Highlight here for trigger warnings: fire, explosions, death, blood, serious injury I require to know it alllllllllĪnd OF COURSE THIS IS FIVE STARS ARE YOU STUPID?!?!?! This has a rating of 9.29 which is one of the highest ratings I’ve seen on this spreadsheet this year! Not *that* series, not the Pellinor books. This is the first book of my life that has made me want to read fan-fic. And I am living for Sophronia’s daring deeds and ridiculous exploits. I love how it links back to events of the previous books whilst still moving forwards in the plotline. MANNERS & MUTINY is the fourth book in the series, so you’ll need to read Etiquette & Espionage, Curtsies & Conspiracies.

“Gail Carriger has a distinctive voice I still can’t quite describe other than to say that she has a talent for describing the most ridiculous things with a sly helping of droll humor.” In other words, she’s fantastically entertaining, just like this book.” “In classic Carriger fashion, Sophronia is the embodiment of cleverness, bravery, and falls woefully short of the societal definition of a lady.
