Etiquette & Espionage reviews:

• • Winged Frog Book Review says, “Gail Carriger…has single-handedly restored my faith in young adult.”

• • The Quiet Concert says, “FUN. Is literally the best way I have to describe this book.”

• • The Writings of AD Warr says, “The book is littered with Gail’s trade­mark humour and you can eas­ily ima­gine the main char­ac­ters from both series get­ting along fam­ously…Another one to add to the pile of books I’d shove in the dir­ec­tion of a teen­age child if I had one.”

• • The Inky Bumblebee says, “This is the second – possibly third – time I’ve read this now as it’s still just as entertaining as the first time I read it. There’s a few books that you can only ever really read once; this isn’t one of them.”

• The Adventures of Celia Bedelia says, “Sophronia makes Etiquette & Espionage worth reading because her inquisitiveness, cunning and dismissal of scruples lead to one scrape after another.”

Quote of the Day:
“Phaeton, the son of Apollo, who asked the guidance of his father’s chariot as a proof of his divine descent, but managed it so ill that he set the world on fire.”
~ Mangnall’s Questions, 1830
