Ok this book was really different to what I was expecting, what I was expecting was a slightly supernatural spy book. However what I got was a very supernatural and a bit robot book that involved sneaking around and getting to the bottom of a mystery. It was a good book but I really didn’t understand why the robots were in the story or what they added to it especially since it was supposed to be slightly historical.
The main character is Sophronia a troublesome girl who is struggling to fit in with society as well as her family’s expectations. So she is sent to a finishing school where her mother hopes will set her in order however the finishing school just happens to train them in espionage. While at the finishing school she makes friends as well as enemies and tries to get to the problem that is facing the school. She is a fairly good main character except for her relying on a lot of other people which made her seem a little bit dependants instead of independent.
The secondary character I found most noteworthy was Dimmity, she is a girl who Sophronia meets on the way to the finishing school, she struggles most with the new school and suffers from frequent fainting at the sight of blood and a whole host of other things. She stills helps in any way she can to get to the bottom of what is happening at the school.
The storyline is really original and good fun and pacing is good and doesn’t leave everything until the last minute. I will be sticking with the series however may take some time between books because they are slightly juvenile for me.
3.5 stars
