Recent Review:
Etiquette & Espionage: Finishing School #1 by Gail Carriger (received through NetGalley)
3 stars
This is my first foray into the Steampunk genre so I wasn't quite sure what exactly to expect. I found the world extremely interesting and the author does a great job of describing the mechanics of the robots and the floating ship/school. The protagonist, Sophronia, is suddenly sent away to a special finishing school that seems strange from the first moment. She is thrown into this environment that is a complete mystery and she has to learn quickly how to react to the new people (and werewolves and vampires) that she meets. Sophronia is fourteen but this is really written for a younger audience. While the setting was fascinating, not a lot happened and the characters were not really explored in depth so while I am glad that I dipped into this genre, I probably won't be continuing the series. I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
