Rating: 3 out of 5 Stars
Back Cover: Gemma Doyle is looking
forward to a holiday from Spence Academy—spending time with her friends in the
city, attending balls in fancy gowns with plunging necklines, and dallying with
the handsome Lord Denby. Yet amid these distractions, her visions intensify—visions
of three girls dressed in white, to whom something horrific has happened that
only the realms can explain. The lure is strong, and soon Gemma, Felicity, and
Ann are turning flowers into butterflies in the enchanted world that Gemma
takes them to. To the girls' great joy, their beloved Pippa is there as well,
eager to complete their circle of friendship. But all is not well in the
realms—or out. Kartik is back, desperately insisting to Gemma that she must
bind the magic, lest colossal disaster befall her. Gemma is willing to comply,
for this would bring her face-to-face with her late mother's greatest friend,
now Gemma's foe—Circe. Until Circe is destroyed, Gemma cannot live out her
destiny. But finding Circe proves a most perilous task. . . .
This was a little different as
they where not at school and getting to see the different parts of England. I
didn’t like what happened with Ann. And felt very sorry for Felicity how
society treated her and her mother. Gemma also seems a little full of herself
and the power that she wields, believing that she can save her father from
himself with magic. I found the story was still lacking but I did enjoy the
intrigue with the peers of society. I will still read the final book in this
series, The Sweet Far Things.
