So I finished this book yesterday and: oh my god. To be completely honest and such a girl, I only read the second book because of Kartik and Gemma. I liked it, but didn’t love it. Book two: amazing Book three: no words can describe. The ending was heart wrenchingly amazing and I’m getting goosebumps… over a book. I totally and completely recommend reading all three!!

I agree, Elizabeth! A rousing end to a great series.

I cryed when Kartik got sucked into the tree. And even thoughi think she went kooko i cryed for Pippa too… and Miss McCeethy, and Amar, and Euegina even she turned out not to be the saint we thought she was. And Gemma going crazy at the masked ball was scary. AHHHHH!!!!!!!!! it was a AWESOME book.

Absolutely amazing. All of three books! The end was so good, I had to keep reading so I wouldn’t stop in the middle of it. As as result, I ended up reading 300 pages in one night and not getting much sleep at all.
Good books make me think at the end of them and I know I’ll be preoccupied all day now.
It was a ridiculously good read, for anyone who asks.

Sorry to say, Danielle, but this is it. Libba Bray only planned to write about Gemma for a trilogy, not an ongoing series, so the third one is the last one. Another good book that’s similar in tone is The Minister’s Daughter by Julie Hearne.

Yes, the Luxe certainly inspires period-dress-envy. But so do those hot covers on the Great and Terrible Beauty books!

These books are fantastic! This series is definitely one of my favorites. Everything about it was great. I was so sad when I finished it–I cried for like three days. Gemma was such a great main character, she was so strong. And I loved her comebacks! The Luxe was also really good. I don’t like Gossip Girl or the Clique because I’m like this might as well be science fiction: this is not what goes on in high school! With the Luxe, it’s just as much drama, but it seems more real. I just wish they had pictures of every dress in the book like the one on the cover!

So, i just want to tell everyone that i didnt cry, i WEPT at the end of this book. It’s such a fantastic read, there are literally no words to describe it, i know that sounds corny but i dont care. None of my friends have read these books and ive been threatening them to, I need someone to talk to someone about them- haha. oh well, i suggest if anyone hasnt read this series immediately. and the luxe- another amazing book, cant wait for the sequel to it!!!
