Nothing always works out

Judging by some of the reviews here, a lot of people were disappointed by the last installment of the Gemma Doyle Trilogy, the Sweet Far Thing. I can agree that this book is needlessly long at points. Some scenes in this book could be cut out without greatly affecting the plot of the book. However, most readers complain about the same thing (Spoiler alert): Kartik and Gemma don't get their fairy tale happy ending.
Fact: In real life, MANY people miss out on a happy ending. Why should this novel be anything different? Gemma had to make a sacrifice, just like her mother, friends, and colleagues had to make sacrifices along the way. In my opinon, the bittersweet ending made this trilogy what it is. People sacrifice and people accept losses to acheive peace. What matters is they continue on with all that they have learned, which is what Gemma and her friends were able to do. This book is brilliant, and it a fantastic closer to a fantastic series.

Any who have acquired and enjoyed the others won't want to miss this

Libba Bray's conclusion to Libba Bray's 'Gemma Doyle' trilogy The Sweet Far Thing (9780385730303 $17.99) requires familiarity with the other weighty books in series, but any who have acquired and enjoyed the others won't want to miss this, begin in A GREAT AND TERRIBLE BEAUTY and continued in REBEL ANGELS. Here the Spence Academy for Girls is preparing for its London debut season, but with Gemma and gang dreading it. Magic, change, and initiation abound in a stunning conclusion to a weighty but involving trilogy highly recommended for advanced YA readers.

Wonderful

This is a wonderful book! As the ending to the Gemma Doyle Trilogy it is heart warming, a sad but perfect ending. Anyone that loves Victorian times, fancy dresses and a hint of magic/romance should read this. A Great And Terrible Beauty, Rebel Angels and The Sweet Far Thing these are great books!

If you started the Gemma Doyle Trilogy, this is a must read

What a heart wrenching finale to the Gemma Doyle trilogy! You are kept guessing through out the book about how Gemma will decide and resolve within herself what is the right thing to do with the realms magic. You must read this trilogy...you will be kept wondering to the end.
