In an alternate England of 1851, spirited fourteen-year-old Sophronia is enrolled in a finishing school where, she is suprised to learn, lessons include not only the fine arts of dance, dress, and etiquette, but also diversion, deceit, and espionage.
souloftherose: Kat, Incorrigible is set during the regency period and Etiquette & Espionage is set during the Victorian period but both are books featuring a young girl who doesn't conform to society's expectations and both are a lot of fun to read.
This was a fun book. I haven't read steampunk before so this was a change for me. The names were a bit challenging at first, but they grew on me. The heroine is quite the character and I look forward to continuing her adventures in the next book. ( )
My kind of heroine. A complete klutz who's socially, if not inept, a far cry from being adept. The perfect melding of paranormal-steampunk-potboiler-mystery. Can't wait to read the rest of the series ( )

"Werewolf? Bully! We don't have any supernaturals here. It's quite a dearth in the deanship if you ask me. Any reputable school ought to have at least one vampire professor. Eton has three. You lot are only girls, and you've a vampire and a werewolf. Jolly unfair, that's what I call it."
