11/13/2023 0 Comments Manners and mutinyI loved the classroom stuff (espionage training!) even though there wasn’t much of it. Overall the series was just meh – middle of the road for me. And for whatever reason, one of the love interests was called “Soap.” Stupid. Like something you’d name a posh little white dog. Sophronia just seems like a stupid name to me. This is petty, but I found myself annoyed at the name choices for the characters. While the culmination of the whole series was decent, the character development still left me wanting. Heck, half the time I didn’t even understand her motive for the things she did, let alone a complex character exploration. This is probably one of the reasons I feel the characters and the series as a whole lacked depth. The main character ended up exactly where she started and had very little internal conflicts to work through in the series. I’m glad I broke tradition and actually read all of these books back to back.Īnother thing that was missing was any sort of meaningful character growth. It’s a small wonder I finished each book feeling slightly unsatisfied. Everything that came before was just set up. In every aspect, from the love interest to the external conflict, and even down to the big reveals of the story, nothing showed significant progress until the finale. Instead of having every book be self-contained with a satisfying mini arc, each one only served to progress one overall arc of the four book series. It wasn’t until I got to this final book and found out where the story has been culminating to this whole time that I realized what the previous books were lacking: a plot arc. I finally figured out what has been missing in this series. What will become of our proper young heroine when she puts her years of training to the test? -Goodreads What does the brusque werewolf dewan know? On whose side is the ever-stylish vampire Lord Akeldama? Only one thing is certain: a large-scale plot is under way, and when it comes to fruition, Sophronia must be ready to save her friends, her school, and all of London from disaster–in decidedly dramatic fashion, of course. She would much rather be using her skills to thwart the dastardly Picklemen, yet her concerns about their wicked intentions are ignored, and now she’s not sure whom to trust. The Overview: Lessons in the art of espionage aboard Mademoiselle Geraldine’s floating dirigible have become tedious without Sophronia’s sweet sootie Soap nearby.
