Has anyone read the books A Great and Terrible Beauty, Rebel Angels, and A Sweet Far Thing? Did you like them? What was your favorite part?|||I absolutely loved them. They are fabulously written, and the only rule Libba Bray breaks is the fact that she has too many said-bookisms and Tom Swifites, but I don't even care about those.
Hmm...my favorite part? I love the part when Gemma first enters Spence and she's translating Nightwing's polite greetings. Her sarcasm is absolutely hilarious throughout the chapter, and it's apparent that she completely miserable.
And I'm eighteen.|||OMG, I'm reading The Sweet Far Thing right now, and I've absoutly LOVED the last two. They are amazing books. I like the romantic stuff :), and the fight in the realms, at the end of Rebel Angles. I own all three and can't put them down. I'm 13.|||I loved those books, I've read all of them. My favorite part was the very end when she is in America. It was when she was in a room and she was blinded by the light from the sun. I can't remember whether she closed the blinds or not, but I just remember crying because everything was over.|||These books were wonderful. The story is intriguing, even eerie at times, and the books were powerfully written. I can't understand why this series hasn't blown Twilight out of the water in terms of popularity, since Bray is ten times the writer that Meyer is.
My favorite part is in Rebel Angels, when Gemma gradually begins to realize that Pippa is not the same girl she used to be. There are some truly blood-chilling scenes...|||Those books are seriously amazing. Every part was my favorite. xD It's one of the few series that made it to my top favorites list. Libba Bray is brilliant. Eh, I'm 15 by the way.|||The Gemma Doyle Trilogy is absolutely AMAZING. The best book by far was The Sweet Far Thing. Though it is the longest I found it the most intriguing of all. My least and most favorite part of the entire series is the final battle in the realms at the end of The Sweet Far Thing. I loved it and hated it all at once, but I believed it was the most beautifully written part of all the books.
What I found most interesting about the books was that they weren't actually meant to be dark. I met Libba Bray and she said that she had planned on them being less dark, but her first day of writing was September 11. As she lives in Brooklyn, the sky was filled with smoke, blocking out the sun and the day had a very dark feel to it and that reflected into her writing.|||I love them all. They are so wonderfully written. My favorite character is Felicity, and the part I like best is the end of The Sweet Far Thing...very good writing. (I'm thirteen)
