Waistcoats & Weaponry is the third book in the Finishing School Series. This world is a blend of paranormal, steampunk, and some romance. I love this world so much! It’s like someone sat down and took everything that I love and put it all together. Sophronia has now been at Mademoiselle Geraldine’s Finishing School for Girls of Quality for sit months and it is now time for a review.I am not going to say anything about the plot because I do not want to spoil anything from the previous books. I really love the world that these books live in. No matter how I am feeling these books always make me smile and laugh. They are so wonderful that way.“Oh, Pill, I really would like to help, but we seem to be in the middle of some kind of whose-top-hat-is-the-biggest contest.â€As this world blossoms so does these characters. They grow so wonderfully. With each book I find myself liking each one more for different reasons. She grows each character in their own direction and yet they all work as a whole. I am not sure that makes much sense. I have tried to explain that a few different ways over the last few days and I just can’t seem to get the words out. This friend group is true friendship goals.Sophronia learns how to use most amazing intelligencer accessory a bladed fan. Sorry, I had to mention it, and it’s on the cover so not really a spoiler.I so want one!!!
This is the third book in the Finishing School series. Sophronia is enjoying school and has just begun working with a bladed fan, which she believes may become her favorite weapon of choice. Things get serious when Sidheag gets word that there is serious trouble with her pack back in Scotland. The gang form a plan to use a birthday party to get Sidheag back up to Scotland. When things go haywire with the mechanicals at the party, the group makes an escape and hijacks a train which contains a former classmate and now nemesis, working for the vampires. In addition to their mission, Sophronia is also thinking about the contrasts between Sooty and Lord Felix and the possibility of finding a patron to further her career goals. Their mission becomes more complex when they unravel a deadly plot and Sophronia must chose which side she will support.
I haven't read many steampunk books, but the first book in this series, Etiquette & Espionage (Finishing School #1), was a fun read. I enjoyed it more than this one--I missed #2, I see. That was Curtsies & Conspiracies.There are many of the earlier characters, including villains, also devices and new inventions--plus Victorian rules that the characters must adhere to--Sophronia, not so much. There's adventure, fun, mystery, and complicated relationships. The beginning is a bit slow, even though there's usually something happening, and the dialogue is enjoyable.My favorite characters are Sophronia and Bumbersnoot, her mechanimal. if you've read the first book or two, be prepared for changes and plot twists. I am curious as to how the storyline will be resolved. The fourth and last book in the series is Manners & Mutiny, and I want to know what happens next.
The dangers mount in book 3, as all the girls mature. Sophoria as usual is resistant to the budding male-female relationship potential as both Soap and young Lord Mersey are attracted to her, and even Pillman almost ends up engaged when her Mother catches them alone in the garden. In this book everyone's loyalty, values and finally their affiliation are put to the test. This is Steampunk at its best.The 3 books of this YA version predate the Parasol Protectorate and contain several characters that will reappear much more maturely in the next series. Although I have read this backwards, I believe that the most enjoyment would be in starting here and then going into the rest. The YA classification in no way subtracts from adult reading anymore than it did in the Harry Potter series. In fact those who miss HP will find Gail Carriger a witty, fun, well written series that will more than satisfy you. I am hoping for another book in the Finishing School Series as although this concluded well, I am wondering what will be happening to Soap, Lord Mersey, Sophoria and the rest.
Sophronia’s studies in espionage are disturbed when a friend of hers gets a urgent letter from home. Something troubling has happened regarding Sidheag’s werewolf pack and like a true friend and intelligencer Sophronia must do something in the matter.But like always Sophronia manages to get herself and her group of friends tangled in an even bigger scheme that concerns the Picklemen and the vampires.This, like the other books in the series, is a fast paced and fun book. Things are getting more serious and Sophrina must soon chose a side and choose where her heart lies. I’m excited to start reading the last book in this series and find out how this all ends.
