Book Review - The Sweet Far Thing by Libba Bray

The final book in the Gemma Doyle trilogy. Gemma struggles with her visions as the East Wing of Spence beings restoration. Tensions are rising in the realms as well as in real life as her London debut approaches.
A short description like above cannot begin to explain this book. It was a beautiful ending to a nearly perfect trilogy. Most aspects of the story, however, got very weird. I suppose when you're writing a Victorian fantasy it'll happen, though. The depth of the characters never ceases to amaze me. A twisting plot, it's a satisfying and long ending to the trilogy, clocking in at over 800 pages.

(I am working a couple of other books, so stay tuned for those.)
