 Still super-fun! Sophronia is in her second year at Mlle. Geraldine's Academy for Finishing and excelling at everything she does when she is truly put to the test: her friends turn their backs on her, the boys from their brother academy are aboard visiting, and the dirigible sets a course for London, reasons unknown. Oh and someone is after Dimity and her brother. You know, business as usual. 
 Curtsies and Conspiracies was just as much fun as the first novel, maybe even more so. We get more character time, Sophronia has even more self-confidence to spy on things at her own school, so we get to learn the inner workings much more intimately. 
 I sense a love-triangle forming! Remember the guy she ditched at her sister's coming out ball in book 1? He's one of the boys aboard the dirigible while they glide to London, and he wants Sophronia and isn't afraid to go after her. Except, maybe she might like Soap the sootie after all? And I sense a sweet, yet taboo romance forming between Sophronia and Soap. Some people don't like love triangles, but when they are genuine and natural, I do! Gimme gimme! 
 The plot thickens as unknown people try to go after Dimity, and for unknown reasons, and meanwhile, the school's teachers are completely unaware of the shenanigans of their students. 
 Yeah, so about that: they are supposed to be teaching the future spies of Britain, but they have no idea what Sophronia and company get up to? Look, I like this story a lot, but I call BS. That would be like me believably teaching math. And I can't math. 
 It ends well, although I am curious what happened to Prof. Braithwope after he took to the skies to "untether" in the outersphere. Is he okay? Will he recover? I guess I have to listen to the next one to find out! Sophronia's concerns about him were touching. 
 Completely satisfying story, can't wait to listen to the next one!

 Do I even need to say it? Moira Quirk rocks!
