The beginning reminds me a bit of The Secret Garden, but then it ends up a little like a Dead Poets Society for girls. Enjoyable.
I don't think I'll read the rest of the trilogy but on the whole it was a really enjoyable read. It's a mixture of fantasy/paranormal fiction and historical fiction which I think worked really well. The novel was so easy to read, I could easily have read it over a couple of days (I couldn't however due to uni committments!) But it didn't leave me feeling like I wanted to follow the characters any further. If you're into fantasy and/or historical fiction I would definitely recommend :)
Nok ei veldig bra bok jeg har lest i det siste! The Victorian Era er en tid jeg liker godt å lese om - pene kjoler, korsetter, gentlemen og tea parties. Når man så blander det med god fantasy så blir det perfekt! Jeg elsket å lese om turene til The Realms (det var så bra beskrevet) og om de forskjellige personlighetene til Gemma, Pippa, Ann og Felicity – særlig Felicity var artig å lese om. I tillegg var det mange tvister i plottet og slutten gjorde meg veldig trist... Den førte til at jeg har lyst til å lese Rebel Angels så fort som mulig!
