God what a beautiful ending to the "Finishing School" series. This story neatly wraps up Sephronia's tale in a nice bow, but open-ended enough to leave the reader to speculate what she and her friends do with the rest of their lives. Sephornia's main goal throughout tuis book is to foil the Picklemen's evil plot when they start attacking the derigible school. This story I would say focuses more solely on Sephronia than the other books in this series, where they also had a little more involvement of her friends. Though, Agatha has proved to be a force to be reckoned with. You even meet old friends from the Parasol Protectorate series and hear (albeit briefly) about Ms Tarabotti herself. In this story, Soap and Sephronia finally get together and admit their feelings for one another mutually. Which is much needed after the pining whe have read about for 4 books now. I joke they live happily has lovers together, as they deserve.
