In the final installment of Sophronia's story, she must save her school, and all of England from the Picklemans' evil plan.
I enjoyed this book as I have the entire series. I think this was a great ending to this series. Sophronia ended up with the right young man in my opinion. I like that she mostly stood on her own and finished her schooling in her own unique way.
I only wish we'd gotten more of her friends, Dimity and Agatha, in the story. I'm glad that some of the other characters like the headmistress did finally get fleshed out though.
Overall quite enjoyable and a great end to the series.

I can't believe this (part of) the series is over! I know there are more books that follow our Geraldine's ladies after they've finished, but I've so enjoyed following their antics through the school that it's still sad to see it over!
I'm still not sure how I feel about Sophronia's selection of partner in the end. I love Felix AND Soap and part of me is almost disappointed she had to choose? But I also recognize it would be unfair to both wonderful gentlemen for her to continue to toy with both their hearts.
I also loved that Miss Geraldine herself was in on everything all along and NONE OF THE STUDENTS KNEW. So good. And she adopted Handle in the end so he could go on to become a doctor! So sweet!
It's such a lovely bittersweet end to the school years of these fantastic intelligencers, and I can't wait to pick up the Parasol Protectorate series after I let my brain decompress and detox from these high-flying adventures!
