In the final installment of Sophronia's story, she must save her school, and all of England from the Picklemans' evil plan.
I enjoyed this book as I have the entire series. I think this was a great ending to this series. Sophronia ended up with the right young man in my opinion. I like that she mostly stood on her own and finished her schooling in her own unique way.
I only wish we'd gotten more of her friends, Dimity and Agatha, in the story. I'm glad that some of the other characters like the headmistress did finally get fleshed out though.
Overall quite enjoyable and a great end to the series.

Most excellent.
A very satisfying conclusion to a wonderfully engaging, somewhat tense, yet lighthearted page-turner of a tetralogy.
The Finishing School series has turned me into a Gail Carriger fan and I can’t wait to read more for her work!
