Manners & Mutiny by Gail CarrigerMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
***2021 Dog Days of Summer***
It's time for my summer theme and this year I have chosen to read books that include canine companions. This series includes a mechanical dog (a mechanimal), Bumbersnoot. He's a semi-illegal contraption that our main character, Sophronia, has smuggled into her finishing school. More of a companion than an assistant, Bumbersnoot is seldom far from his mistress.
In this final installment of the Finishing School series, Sophronia must put all of her intelligencer education to use. When her dirigible-based school is evacuated and hijacked by Picklemen and Flywaymen, she must count them and devise a plan to block their nefarious schemes. Old enemies transform into allies and old flirtations lose their fillip. But one young werewolf makes his mark on our heroine.
This series is set before the Parasol Protectorate books, but the next follows later characters, namely Alexia's daughter Prudence (whom I suspect may be misnamed). I look forward to further adventures in Ms. Carriger's world.
