This was the final installment of the Gemma Doyle trilogy. There were certainly some great parts of badass feminism that I appreciated, but the first book is still the most magical. I think I was a little burnt out on this series and should have given myself a break between books. But I’m glad I finally got the resolution to all the loose ends! This narrator is also quite fabulous. She was so good at all the different character voices, and especially after three books, you start to recognize each voice with ease. I love when that happens. I definitely recommend the first book, A Great and Terrible Beauty, but if you don’t absolutely love that one, you can leave off books 2 and 3.
