Rebel Angels

Reader reviewed by eve

This sequel is really good and is a page turner just like the first one. It too is filled with many surprises and although there are clues to figure them out I doubt many will. I like how this book was a lot more serious than the first. There are some subject matters quite serious that the book dealt with. Pass this, though there is also humor and mystery.

I recommend this for any girl.

THIS WAS A GREAT BOOK! The whole concept is amazing; a secret society and unlikly friends. I couldnt belive the ending. I never would have guessed that Circe turned out to be the very person Jemma trusted so much, Ms. Moore. She introduced them to the Order! Then I wish more would have happened with Gemma and Karitik. Great storyline.

Rebel Angels was a great sequel to A Great and Terrible Beauty. In this book, Gemma is going home for the holidays, and has a new mission: to find the "Temple" and bind the magic. Gemma is aided by her friends as she searches the realms for the Temple, and she is also surprised to see Pippa, as beautiful as ever, in the realms. But Gemma doesn't know who to trust. She has visions of three girls in white, who keep trying to tell her something. But can Gemma trust them?

I found this book scarier than the first, and just as exciting. I love this book, and it's one that people will want to buy.

The companion to "A Great and Terrible Beauty" does not disappoint!

The adventures of Gemma and her friends continue, but the peril is much greater now. Gemma is warned by her friend Kartik that she must find a certain temple within the realms before Circe and her followers do. There she must bind the magic, for it has been running freely through the realms for too long now. Gemma cannot find the temple alone. She knows this, and must trust her friends to help her. But with the magic runnig loose, none within the realms can be trusted. Gemma must rely on instinct to stay alive, find the temple, and keep what happened at the end of th first book from repeating itself.

Outside the realms trouble is stirring too. There is a new teacher at school-one who seems to know something. Gemma must discover whether she is a foe or ally-her life may depend on it.

Fate leads Gemma to Nell Hawkins, a girl in an insane asylum who claims to have driven herself mad to keep Circe from using her. Gemma needs to retain information from her, but how much of what she says is true, and how much is the rabble of a lunatic? Can Gemma solve the riddles and find the temple before it is too late?

Before I read Rebel Angels, I was afraid that in the time it took Libba Bray to write a second book, it wouldn't quite flow from the first one. I was proved wrong! the book seems more like someone took a machete and chopped this book right off the last chapter of "A Great and Terrible Beauty" than someone wrote it seperately. I love the dialogue style the book is written in, and I am happy that she could incorporate humor and embarrassment without ruining the mysterious and formal style of the book. Libba Bray is so good at making the book "fantastically" realistic. This book is a must read!

THis book is unbelievably good. I swear it is just a book you cant put down. You just want to read and read untill your eyes are drooping. This stunning portrayal of friendship and romance combined with chilling fantasy and historical gothic victorian flare that makes it seem real. After reading this lovely novel it was all I could think about!!! I would lay awake at night thinking about the characters with their faults and strengths. There was no perfect person in the book, no cinderella who annoys with their perfect nature. Even the heroine in this story has chilling faults and problems which are relateable. It was an unbelievable book that will be the way to measure all other books that I read from this point on. It is a book that everyone must read before they die to appreciate young literature!!!! It is an undescribable pleasure to leaf through tha pages of this chilling book.
