Über diesen Titel

 It has been a year of change since Gemma Doyle arrived at the foreboding Spence Academy. Her mother murdered, her father a laudanum addict, Gemma has relied on an unsuspected strength to turn catty schoolgirls into loyal friends, 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 with headstrong Felicity and timid Ann; with Kartik, an exotic young Indian man whose companionship is forbidden; and with the fearsome creatures of the realms. Now, as Gemma approaches her London debut, the time has come to test these bonds. The Order, the mysterious group Gemma's mother was once part of, is grappling for control of the realms, as are the Rakshana. It is there that the girls meet their adored friend Pippa, who is not the same?or is she? The power to change everything - both in and out of the realms - rests in Gemma's hands.

Libba Bray's The Sweet Far Thing concludes the trilogy that began with the bestsellers A Great and Terrible Beauty and Rebel Angels.

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

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.
