The fifth star does not get this book because I do not like stories with vampires, werewolves and gray areas of right and wrong. Against school stories are more likely. And this offers the charming and scandalous characters and the wonderful language (note to the original: in English the book is not for beginners; language is modeled on the English in the 19th century and early 20th century - that is, either on the. German translation or wait patiently dictionary roll). In some strange way that is not entirely their fault, Sophronia Temminnick device in this school, get the finishing touches in the young people. Even more adventures in this strange school are not at all Sophronias guilt, and actually receives the final touches - and what kind of: how to set with hat boxes opponents out of action, how to fall so sent into a swoon that one is comfortable , or how in the areas rußigsten an airship best friends findet.Ja, you can also learn how to poison people, but Sophronia ... well, that's a story in itself. At least two of the characters familiar from or found again in the series of 'Parasol Protectorate' again - what the attraction of the book further increased. And Excitement is guaranteed - just like Sophronia must learn to deal with the world and to survive you only. A pure reading pleasure.
