Review: The Sweet Far Thing

Title: The Sweet Far Thing
Author: Libba Bray
Category: Fiction, Young Adult
Rating: 4/5
Summary: Like her mother before her, Gemma Doyle can travel to an enchanted world called the realms. But when Gemma came up against the corrupted sorceress who killed her mother, she bound the magic to herself to protect all worlds from the sorceress. Now all manner of powerful organizations are trying to wrest the magic away from Gemma, and she doesn't know who she can trust.

Review: Clever, passionate, self-deprecating Gemma Doyle—I'm going to miss you. This final book of the Gemma Doyle trilogy was maybe a little on the long side, but I enjoyed it all and I was sad when it was over. At the moment I finished reading the last page, I found myself wanting to immediately start re-reading the first book of the trilogy—A Great and Terrible Beauty. The only other time I've felt that urge with a fiction series is with Harry Potter!

I can't wait to see what else this writer does.
