Rebel Angels has lived up to my expectations of the perfect sequel for its previous sister, A Great and Terrible Beauty. Libba Bray had developed, even further, the characters, their settings and their situation. Her descriptive writing gave a vivid illustration of the world Gemma Doyle's family and friends lived and breathed in. Not to mention how she'd described the realms with so much detail and it's like you can just close your eyes and imagine the stuff our heroines are seeing. Bray had kept me glued onto every page, wanting to see what will happen next. Gemma Doyle is going to spend her first holiday away from India in the grandiose, not to mention socially vicious, London. Hoping to have a wonderful Christmas away from any thoughts of anyone's' mysterious past or Spence's damaged east wing, our heroines run into other situations that were far from what they've expected. There's mystery, but when there's mystery, there is love and when there is love, there is jealousy! Yes, you've heard correctly; jealousy! With each character, Libba Bray presents an issue that anyone can relate to when it comes to the pressure of fitting in: economically and/or socially. Gemma, Ann and Felicity is not only challenged with the trouble brewing in the realms, but also with how to present oneself in front of the society of London. With all of the calls, tea parties, balls, flirts, operas and romance looming, our heroines barely have the time to do what they wish. Rebel Angel is a great pick up and a great comeback from, what I thought, not a very good start. Libba Bray kept it interesting for readers of all ages! This could become the next Harry Potter for all we know! I'm really happy with this one and really hope that Libba Bray will continue to keep us entertain with yet another book! |

This was a great book full of mystical elements, forbidden romance, and mystery. I believe this is a very moving book. I loved the first book, A Great and Terrible Beauty, so much I had to read the next book and find out what adventures Gemma, Felicity, and Ann would have next. What would happen to Circe, what will happen next in the forbidden realms and will Kartik and Gemma finally get together? I think that this book should not be read by children, but by teenagers and adults because this book is melancholy and you got to be in the right mood to read this book. To everyone else I recommend that you read this book, it is exhilarating. You will come away from the book wanting more. Where inside great beauty can lie a rebel angel. |

This book is absolutely spectacular. I am in love with the first one and have fallen in love with the second. The twists and turns in this one are perfectly placed so that you can't wait to get the next chapter to find out what's going on. The suspense it great and the colors and the way she depicts the realms is perfect. You can imagine yourself there. The creatures in this one sound very chilling and I personally would not like to encounter one. I was enthralled from the first page to the last and lamented putting it down. I wanted it to go on. I sincerely hope that she writes another one because Libba Bray is talented and this story cannot end the way it has this book. |

This was a highly enjoyable and gripping read. I enjoyed it and its prequel immensely. I wish I could read the next book in the series right now. That is my main problem with this series. If it takes 2 years for the next book to come out, by then I'll be nearly 17. I'm worried that I'll forget about these books or feel too old to read them then. Ah well, focusing on the present I loved this book. I rarely buy books unless I really want them, and I couldn't wait 2 months for the library to get this book. I bought it and read it in about 5 hours. So, if you enjoy books with magic, romance, horror and mystery, this is a perfect blend of those elements. What makes it even more interesting and appealing is that it is set in the Victorian era. I'm sick of singing its praises. I enjoyed the book. I recommend it. You should read it. |
