Title: A Great And Terrible Beauty
Author: Libba Bray
Genre: Historic Fiction
What I read this week:
Gemma, Ann, Felicity and Pippa share a bond together, they have changed.It started when Gemma noticed the missing class picture, it was the one taken the year Sarah and Mary went missing, the year of the fire at Spence, the year that had changed the realms. Destroyed The Order.
The girls sneak out one night, but instead of going to the caves, they decide to go seek advice from Mother Elena, one of the gypsy. She had been around for a while and remembers Sarah and Mary. They use to go to her for advice. When Gemma, Felicity and Ann ask Mother questions, she answers as if Gemma was Mary. This gives the girls information about the missing friends.
Gemma decided to tell her friends about her powers. She even manages to bring them along in her visions to the other realm.
"[...] You don't notice the light without a bit of shadow. Everything has both dark and light. You have to play with it till you get it exactly right."
- Libba Bray
p. 266
I like this quote because I find it true and when the author says it, you realize that even though everything seems perfect in the realms, there is always a negative side. I think this is foreshadowing what will happen later on in the book.
