A review by daffodill37
Etiquette & Espionage by Gail Carriger

4.0

Although I believe this book was written for a much younger audience, I REALLY enjoyed it. I found the world built for us to be very interesting with the steam punk mechanicals and a dirigible for a school. I loved how our group of girls grew closer, chosing to help one another and become friends when they could have chosen to see each other as competition. There was some blatant racism and sexism in this book but it really felt like it was written very intentionally and very tongue-in-cheek. Like it was intended to sound absolutely ridiculous that people could feel that way. At least, that's how it sounded to me. Which I enjoyed and laughed at. I'm looking forward to seeing what our little gang does next and hoping for some further character development in the second book.
