The Sweet Far Thing by Libba Bray
4.0
I got the feeling that the author was having a bit of trouble letting go of the characters and thus decided to stretch out the final book in the trilogy as long as possible. That's not to say that I didn't enjoy the book, but I think the extreme length did take away from the overall strength of the story.
Gemma is certainly strong, but flawed in many ways and I can only imagine she will continue stumbling through life doing the wrong thing 50% of the time. I fear that in an effort to assert her independence, she ends up being a bit selfish with the "do whatever you want" mentality. I think it is possible to empower women without making them quite so self serving.
