Summer '17 Book 8

Finishing School: Book the Third: Waistcoats & Weaponry by Gail Carriger

First, I would just like to say that, apparently, today is the fifth anniversary of this blog! Thanks to those of you who have stuck with me through this. All two of you. :) Seriously, this has been fun for me, and sometimes therapeutic.

This one picks up about a year after the events in the second book. Near the beginning, Sighead receives some terrible news, and misses some school. She turns up at the engagement ball for Sophronia's older brother, and we find out that the terrible news is that her grandfather is no longer in charge of his werewolf pack. Sighead has had to choose her loyalties, and she chose the pack, even though they were going to commit an act of treason.

Sighead needs to get to her pack in Scotland, so Sophronia, Soap, Dimity, and Felix set out on an adventure to get her there. Along the way, they run into Monique, up to her old habits of being a troublemaker.

One aspect I really enjoyed was the Sophronia-Felix-Soap love triangle. Obviously, Sophronia has feelings for both boys, but for different reasons. I was a bit sad at how their triangle ended, but it had to happen eventually. If nothing else, Sophronia has decided where her loyalties will lie after finishing school.
