I’ve been waiting for the new YA series from Gail Carriger since, forever. OK not forever but it felt that way. Now that I’ve read Etiquette & Espionage I’m back to counting the days (months!) until the next book is out. Grrr. I hate waiting for books.
Sophronia is more Flavia de Luce than Alexia Tarabotti — probably, in part, due to the age of Sophronia and her friends as well as the lack of supernaturals. Oh there are supernaturals, just not so many or so frequent as in the P.P. series. I wonder if we’ll get more supernaturals in future books — and more characters to help us connect the dots to the P.P. series. (the dots we were able to connect in this book were excellent. Well done, Carriger, well done.
