Etiquette and Espioage is the first book in the Finishing school-series by Gail Carriger. I read it recenty and fell in love. It reminded me of the first time I read a Harry Potter book. Naturally I can not wait the next instalment which will be published on November.
The series is set on an alternative Victorian age with a
lot of Steampunk influences. As the series name suggests it takes place
on a finishing school whic will teach you to poison, stab and spy with
the utmost cordiality at the Mademoiselle Geraldine's Finishing academy
for young women of quality.
The story begins when Sophoronia Temminnick is send to
the academy by her mother. Of course the mother doesn't know that the
academy educates young women to be not only ladies of quality but also
top notch spies for the Great British empire. Sophronia has been spotted
by a academy alumni as covert reqruit.
The relationships between Sophronia and her friends
Dimity Plumleigh-Teimgnmott, Lady Sidheag Maccon, Agatha Woosmoss, Vieve
and Soap are pictured lively and are definitely one of the best parts
of the book. The adventures they get into are made better by this.
What I must add is that the book has absolutely brilliant
lore about vampires and werewolfs that I shall leave for you to find
out when you read this amazing book.
Oh and heres the books website from which I took the pictures. It's hilarious.
