Gemma along with her friends Felicity and Ann continue their adventures in the realms and somehow it has never been less clear who can be trusted. The various tribes in the realms are brewing trouble and the groups in the mortal world all seek to control magic just as fiercely. Gemma’s dubious control over it wavers as she struggles to find the truth of the matter and do the right thing. 

In the end, it is proof that we’re all human and trying to do our best to make sense of the chaos and look forward to a better future. 

I’m immensely satisfied with the end of this trilogy. Gemma grows into a woman with her own mind without trying to fit the rigid mold of those around her, as do Felicity and Ann, and it feels correct to leave them exactly where we do.
