I've also read Waistcoats and Weaponry, and now I'm rather sad because I'm stuck waiting for the final book in the series, lol. I just started reading Prudence, which chronologically follows the Parasol Protectorate books, so at least I have that to tide me over for a while. :) Lee @ Rally the Readershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03316252000736657757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873992034703741659.post-82561306641113452132015-04-22T20:21:29.464-04:002015-04-22T20:21:29.464-04:00I'd wanted to read Soulless for the longest ti...I'd wanted to read Soulless for the longest time, so that's why it ended up being my first Gail Carriger read. The Parasol Protectorate series was so, so addictive, and I was glad that the Finishing School series was available as well because I can't get enough of her writing!Lee @ Rally the Readershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03316252000736657757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873992034703741659.post-58589153808859697642015-04-19T23:26:07.929-04:002015-04-19T23:26:07.929-04:00Oh, I read this over the summer and loved it!

I actually do think of this as a MG series, though I’m not sure how it’s classified generally- it seemed like the characters and their expeditions weren’t really up to the YA level, and it’d certainly, in my opinion, be suitable for MG readers, but really it’s one of those books that is widely enjoyable- adults, YA, children alike will all enjoy it because it’s unique and suitable for all, really. I adore that in books.<br />I haven’t read Carriger’s other series, but after the brilliance of this I was certainly considering it, especially since I’d see characters again, in the future, and that’s always rather fun.<br />I’m glad this was just as wonderful a read for you as it was for me! Lovely review and here’s to book two!

I really need to start reading Gail Carriger's books. Soulless has been on the top of my TBR pile for weeks and I still haven't read it yet. I think I might get to this one first though because I'm in the mood for a delightful and fun read and this seems like just the thing.<br />Great review :D and happy reading!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600042364862403288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873992034703741659.post-64971133283613070792015-04-18T11:02:28.310-04:002015-04-18T11:02:28.310-04:00I love books that are set in Victorian England, so...I love books that are set in Victorian England, so that was a huge plus going in to both this and her Parasol Protectorate series. I also really, really love the humor in her novels.

And I don't think it really matters if you read this or Parasol Protectorate first, so no matter which series you decide to start, you're in for a lot of laughs! :DLee @ Rally the Readershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03316252000736657757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873992034703741659.post-24426767214391189662015-04-18T10:54:52.326-04:002015-04-18T10:54:52.326-04:00Prudence is my next read!

But I think that can be more attributed to the fact that though I like it, I am not overly thrilled by steampunk.<br /><br />But this certainly sounds like an interesting school in this book with some colorful characters thrown in the mix. I am glad that though this book is young adult, Miss Carriager managed to write a book that was enjoyable to you.Jadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12746143201789518072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873992034703741659.post-28623119270716270062015-04-17T17:32:34.668-04:002015-04-17T17:32:34.668-04:00To be honest, I only found out that these were som...To be honest, I only found out that these were something of a spin-off to the Parasol Protectorate not that long ago o_O Before that, I had only heard of this series^^ and had no idea the two were connected. D'oh! Anyway, I'm excited that you enjoyed this as well, especially considering how much you loved The Parasol Protectorate :D One of my very favorite bloggers has read all of the ones for this series that are out and she had a blast with all of them, so between her and you, I'm sure I'll love them as well! I seriously need to catch up on these asap^^Michelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09220874121683955988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873992034703741659.post-85465210462849467552015-04-17T09:32:32.006-04:002015-04-17T09:32:32.006-04:00I love these books!
