Wow. Just wow. So happy I dove into this series and can't wait for the delightfully deadly. Everything was all wrapped up into a pretty bow towards the end. Silly adventures are absolutely perfect for a day off from work.

This book has a great sense of humor, interesting world-building, spy shenanigans, and a clever rule-breaking heroine. A delightful finale to a very fun series.

3.5 stars. Fun, but I always enjoy Carriger best with an ensemble, and this was a bit too Sophronia-centric, though still enjoyable.

Good Show.

Nice and neatly finishes - even with a few surprises. We all have various roles to play and not everything is ever as it seems - even Madam Geraldine.

Yes, Sophronia finishes - spectactularly. And that many hands make light work ... :)

Now I want to see if I can find the girls in soulless. I've found Vieve, but what about the rest?

Absolutely delightful ending to this chapter of Sophronia's life. She and Soap are such an OTP.

Check out my full review at Forever Young Adult.

This final book was a lot harder to get through than the previous three (I mean, just look at my Read dates; that's completely ridiculous for me). But I found the ending to be fulfilling. I had my suspicons about certain characters which were proven correct and I am now excited go back and re-read the Soulless series again to pick back out all of these wonderful characters we've now met in their youth.
