Summary: "Sophronia's first year at Mademoiselle Geraldine's Finishing Academy for Young Ladies of Quality has certainly been rousing! For one thing, finishing school is training her to be a spy (won't Mumsy be surprised?). Furthermore, Sophronia got mixed up in an intrigue over a stolen device and had a cheese pie thrown at her in a most horrid display of poor manners.

Now, as she sneaks around the dirigible school, eavesdropping on the teachers' quarters and making clandestine climbs to the ship's boiler room, she learns that there may be more to a school trip to London than is apparent at first. A conspiracy is afoot - one with dire implications for both super-naturals and humans. Sophronia must rely on her training to discover who is behind the dangerous plot-and survive the London Season with a full dance card." - Amazon

Book two of the Finishing School Series by Gail Carriger.  I enjoyed this novel just as much as the first.  That being said, I'm not sure I will continue with the series right away.  The tone of these novels is so different, and I think I'm realizing that while I enjoy them, I cannot devour them one after another.  I need a break.  And I'm sure when I do get around to reading books three and four, I will be ready.
