From AudioFile

The concluding chapter of Bray's trilogy (A GREAT AND TERRIBLE BEAUTY, 2004, and REBEL ANGELS, 2005) is again given voice by Josephine Bailey, who creates the many characters of this rich Victorian world. As Gemma Doyle and her friends at Spence Academy deal with the strictures of their society--worrying about making their debuts and escaping from under the tight control of their fathers and brothers--they must, at the same time, sort out the lethal mystery that surrounds the Realms, a complex alter-universe peopled by mythical creatures and the undead. Bailey's narration establishes the necessary continuity with the previous books, allowing listeners of the first two volumes to resume their connection to the Realms and Victorian England.

Review

Starred Review, Publishers Weekly, October 29, 2007:
“A huge work of massive ambition.”

Review, People, December 24, 2007:
"This is a rare treat that offers a bit of everything--romance, magic, history, Gothic intrigue--and delivers on all of it in 819 beautifully crafted pages."

4.0étoiles sur 5 A great ending, Sep 10 2009
Par Karoline (Richmond BC) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: The Sweet Far Thing (Hardcover)
The Sweet Far Thing carries right after the events of Rebel Angels. Alliances have to be made. The magic has to be given equally to all tribes but Gemma hestitates. She loves the magic too much and likes helping her friends and loved ones by using it. Yet bad terrible things are happening in the realms and there's a strange eerie power that's growing in the dreaded Winterlands.

Be forewarned, this is a BIG book. It's slightly over 800 pages. So give yourself ample time to read it. This is a lot to read through and I'm afraid to say it, but it does seem to drag a bit. The girls go into the realms, then they're back to reality. This goes back and forth a lot and it gets tiring a bit. The reader can't help but get frustrated but, when you progress through the novel, the ending and the climax makes up for it tenfold. That being said though, there's a lot of action in this book. Fans of Victorian gothic and magic will love this. There's a good balance between the "real world" of Victorian England and the "other side" where magic, and fantasy come to life.

I still adore Gemma. She's not afraid of breaking any rules of propriety and does not care what the world thinks of her in their social circles. I like that about her. She wanted to run her life as she saw fit and didn't care what others thought of a woman running "loose and free" in society. She hasn't lost her wit (in fact it increases ten fold in this book) and her innermost thoughts still make you chuckle. What I didn't really like about her, is it seemed as if her friends just used her for her magic, and I thought Gemma was a lot stronger than that. Then again she's afraid of being lonely and is only doing what they ask for to please them and to let them stay with her. That being said, underneath that selfishness her friends end up staying fiercely loyal to her and they really do value her as a friend.

Aside from the constant travelling back and forth between the worlds, the last book of this series does a good job tying up loose ends and you're left with a satisfying yet bittersweet ending. Overall a good albeit long book. A great closing to a wonderful trilogy and a must read for fans of Victorian Gothic books.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Simply Outstanding!!!!, Janv. 22 2009
Par Krisel Q. (Ontario, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: The Sweet Far Thing (Hardcover)
i am actually sad that the trilogy is over.
i feel like this books conveys the message that it does not matter how many times you have fallen, but by how many times you have stood up again. Gemma is imperfect-like evry other person in the world. She had made mistakes, big and small. She has always stood up, no matter how hard she falls. A very well written trilogy, this definately belongs in my favourites.

Highly Recommended!!

5.0étoiles sur 5 Best of the series, Avril 3 2008
This review is from: The Sweet Far Thing (Hardcover)
I have to say, I love the romance-fantasy genre. This series was amazing. It really was full of everything, all sorts of drama, fantasy and romance, though it didn't seem forced. This book is the largest of the series, and bigger really is better in this case. A perfect ending to a great series, without a doubt.
