I never know what book in this series is my favourite, and I doubt I ever will. Unless I am suddenly flash of inspiration during the last book and find that it or one of the preceding two are my favourite, but who knows what the future has in store for us. Anyways, I love Rebel Angels, at least as much as A Great and Terrible Beauty and maybe even a little more.
The characters become more developed, and so do the world they live in. The girls leave Spence to go home for the holidays and a whole bunch of shenanigans takes place, even boys -gasp-. As always, Libba Bray brings Gemma's world to life with exquisite descriptions, snide remarks, and witty commentary that aptly describes Gemma's feeling, worries, loves, hates, happiness's, griefs, and everything in between.
I give this book 10 bottles of laudanum out of 10. For those of you who have read the books, you may this that this is an odd symbol to choose, but it was the thing that stuck out the most in my memory the last time I read the book and I believe that it is a very powerful symbol of the time period. I would recommend this book to anyone who is in for a good adventure. The series is beautifully crafted. Stayed tuned for the third and final installment sometime in the coming months.
