The gripping conclusion to the critically acclaimed New York Times bestselling Gemma Doyle trilogy, an exhilarating and haunting saga from the author of The Diviners series and Under the Same Stars.

"A rare treat . . . beautifully crafted."--People

It has been a year of change since Gemma Doyle arrived at the foreboding Spence Academy. Her mother murdered, her father alaudanum addict, Gemma has relied on an unsuspected strength and has discovered an ability to travel to an enchanted world called the realms, where dark magic runs wild. Despite certain peril, Gemma has bound the magic to herself and forged unlikely new alliances. Now, as Gemma approaches her London debut, the time has come to test these bonds.

The Order—the mysterious group her mother was once part of—is grappling for control of the realms, as is the Rakshana. Spence's burned East Wing is being rebuilt, but why now? Gemma and her friends see Pippa, but she is not the same. And their friendship faces its gravest trial as Gemma must decide once and for all what role she is meant for.

There aren't many narrators I like more than her. Her accents might not always be on point, but you can tell who's speaking effortlessly, and she's definitely consistent about it.
The story however is all in all perfect for the average misunderstood 16yo girl I was, when I discovered it, but 10 years later I find it to be insufferable. Full of plot holes and character inconsistencies, weird behaviors and forced values. Most of the characters have only one defining trait.
So as someone who admires the British English, I enjoyed listening to the audio books for pronunciation purposes.

The narrator makes it enjoyable.

I loved the narration of Josephine Bailey, especially the way she read Kartik’s voice - I looked for more audiobooks she narrates just to continue listening. The story is really fascinating too - I loved the entire trilogy as it’s mysterious until the end!

Amazing narrator
