![]() Ladies’ Companion Date- Tuesday, JItem ID- v. The one that, if mishandled, might bring down society as they know it.” The one that might reveal the most about this secretive intelligencer world of hers. But this is certainly the most dastardly plan Sophronia has ever had to untangle and thwart. Of Picklemen-hunting or sootie friendship-making. ![]() “As with the previous books, there is no shortage of mystery or deception, of truth-seeking or secret-uncovering. Lindsay of Me on Books says of Manners & Mutiny: The Fan Museum fan (c.1770) commemorating the union of the Dauphin & #MarieAntoinette In other news, I ran across this fan recently, and it occurred to me to wonder if there would be a commemorative fan for the ending of the mechanicals era. I did draw one of these too, and I’ve had that since the first book.Įither way, I adore that Little Brown agreed to let me have a map in my book! (You can download a digital copy of this map for free here, or you can buy a poster version from my merch shop.) She put one pretty little kid boot on the man’s chest and shoved him to lie back, coming to stand over him, pistol pointed at his head. Monique walked past Sophronia to the man. In the end, we went with the schematic, as follows: Manners & Mutiny Stupid little boys should learn to use guns and not wave them around. ![]() Just as some insider trading: we actually discussed whether to use a full internal schematic of the dirigible or if it would be more helpful to have a professional redraw my sketch above. Don’t take only my word for it however and read as many of these books as you can possibly get your hot little hands on, I can promise you won’t regret it.Many of you were gratifyingly thrilled to see an actual schematic map of the school included in this final book, but you’ll notice ti wasn’t the one pictured above. I have been known to get quite evangelical about Carriger’s works on many occasions and her books have formed the basis of several friendships. Gail Carriger writes comedies of manners mixed with paranormal romance (and sexy urban fantasy as G. Picklemen and girls alike are finished (although not in the same way), secrets are revealed, and there are more than a few tidbits for those of us who have read PP, something that caused no small amount of excited shrieking from me!Ĭarriger’s cast of characters (try saying that 10 times faster!) are varied and somehow even the most unlikable of them are likeable - I dont think there is a 2D characterisation among them! I have very strong feelings about even the least, something that has prompted two, very important questions that need answering (one of which has been whited out because of spoilers):ġ) Does Soap get the hell out of dodge before the events of Soulless? Or does he not count as a Loner by that point in time?Ģ) Where is Captain Featherstonehaugh?įull of humour and romantic moments as well as the odd murder, Manners & Mutiny, as well as The Finishing School series as a whole, is a wonderful series that I simply cannot recommend highly enough. With trademark style and wit, she brings her second series (and first YA series) to its exciting and very satisfying finale. I am unashamedly in love with this world that Carriger has built - steampunk Europe with werewolves, vampires and ghosts thrown in for good measure. Once again I find myself saying that there aren’t any lesbians when this is not entirely true… it is simply that there is only one, very small lesbian and you only know this if you have read Gail Carriger’s other series The Parasol Protectorate (which you really should) so much as I would prefer otherwise, I do feel that she hardly counts. ![]() Still reeling from the events of Waistcoats & Weaponry she must nonetheless tighten her corset laces and save Queen and Country from Pickleman threat, only it’s hard to do this when you don’t even know what that threat is! With no one believing her and the possibility of a double agent in their midst, Sophronia and friends must use all the skills they have learnt at Madame Geraldine’s Finishing Academy for Young Ladies of Quality- for the good of the Commonwealth, tasty comestibles and decent fashion sense! Our intrepid heroine Sophronia is back in the fourth and final installment of the Finishing School series. ![]()
