I'll say the same thing about all three books in this series. They're fast reads, highly entertaining and connect so smoothly. Kat might seem a tad irritating at times, but her sharp mind, curiosity and perseverance combine to make her a formidable force. Her sisters are quite interesting as well, but both with completely different and distinct personalities. All three a joy to read. ( )

I like this series. I like spunky Kat, I like her family and her magic. I don't understand, however, why everyone is so unrelentingly mean to each other -- I get the importance of decorum in a Jane Austen world. I don't get how Kat saves the day (twice so far) and even in the third book no one sticks up for her. Even her mentor is completely useless on the matter. It gets old. ( )

I liked the earlier books in the series better but Kat is still an engaging character.

The conclusion of the Kat, Incorrigible trilogy ended with still a number of loose plot threads (that are mostly wrapped up in the follow-up novella). It was amusing to see Kat struggle with behaving properly and attempting to make a good impression on the Carlyles, while still on secret Order business. The plot is satisfyingly twisty on multiple fronts I did find the continued posturing, dramatics, and constant dismissal of Kat to be irritating. Between Lady Forthington, Mrs. Carlyle, Stepmama, and Angeline, I'm surprised Kat didn't just snap and blow up the house.

I hope we get a future story of Kat and the marquise. I adore her, and want more of her. ( )

Better. I was surprised. Pleasantly. Slow start, and in need of a slight trimming and rearranging of material. But better. Rated on a curve. 1 star better than the last one. ( )
