Campbell Award, and received the Steampunk Chronicle’s Reader’s Choice Award in YA, the Prix Julia Verlanger and Elbakin Award from French readers, and a Starburner Award in Literature for her “contributions to the steampunk community.”Miss Carriger’s novels are urbane fantasies mixed with steampunk comedies of manners. Will Sophronia be able to deduce correctly, kill discreetly, and defend stoically, all while remaining perfectly coiffed? Carriger’s works are truly unique, with no other authors writing the same fantasy-steampunk-aristocracy mash up as well as she does. Carriger also takes pains to show that the rules of society can be just as useful for her characters when strategically obeyed, as when they are broken. Sophronia is plucked from her country aristocratic life style to be trained as a spy and assassin. Carriger takes these out of sync characters and proves that there are situations that need just their sort of rebellion. The main character in the Finishing School series, Sophronia, is strong willed, and curious, exactly how a girl shouldn’t be. Where Carriger really shines is her juxtaposition of the Victorian Era ideals of femininity, proprietary, and gender roles and her strong willed and feisty main characters. Her description of the dress, style, and use of Victorian English immerses readers in her world. Carriger’s world is well researched, accurate in all things Victorian that are non-steampunk and non-paranormal. Her books cannot be considered science fiction steampunk because of the presence of werewolves, vampires, and ghosts, so Carriger calls her unique style fantasy steampunk. All of Carriger’s novels are set in an alternate, Victorian england that combines true steampunk and the paranormal. Gail Carriger is a master of combining Victorian language and attitudes, with humor and resistant female characters to create light, enjoyable tales of misadventure. Sophronia will have to be ready to defend her friends, and determine who is on her side, while remaining both dramatic, and fashionable at all times. In her final year at school, Sophronia will have to put her sleuthing and killing skills to the test as a conspiracy involving the Picklemen secret society, the werewolves, and the vampires is growing more and more alarming. The mysterious part is that Madame Geraldine's is not a school where young women learn to integrate into society as everyone assumes, but is instead a finishing school, as in a school where young ladies are turned into fashionable spies and assassins. In an England where vampires and werewolves are integrated into the highest levels of society, Sophronia has spent the last three years at Mademoiselle Geraldine's School for Young Ladies of Quality, a mysterious finishing school that floats over the moor on a massive dirigible.
