Several girls enjoyed Bray's "A Great and Terrible Beauty" and were excited about reading the second book. Well, you need wait no longer!Thanks to our book angel Peta, the second book is here and ready to be enjoyed. I think Arni (5D) and Dinnah (5B) are first in line.
This series looks really exciting and I can't wait to read it once I'm done the other ten books on my reading list. The third book in the series, "The Sweet Far Thing" should arrive any day now from bookdepository.
Thanks again Peta! The girls will surely enjoy this one.
In this thrilling sequel, Gemma continues to pursue her destiny to bind the magic of the Realms and restore it to the Order. Gemma and her friends from Spence use magical power to transport themselves on visits from their corseted world of Victorian London (at the height of the Christmas season), to the visionary country of the Realms, with its strange beauty and menace. There they search for the lost Temple, the key to Gemma's mission, and comfort Pippa, their friend who has been left behind in the Realms. After these visits they bring back magical power for a short time to use in their own world. Meanwhile, Gemma is torn between her attraction to the exotic Kartik, the messenger from the opposing forces of the Rakshana, and the handsome but clueless Simon, a young man of good family who is courting her. This is the second book in Libba Bray's engrossing trilogy, set in a time of strict morality and barely repressed sensuality, about a girl who saw another way.
