Book Reviews of The Sweet Far Thing (The Gemma Doyle Trilogy)
Book Review: "The Sweet Far Thing"- has gone sour!
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this book with the first two as recommended by some young adults I know. I was a little entertained with the first. It was a bit slow. The second one sets the scene for the third book. When you read "The Sweet Far Thing" you think everything will be explained and it will all come together. Well it leaves you short. The book is so long, and slow that you would rather not even finish the book, but you expect a great ending so you continue. And then it ends so bad!!! Here she has all this power and no control- ahhh! I was hoping for a little better ending and not so much of my time wasted on reading these. It was torture!! Read Stephenie Meyers books, Twilight series or Shannon Hale. Or for adults read Amanda Quick, Colleen Gleason, or Julie Garwood!
Summary of The Sweet Far Thing (The Gemma Doyle Trilogy)
IT HAS BEEN A YEAR OF CHANGE since Gemma Doyle arrived at the foreboding Spence Academy. Her mother murdered, her father alaudanum 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.
