5 stars

A wonderful coming of age romp with all sorts of girls... a laconic fighter, a bauble-obsessed babbler, an insecure shy girl, and the main character, a mechanical tactician. They band together to survive a Victorian era finishing school, and help each other along the way. Their adventures are exciting and fun and perfect for the not-so-girly girl in your life. I'm definitely looking forward to the next installment!
