There are some surprising reveals that I did not see coming! Speaking of which, I think fans of Parasol will get the most from this book as we finally see all the connections back to Alexia's story.
#MANNERS AND MUTINY SPOILERS SERIES#
Gail Carriger's trademark wit and clever dialog is back and just as delightful as ever, reminding me why I enjoy both series so much. She will need to use all of her intelligencer training if she is to have any hope of saving her friends, her school, her teachers and all of London from disaster. A large-scale plot the Pickleman have set in motion is about to come to fruition unless Sophronia acts quickly. It's the last year of school for our favorite group of students at Mademoiselle Geraldine's Finishing Academy for Young Ladies of Quality. Sophronia's training is put to its final test in Manners & Mutiny, the fourth book in the Finishing School series by Gail Carriger. If only there were more books in this series, and we could find out how Sophronia is doing now.or rather did after 1854. I really, really loved it, and I will for sure be rereading this in the future. Mademoiselle Geraldine, as suspected, was in on it all along, and that made her an even better character in my opinion. Sophronia's taking over and subsequent crashing the school was just enthralling.I was hooked till the end. The thing I loved the most was their friendship, and how they have 'finished' so to speak. I really like Pillover, and thought he might end up with Agatha.Dimity has overcome her fear of blood.mostly, and she was an amazing person in this book. The way Sophronia and Dimity and Agatha have evolved as characters was just amazing, and I loved Agatha's side plot with the already-on-an-assignment thing. I would have loved a bit of conclusion to Mersey, but then I don't know. Now, spoilers: I loved how everyone's stories tied in, and how Soap and Sophronia finally ended up together. I really loved it! It was an amazing end to the series, and it had Vieve again (I missed her a lot in the last book) but it didn't feature Sidheag. I don't think there was a moment in this book that I didn't enjoy, and I want more!!!! I loved getting this dose of the Parasolverse (Easter eggs abound!) and I’m, as always, ready for the next of Carriger’s delightful, romantic novellas.OH MY GOD THIS BOOK IS AMAZING AND I LOVED IT!!!!!!! (Babies always make for silliness and drama.) Also, it makes for silliness and drama, werewolf dandies and babies.
The plot is interesting, but not heavy, and it adds another layer to our understanding of supernaturals in the Parasolverse. The sex scenes are sweeter than those in The Sumage, less explicit which fits the tone of the story perfectly. His romance with Biffy is wonderfully balanced They are the cutest. Lyall is still his quiet and efficient self, interestingly inwardly as well. And I assume we will be seeing this pack in the future Claw and Courtship novellas! He wants to be the best leader for his pack, whom we get to meet in greater detail than we have in the previous books. Carriger is about the only author I trust with the urban fantasy alpha/beta/gamma/ trope.īiffy isn’t really bogged down by his sexuality. Both Alphas are gay and not the hyper-masculine type that the phrase generally refers to. Dear Biffy gives us a different kind of Alpha male, similar to Alex, but it’s not a rehash. I can see how writing this story got Carriger into the headspace for The Sumage Solution. Carriger is an author I’d recommend reading by publication order! And Manners and Mutiny, just to avoid any slight spoilers. This story picks up a lot of threads from that ending. There are definite tonal similarities with Soulless and I would suggest re-reading a Timeless at the very least. Maybe I’m was just that I first read Soulless on a grey and rainy English day in early November, and I read Romancing the Werewolf on a grey and rainy PNW day in late-October. It gave me so many vibes that I got from Soulless.
