Fun, funny with an interesting puzzle. I feel I should read something more grown-up next...but darn it - this stuff is addictive! On to the next book in the series!
3.5 stars. So I'm wondering if lacking substance is just how this series works. It was another quick read but I'm not sure if it really accomplished anything.
Let me start off saying that I read book 3 before book 2. It wasn't awful because there was plenty of action and character development that occurred in book 2 to make me go back and read it. However there wasn't so much that happened that I was lost by skipping. If I had read them in order, then my complaint wouldn't be a complaint.
The action and character development increased with each book. So there is more action in book 3 and I am more in love with the characters in book 3. That is a good thing for the Finishing School Universe and for all those that read them in order. However for the one that read them out of order, book 2 didn't inspire as passionate a response as book 3. But I just couldn't not read it! I am in love with Sorophina, Dimity, Sidheag, Agatha, and Soap. I will take any chance I can get to hang out with them!
