And when they do, they break all the major rules for being ladies-and for wielding magic-and find themselves kicking butt all over the place. At the heart of the novel is a gang of rebellious teenage girls, itching for a way out of the stuffy cage of social conformity, who come into some seriously powerful magic. This novel is the first book in The Gemma Doyle Trilogy by Libba Bray, and it takes place in 19th-century London, complete with balls, corsets, hankies with little initials embroidered on the corner, and horse poop lying around the streets. She can do pretty much anything she wants to… The only trouble is, should she? Personally, we'd pick D: All of the above.Īnd this is just what Gemma and her crew think, too, in A Great and Terrible Beauty, when they discover how powerful Gemma is. Have you ever daydreamed about what you'd do with magical powers? Would you become invisible or use mind-control? Fly like Superman or transform yourself into a super model?
