Editorial Review:IT HAS BEEN A YEAR OF CHANGE since Gemma Doyle arrived at the foreboding Spence Academy. Her mother murdered, her father a
laudanum addict, Gemma has relied on an unsuspected strength and has discovered an ability to travel to an enchanted world called the realms, where dark magic runs wild. Despite certain peril, Gemma has bound the magic to herself and forged unlikely new alliances. Now, as Gemma approaches her London debut, the time has come to test these bonds.The Order - the mysterious group her mother was once part of - is grappling for control of the realms, as is the Rakshana. Spence's burned East Wing is being rebuilt, but why now? Gemma and her friends see Pippa, but she is not the same. And their friendship faces its gravest trial as Gemma must decide once and for all what role she is meant for.

Once again Libba Bray has created a Masterpiece.
I loved this book and yet it may be a bit scary for sensitive people or young kids so you have been told. I don't find the scary parts that bad at all but my sister was alittle nervous about it, lol. It's another breathtaking novel that I will remember forever! You know what it's about by the other reviews so if you like the idea of a story from the late 1800's with lot's of modern day
type themes you'll love this story too. It is mysterious, ... Read More

Can anyone say love/hate relationship? That sums up exactly how I feel about the book. Yet, this is by far my favorite book out of the three in the Gemma Doyle Trilogy. Ugh!
The series is wrapped up nicely. The realms are peaceful again. Ann, Felecity and Gemma find there way in the world. As well, Kartik finds his purpose.
Two things I have to say about this book, and they are random. One, it is a very thick book. Remember, my love/hate relationship? I normally like big, thick ... Read More

I am on the same page as many others. After I finished reading this, I wanted to know what others thought.
The books in and of themselves were entertaining on a Harry Potter, Eragon level. I could have picked them apart for the inconsistencies and lack of development, but I chose to enjoy them, and I thoroughly did. I took the story at face value and had a fun read. The only thing I could have done without were the not so subtle feminist messages. I am all for women having strength, but she ... Read More

I started reading this book series on a whim when I came across the first book for only $2 at a Borders. Normally YA fantasy series are not my cup of tea, but I read it anyway and found it enjoyable enough. I quickly picked up the second book and read that one as well, but it didn't keep my attention and it took me two or three times as long to get through. So this caused me to not quite rush to get the third in the series. Even after I bought the book on sale again it took me month to get to read it. I finally ... Read More

This was a perfect ending to such an amazing trilogy! The Sweet Far Thing was exciting, filled with anticipation, heartache, and exhilarating! I couldn't put it down and read the whole thing in one day! I didn't find that the story dragged, although in the middle I kept wondering when Gemma would figure it all out! I found that I liked the characters even more in this book and was rooting for Gemma and Kartik to end up together somehow. I will say that although there are some happy ending moments, it was not how ... Read More
