YA Fantasy: Finishing School Book 2 (After Etiquette & Espionage) related to the Soulless series.
Excellent installment, and even better than the
first (which I thought was a bit weak, compared to Soulless). Sophronia
is finishing up her second term of her debut year at the
dirigible-housed mock-Finishing School for young ladies of espionage.
Her mid-term grades are excellent, but she's been shunned by the entire
student body because of them. No worries - she's got plenty to keep
her occupied: the Sooties (especially Soap), the invasion of a
deployment of Apprentice Evil Genusi from their opposing school
(especially Felix, Lord Mersey, he of the unfortunate cut during the
climactic dance in E&E), and the interesting question of the crystal
relay that Veive is working on in secret, and several of the professors
are involved in - even more secretly!
Wheels upon wheels turn rapidly, and there are many
more parties involved in the action this time around, which makes for
occasional confusions. However all is forgiven by the appearance of a
certain foppish rove vampire who shall remain nameless for the purposes
of avoiding unnecessary spoilers.
