Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. This series is fun and entertaining, I enjoy the spunky characters and the Victorian Steampunk world. ( ) I absolutely loved Etiquette & Espionage, and I'm glad to say I enjoyed Curtsies & Conspiracies just as much. I'm even starting to wonder if I could recommend these books to my sister, who is not a fantasy reader at all. Curtsies & Conspiracies continues much in the same vein as the first instalment: a steampunk finishing school situated abort a giant dirigible for young ladies of quality, where they both learn how to conduct themselves in society (e.g. how and when to faint, to blush and to bat their eyelashes) and to simultaneously gather information, carry and use weapons and possibly murder someone. All of course with poise and grace. The heroine of the story has a heart, befriends all the likeable people around her, and inspires loyalty in others as well. She's also quick on her feet and unconventional, even if she's having some problems in blushing becomingly. This book can at times be absolutely hilarious, but it also has a more serious note when Sophronia discovers that her actions have consequences that she might not have wished for. I'm glad the next instalment is coming out soon: I can't wait to see where this is going next! Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
