I still don’t understand the purpose of this series’ existence. The third was not good and this finale did nothing. I was not impressed by the first two books. I don’t know what to say about this series. It’s hard to say goodbye, but what makes it bearable is knowing that there’s more of Carriger’s humor to come.
I finished this book with a smile on my face, content with leaving my characters right where I wanted them, happy and true to themselves. I suppose I should have trusted Carriger more because she found a very elegant way of giving us all what we craved. While I knew how I wanted it to go, I saw no possible way for it to end like that. I was a bit afraid for the romance in this one, to be honest. But she wasn’t not the only one to show admirable growth in this book – her friends, including Agatha, have all become so much more courageous and quick-witted than ever before. She makes her own rules and lives by them bravely, which is a quality I admire and hope some younger readers will adopt. I have to reiterate how much I loved Sophorinia in this book, braver and more resourceful than ever before. Carriger did an excellent job of concluding the overall storyline with a bang. There are guns and explosions, secrets and revelations. It’s funnier, faster, more romantic and more dangerous. No more than a mischievous girl when we first met her, we’re leaving her as someone else entirely, a highly trained, sophisticated girl, but still with that familiar devil-may-care attitude.Įverything is bigger and better in this final installment.
MANNERS AND MUTINY EPUB GAIL CHARINGER SERIES
As silly as this series was most times (and really, silliness is what Carriger does best), we’ve still seen Sophoronia grow up to become a skilled, self-assured young woman. Sophoronia in particular is very easy to love, and so very competent to boot! I loved her in this book more than I ever loved her before. Each of them is a small work of art, an unforgettable combination of oddities and personality traits. It was very easy to fall in love with these characters and their quirks yet again. It is with a heavy heart that I say goodbye to Gail Carriger’s Finishing School series, albeit knowing without a doubt that this wonderful author will give us so much more to enjoy.
