This book was horrible. It was amazing. I almost cried when it was over. I wanted to throw it across the room and scream to it. I wanted to hold it in my arms and never let it go again. I can't write a coherent review about The Sweet Far Thing. The title is perfect for this book. It's such a bitter-...

I'm not sure why I enjoyed this series so much. The story is all over the place, the girls are often awful to each other and the denouement dragged a bit, but it was great fun. The reader was adept at creating character voices that reflected them well (there was only one part where I wondered if s...

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely fell in love with this book! I really did!It was the ending that made me cry. No, that isn't right, it made me sob. For what felt like hours.

It took me forever to read this book, because I simply did not want to have to finish it and know I was done with this fantastically written, heart-wrenching, genuine trilogy. For a story about the mystical Realms, it is also one of Gemma Doyle's growing self-awareness. And while the main plot lin...

I was not impressed with this last book in the triology. It did not end well for me. Here are my issues with it (many of which have already been touched upon by other reviers)...- Too darn long. Seriously. I don't mind reading long books, but only when it doesn't -feel- like a long book. You can giv...

I loved this entire series. I could not put the book down. Gemma Doyle is a great character. She is brave, strong, and independant.

i trudged through page after page (well, cd after cd) of events that all felt rather recycled and repetitive only to end up at a predictable and cliche ending. this final volume contains very few of the elements that made me love the first one so much.

I loved the first two books in this series, but this one was just OK for me. I was LONG and a bit tedious to get through, I was also hoping for a bit more progression with the characters, maybe have them mature a little, but alas that was not to be.
