A few weeks ago I finished The Sweet Far Thing by the very extremely excellent Libba Bray. Libba is my friend now but NOT when I started reading the Gemma Doyle trilogy, of which TSFT is the third and final installment.

I was hooked by A Great and Terrible Beauty without having any idea that Libba was an amazing dancer who can make me laugh so much disgusting things come out my nose.

You have to read the first one first. Then you have to read the second one. THEN you get to read The Sweet Far Thing.

Look. This series, it's got corsets. It's got friends who might have turned secretly evil. It's got scary boarding school stuff and a possibly nefarious headmistress. It's got magic. It's got weird other-worldly creatures. It's got handsome gentlemen and handsomer gypsies. There are gryphons! and gorgons! and parties, oh my!

(okay, only one gorgon, I know. Don't get upset! it just sounded good with gryphons)

Anyway, WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE?
So I just thought I'd write it up and remind you all about the books in case you haven't got your hands on them yet.
