Libba Bray - The Sweet Far Thing

This is the final book in the Gemma Trilogy, and it's a somewhat surprising book. There's some things that you know are going to happen, but there are many surprises as well: Felicity, Kartik, Mrs. Nightwing, the Order, and the Rakshana to name a few. No one is spared in this book. People do get killed and others do sacrifice themselves.
I rather enjoyed this book, although the final battle at the end made me cry a bit. All in all, a good read. I recommend the entire series. (Which only covers a year in Gemma's life, but it is the most important one of her life.)

Oh I didn't realize, only a year in Gemma's life? Wow, so much has happened then!

But yes, this is a great book and trilogy. Lots of action and adventure! :)

Here's my review of it.

I like your review of the book Josette! Much more in depth than mine. But yeah, it seems much longer, but near the end she says that it's been a year since her mother died and when you look back on the events in the book, it does make sense that it was only a year. :)
