Curtsies & Conspiracies by Gail Carriger
3.0
In the second book of Finishing School, we get to see a little of London society, explore some new valuable devices and of course see tons of espionage and emerging relationships. The society of vampires and werewolves is flushed out a little more and we meet some of the intelligences who have gone on from the school.
Overall, I really like this series and find it fun today.
My only complaint is that I do not at all like the way the author talks about her characters skin color. I understand she is trying to represent people from tons of different groups, but there are many ways to do that without comparing black people with coal smudges. That just feels off and I don't like it.
