WOW. Libba Bray is one of my fvotite authors and the story of Gemma Doyle is amazing. The charctures are so lifelike. The plot keeps me turning the pages again and again. Can't wait for book 3. Read Rebel Angels everyone.

by Lauren A great and terrible review for Libba Bray
This book was a beautiful blend of romance, magic, horror, and English Schoolgirl. I really liked the way the characters and ideas were strung together in this novel. I really believe that this one is a "New York Times Bestseller."

by anime_luvr so awesome!!!!
This is the greatest book I've ever read before in my life! I want to go into this book and into the realms and live ther forever!!! And I want to travel with the gypsy's and work magic with the Order. I want to be just like Gemma. She's so funny, and has the kind of humor I like. My friends and I now have a cave of our own, but I cannot reveal the secrets that go on inside (not very many mind you). The book is perfect for anyone interested in some slight British humor, magic and romance, and sad endings.

A Great and Terrible Beauty is definitely going on my list of top 5 favorite books!! It was wonderfully written and extremely enchanting. It's captivating. After the first couple of chapters, Bray had me hooked and I didn't want to put the book down. The characters were real and well-rounded with problems that we all have some experience with. They were very relatable which made the story easy to follow. There was just enough suspense to keep you guessing, but not enough to make you confused. I loved every aspect of this book. I would recommend it to anyone willing to read a good story with a magic twist, however, I have to admit it's more of a book for teenage girls. All in all, it was incredible! I can't wait to read the sequel, Rebel Angels.

by Mireya Remarkable:Brilliant
This work of literature is very astounding; especially for a first time novelist. Bray understands what a reader needs and what we don't need. She really took to heart the characters. This was my first 400 page book, and I'm happy that I chose this one. I'm looking foward to reading the entire trilogy. Way to go Libba Bray:)
