What happens when your mom sends you off to a finishing school with a bit of a twist? Etiquette and espionage, that's what. Sophronia's mother thinks she's off to become a lady, which she is, but she's also off to retrieve a mysterious prototype. Hmm.

I found the characters in the book to be enjoyable. While there's not a lot of "action" there is a lot of thrill. How could there not be with a vampire professor, a floating school, and a bunch of steampunk items!

The Finishing School has appeal for young adults and older adults equally. I'm excited to see what Sophronia is up to in the next book!
