m afraid I have no further insight on the matter. That being said, I have read the Custard Protocol (books 1 and 2), and they most certainly occur after both aforementioned. These latest books use the same narrator whom I find delightful, and this provides a consistency I seek out when listening to a series. From checking the author’s website, I know more books are coming from that series, so I’m keeping a look out.
