The conclusion to the series, and it's just as enjoyable as the rest of it. I was glad to see that both Agatha and Monique were given more prominent roles - Agatha's always been the wallflower, and Monique too flatly antagonistic, and both these roles were finally subverted here, which not before time. And I continue to love Dimity. This series has always been quite strong on the supporting characters, to the point where I'm almost less interested in Sophronia than the rest, although that could be because I consistently find her romantic entanglements the least interesting part of the plot. Here, fortunately, she spends a lot of time in action-mode around the giant dirigible, which is far more entertaining. All in all, though, while I'm a little sad there aren't any more volumes in the series, it seems like a good place to finish it. And maybe the characters here will turn up in the Parasol Protectorate series, of which I've only read the opening volume thus far. That would be fun.
