Product Description

From School Library Journal

Grade 8 Up–The sequel (Delacorte, 2005) to Libba Brays A Great and Terrible Beauty (Delacorte, 2003; Listening Library, 2004) takes up 17-year-old Gemma Doyles adventures above ground, in Victorian London, and below in the magical Realms, just days after the first book ended. Narrator Josephine Bailey remains consistent and inspired in the range of accents and tones she provides for Gemma, her posh friend Felicity, their whiney classmate Ann, the mysterious and sensual Indian youth Kartik, and the newly introduced characters that include a suspicious new teacher and a patient at Londons famous Bethlehem Hospital (Bedlam). Those unfamiliar with the prequel to the current adventures may find themselves a bit lost at the outset, but the flurry of immediate events will soon catch them up as Gemma works feverishly to understand how she can bind the magic running loose in the Realms, whether Kartik is her ally or her deadly opponent, and if her fathers moodiness is an expression of the continuing grief at her mothers death or an opiate habit. Added to these Gothic matters is the fact that Gemma must come to terms with her feelings for the young man who pays her court during the Christmas holidays shes spending away from finishing school and in her grandmothers house. Bray realizes the time period not only in her skillfully embedded descriptions of sounds, textures, and smells, but also by evoking the social framework within which Gemma must move, at least while above ground. The Realms, on the other hand, include both other worldly beauty and ghastliness, befitting of hallucinations. Gemma proves her strength and her charity in both arenas.–Francisca Goldsmith, Berkeley Public Library, CA

From AudioFile

For listeners who relished Bray's first Victorian fantasy novel, A GREAT AND TERRIBLE BEAUTY, this title will be equally welcome. Josephine Bailey narrates this second story of Gemma Doyle and her boarding school chums with a precise British accent that exudes the atmosphere of Gemma's aristocratic world. Bailey maintains dramatic tension over the twisting story threads, following Gemma, Felicity, and Ann's attempts to rid the magical realms of the sorceress Circe. While Bailey's restrained tones are sometimes too earnest for the complex and mercurial teenaged girls, she never loses control of the long, involved reading. REBEL ANGELS is undeniably a sequel, but Bailey's encore performance animates Gemma's world for all listeners.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great book which explains quite a bit..., July 29 2009
By Karoline (Richmond BC) - See all my reviews
Ce commentaire est de: Rebel Angels (Paperback)
It is strongly recommended that you read A Great and Terrible Beauty first as it introduces you to the characters and the actual start of the big picture. I really enjoyed this book a lot more than the first one as I had so many unanswered questions left when I finished it which is why I rushed like mad to find Rebel Angels. It does a good job giving you more information on The Order and the Rakshana and their little magic world that's just behind "that door". So now with that good amount of information the plot in this book goes very smooth and combined with the action and mystery, it makes for a very good Victorian Gothic style book to read.

There is enough mystery and intrigue in this book to keep you guessing who's really the "bad guy" here and when you finally do figure it out you might probably feel a bit of shock at first because you thought you knew all along or you may not be surprised at all. It's hard to say. I had quite a few guesses but my first initial guess was wrong so I suppose it was a pleasant surprise for me. If I was right it would have been predictable and perhaps boring. However I liked how you were given options on who might be behind it all so chances are maybe it's meant to be written that way so it won't be so predictable.

Gemma is extremely more likable every time she opens her mouth or has a witty thought. If you liked her in the first book, you'll like her even more here. I liked her sense of independence and she did have this extra spark in her personality which made her stand out against the rest of the other characters. Speaking of wit, despite the real serious dark tones in the novel, there's little bits of comedy here and there that made me chuckle several times. I think it was because you can also hear what Gemma is thinking and some of the things that run in her head is actually quite funny (especially when Felicity and Ann decide to pick at her and laugh)

The ending of the novel leaves you with wanting more. You know that the fight isn't even over. They're just taking a break before the big one begins. If you have ever seen Lord of the Rings The Two Towers remember the ending? yeah, it feels like that. You know there's something big that's going to happen in the grand finale. I'm really looking forward to how this ends.

4.0 out of 5 stars Something to Exclaim About, Jan 7 2008
Ce commentaire est de: Rebel Angels (Hardcover)
At 549 pages, this is a big read, and rather a stretch for my fingers to hold. But I'll forgive the author because there's a lot of interesting stuff in here: Opium! Absinthe! Felicity's family secret! Anagrams! (Yes, I have to exclaim those, though the book didn't.) Now who wouldn't want to read about them?

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!, Dec 31 2007
By Jessica C. "books-aholic" (Saskatchewan, Canada) - See all my reviews
Ce commentaire est de: Rebel Angels (Paperback)
This review has no spoilers.

I was supposed to finish this book in five days, just in time to get The Sweet Far Thing (the third and last in the series). I found that incredibly difficult, and ended up finishing it in three days. (and had nothing to read for 2 days) I was not expecting this book but to be so much better then the first. It has great twists and you can easily relate to Gemma, who is the main character. The book is meant to be about a month long, but it feels like a year's worth of events. Once you've begun reading ... any plans otherwise will sound crazy.
