REBEL ANGELS by Libba Bray

I'm not sure what I was expecting from A Great and Terrible Beauty's sequel, but it's (though I thought it'd be impossible) even better then Libba Bray's first novel. Rebel Angels is the continuation of Gemma, Felicity, Anne, and Pippa's adventure. This book is dark, like the first one. Betrayal is a theme trailing through from page one to 548, the final page. Rebel Angels makes a lot more sense then the sometimes misleading and confusing A Great and Terrible Beauty. Bray clears up some of those wishy washy events from her last book in Rebel Angels, something I, along with other fans, really appreciated. The plot and motivations of the characters seems more defined, which helps us readers fall in love with the book even more. I felt it was easier to connect to the girls in this book. All our favorite characters who seemed to disappear at the end of book one are back. Bray doesn't seem to be finshed writing Karktic, Pippa, or Ms. Moore. These books got it all: adventure, romance, magic, human characters and the classic growing up at boarding school story. Read them. You won't regret it.
