The east wing of Spence is finally being rebuilt after being burnt down by a terrible fire that occurred there years ago. But that's not to only exciting thing happening at Spence this year. All the girls are preparing for their debut. But Gemma isn't worried about any of that. After defeating Circe, she bound the realm's magic to herself. Now, she has to make alliances and bind the magic. But The Order, The Rakshana, and The Winterlands all want a piece of the magic too. They'll do anything to get it. Gemma can't trust anyone anymore. The fate of the realms is dependent on Gemma, and if she can figure out what's going to happen before it does happen.

The Sweet Far Thing was my favorite of the trilogy. It was well written, exciting, and completed the trilogy very well. The ending was extremely sad, but it was worth it to carry around the 800 page book in school. Anyone who enjoys historical fantasy books would like these books.

Also, A Great and Terrible Beauty is being made into a movie. It's going to be amazing! So far, there is not a cast list or really any information on it, but I'm sure we'll all love it.
