oliviaback 's review for:
Etiquette & Espionage
by Gail Carriger
2.5 stars.
When I first bought this book I did not think it would revolve around 14 year old girls. So I was quite disappointed about how young the characters and the story felt all together. Another thing that bothered me throughout the book was the way it was written. Some of the conversations in the book as quite hard to understand as it was being written in some kind of dialect. Not sure if that’s just me since English is my second language, but I found that quite hard to understand some parts.
But it was quite an interesting read, I don’t think I’ve heard about anything kind of similar regarding the plot. I do think the storyline about finishing school (in both remarks) is quite a good one, and I would love to see something alike with older characters.
I don’t think I’ll continue to read the rest of the series, but I do understand why some people compare it with the first Harry Potter books.
Who knows, maybe they all will grow in the next couple of books.
