About this listen
The post of Head Girl of Whitehall looks fantastic on anyone's resume. It places the lucky winner on equal terms to the staff, granting them authority, power, and responsibility that no other student can even dream of possessing. A student lucky enough to win the coveted post is destined for greatness. Everyone will want to know their name.
Naturally, Emily doesn't want it.
But when she returns to Whitehall for her sixth and final year, she discovers that the staff has elected her to the post - and refusal isn't an option. Worse, the Grandmaster wants her to run his pet project - a formal dueling club - even though it's the last thing she wants to do. Reluctantly, she starts to carry out her new duties, unaware that deadly enemies are waiting in the shadows, preparing themselves to strike at her when her back is turned. Someone is spreading rumors about her, someone is sabotaging her projects, someone is weakening the ties that bind her to Whitehall.
And, as matters start to spin out of control, as the life and soul of one of her closest friends is thrown into terrifying danger, Emily must decide between carrying out her duties or walking away, knowing that either choice will cost her dearly...and leave her alone at the center of a deadly storm.

This series WAS so good
This series WAS so good, yes it had a few niggles such as often repeating information we know well from previous books, throughout the series she goes through extreme trials, takes on leadership roles and yet still acts very immature. Freida is only a year or two younger than Emily and yet up until the last book, she is made out as if she's a 12 year old kid, and finally, why on earth would anyone think it a good idea to introduce gun powder and weaponry. With the exception of agricultural use, I can't think of anything positive that its introduction brought to our world.
Ok that's quite a lot but we are up to the 13th book. Up until this book I have really enjoyed all them, binge-listening one after another, but this book is full of the filler we already know and its boring, nothing is happening. I will listen to the next book in the hope it gets back to the ever-changing, interesting tale, after all at $15 per book for very short stories, they aren't exactly cheap.
BTW, I get the feeling she would be far better off steering clear of relationships with men, she seems much happier with women, she would be better off being in a relationship with Freida.

Don’t normally write a review
But this time felt I should, there were times through this story, I became frustrated with Emily 😱😱😱how could she not pick up what was wrong with Freda until so late in the story, and how could she be so wishy washy with her, when she was obviously needing severe disciplining for her own good 😥😥 I hope she picks up her game, and finds her brain cells, I have spent a lot of money so far on these books, and was enjoying them until this one, I am off to listen to the next, will let you know, if she finds her mojo, and I continue getting the rest.

Performed well, no real content
I enjoyed the performance, after listening to the last 12 books I really don't want to quit the series now, but nothing really happens in this story. She goes to school and has trouble with her friends until right near the end when there is a fight.
Certainly disappointed after the previous stories in the series.

No conclusion
I sometimes have problems with males writing as females, there is a slightly skewed understanding which makes it jarr on the mind. This book was so convoluted that it lost coherence. I skipped much, the only one I have done this with so far. Also there was no resolution at the end. So disliking this I am not sure I will bother with the next book. Also why would any female introduce gun powder. Totally bizarre in my mind the other things yes. Also the total disrespect for education system. It has many failings, though a lot are imposed by a bureaucracy, that drains the souls of educators with totally unrealistic and incredibly heavy work loads. Not a fan of this book. His other books in the series have been intriguing and I enjoyed them this was just annoying.
