Gobbled it up

[amelia_petkova]

I just finished reading Rebel Angels by Libba Bray, the sequel to A Great and Terrible Beauty. And by "just" I mean "ten minutes ago." This time you get immediate reactions, not an academic essay.


--Miss Moore is Circe? Noooooooo!!!!!! But she was so cool and snarky and great! Damn.
--I liked Simon until he ended up being a bit of a snob. But then, he's an upper-class man in Victorian England. Nature vs. Nurture.
--Gemma & Kartik: OTP.
--I can't believe the author makes us sympathetic to Mrs. Nightwing at the very end. A surprising plot twist!
--I wanted to take a shower after finding out the truth about Felicity's father. I hope she's able to protect Polly.
--The sections with Gemma's father (especially when he's almost well) break my heart.
--I enjoyed reading the book very much but at times it felt a bit long to me. Though enjoyable, it felt wandering at times.


The author has a LJ under the name libba_bray. If/when this gets made into a movie, I'll be eager to see it.

That's one of the probmlems I had with the third book...it takes a long time to get to the action. But it is a very good series.

Gemma and Kartik are totally OTP. Love!

They need to have cute little babies together and move back to India. (Tom would probably die of shock and all the readers would laugh.)

I love your icon. Whatever gripes I have with the Twilight series, the books have gorgeous covers. (Except that the pretty shininess shows every single fingerprint at the bookstore.)
