It has been a year of change since Gemma Doyle arrived at the foreboding Spence Academy. Her mother murdered, her father a laudanum addict, Gemma has relied on an unsuspected strength to turn catty schoolgirls into loyal friends, and has discovered an ability to travel to an enchanted world called the realms, where dark magic runs wild.

Despite certain peril, Gemma has bound the magic to herself and forged unlikely new alliances with headstrong Felicity and timid Ann; with Kartik, an exotic young Indian man whose companionship is forbidden; and with the fearsome creatures of the realms. Now, as Gemma approaches her London debut, the time has come to test these bonds. The Order, the mysterious group Gemma's mother was once part of, is grappling for control of the realms, as are the Rakshana. It is there that the girls meet their adored friend Pippa, who is not the same...or is she? The power to change everything - both in and out of the realms - rests in Gemma's hands.

Libba Bray's The Sweet Far Thing concludes the trilogy that began with the bestsellers A Great and Terrible Beauty and Rebel Angels.

I read this series seven years ago in high school and it's still just as enthralling to hear it on Audible as it was when I first read it. But I have to say, the reading was so well-done that it really brought the books to life even more for me! I never have time to sit and read a book, so being able to listen on the go and hear a familiar story was such a treat for me as I traveled internationally and needed books downloaded to my phone for entertainment.

Just an amazing series!

If you could sum up The Sweet Far Thing in three words, what would they be?

No Summary Sufficient?

Too many things are happening! There is romance, complicated friendships, tragedy, family problems, sinister secret societies, a magical parallel universe that is threatened by internal strife as well as threats from blundering outsiders, a secret sisterhood sworn to protect the magical realm (or are they?), and a tenuous friendship among three girls who must contend with the strictures of late Victorian society at a time when some liberation for women is just glimmering on the horizon. How does one sum all that up in three words?

Who was your favorite character and why?

I was a fan of the Gorgon, who (poor thing) kept trying to steer Gemma in the right direction, but Gemma was too swayed by her stupid friends and behaved shortsightedly throughout. Oh well. Still: Gorgon. Awesome.

Which character – as performed by Josephine Bailey – was your favorite?

Josephine Bailey was perfect as all the characters. A flawless performance.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

I'm terrible at this kind of thing. I've no idea. But it would be a great movie.

Satisfying end to a sad, magnificent story

This is my first time listening to audibles. I've read this series before but it was so amazing to hear it read like this. Absolutely enjoyed every minute.

Loved the voices

Who was your favorite character and why?

Felicity. She's intriguing. Rude and conceited one second, and charming and sweet the next. She's a powerful personality, and I can't help but wonder what the story would look like told from her perspective

What about Josephine Bailey’s performance did you like?

the narrators performance was wonderful. Not like being read to, more like she reached into my mind and played the story out. I could really see it, feel it. The characters voices were distinct.

Any additional comments?

When listening to this book, keep in mind that it is YA. That said, for it's genre it's incredibly adult and deals with some heavy themes. The entire trilogy is very worth reading.

A "coming of age" tale with a magical twist

One of the best books I've ever read! The narrator was the best I've ever listened to and I'm an audiobook addict. Every character had a unique voice and perfect accent. Libba Bray just keeps getting better and better. The first book in the trilogy was very good, the second was great and this one was fantastic.

Fantastic
