Manners & Mutiny

By: Gail Carriger

Narrated by: Moira Quirk

In this action-packed conclusion to the New York Times bestselling steampunk series, Sophronia puts her training to the test and decides that if one must flirt ... flirt with danger.

Lessons in the art of espionage aboard Mademoiselle Geraldine's floating dirigible have become quite tedious without Sophronia's sweet sootie Soap nearby. She would much rather be using her skills to thwart the dastardly Picklemen, but her concerns about their wicked intentions are ignored, and now she's not sure whom to trust. What does the brusque werewolf dewan know? On whose side is the ever-stylish vampire Lord Akeldama? Only one thing is certain: a large-scale plot is under way, and when it comes to fruition, Sophronia must be ready to save her friends, her school, and all of London from disaster—in decidedly dramatic fashion, of course.

What will become of our proper young heroine when she puts her years of training to the test? Find out in this highly anticipated and thrilling conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Finishing School series!

Critic reviews

"The Finishing School series goes out in style, with plenty of derring-do action, witty repartee, several surprising revelations, and satisfying romance. And, of course, some to-die-for accessories."—Horn Book

"The final installment of Carriger's quality steampunk series...is a worthy addition that is just plain fun. Carriger wraps up the plot beautifully, with plenty of mechanicals, mayhem, and mischief."—RT Book Reviews

"A satisfying conclusion.... A cutaway map of the dirigible makes it easy to follow the exhilarating adventures of these young ladies with special talents and proper manners."—School Library Journal

Almost perfect.

A fabulous end to yet another beyond amusing series by Gail Carrigar. The almost comes from Moira's depiction of Lord Akeldama. I really wish she'd listened to how his voice was done in the parasol protectorate series (which was awesome) and mimicked that (which I feel was spot on). Moira's depiction of one of the best characters made me cringe every time he spoke. I never got used to it and it really detracted from the series. Otherwise a great book I'd recommend to anyone who likes to laugh and enjoys a rollicking good adventure.

Such a fun series!

This whole series has been such a joy to listen too! I thoroughly enjoyed these whimsical, exciting, and fashionable stories :) I also loved how the author and the audio narrator brought the characters to life. If you are looking for a unique and entertaining story, I would highly recommend this one.

Best of the series

Carriger did a fantastic job on this installment. While the ending left a few little holes, nothing major. Overall it was so fantastically written and I personally loved it the most of all the others in the Finishing School Series

Moira Quirk is a Goddess!

The series is a fun romp only made better by Ms Quirk's animated and versatile voice talent.

Great ending to the story

I really loved this series, and am looking forward to more of Carriger's stuff. This had the same flavor as the last 3 books, but never seemed boring or out of ideas. You finally get to see Sefronia cut loose against the bad guys at the end, in her own special way. Awesome!

ANGELIQUE CAMEO

i love this book and this series so much, but i was listening to it and caught what i think was the first cannonical angelique appearance? bonde with violet eyes, intelligencer, dances with vieve im not sure if its a coincidence or a fun addition but it's there!

steampunk love

I love steampunk books and loves this one to the very end. lady spies, secret societies, evil genius boy's school. it doesn't get much better.

Wow, what a series!

I know this series is supposed to be for YA, but I enjoyed these books completely--and I'm a grandma. They are funny, fresh, and intelligently written. Gail Carriger took subject matter that's been written about over and over and over and somehow made it new. This is the end of the series, but I wish it was going to continue. Well, I guess I will just have to listen to all the books over again.

Even better on a re read

I love this series, soap & soohronia are my faves and I just can’t get enough!

Extremely impressed

I love all of Gail Carriger books!!!!
And Moira quirk is a great and awesome narrator
