Good

I think this book was extremely good as well as the rest of the series. I would definately recommend this book to teens, young adults, pre-teens and even adults. Especially if you like fantasy and young adult books!

One of the best sequels

Gemma Doyle has had to face much since she discovered her magic. But her journey is not over. She still has to defeat Circe and find the temple to bind the magic which is now free since the runes were smashed. Circe and the Rakshana are still after her and she does not know who to trust and who to blame. She does not even know if she can trust her dead friend Pippa. Along with all that she still has to figure out her feelings for the hansome Kartik. Again with the help of Felicity, Ann, and Kartik she must bind the magic to save the relms and defeat one of the most powerful enemies even if it is one of her friends. This book was better than the first and delivers more magic, excitement, and romance.

Amazing sequel

As soon as I finished A Great and Terrible Beauty, I ran out and got Rebel Angels! Thank goodness that it had come out 5 days before!! I really enjoyed this book, the characters were very real, the plot was twisting and keeps you holding your breath till the very end. The ending is also such that you praise Bray for having made this story into a trilogy, so you know that the adventure isn't over quite yet. If you liked A Great and Terrible Beauty, you are sure to like Rebel Angels as well.

Just keeps getting better

It's rare that I like a second book in a series more than the first but that's the case this time around. Rebel Angels is a fantastic follow up to A Great and Terrible Beauty (which I also loved). The plot is more complex, we see much more of the realms, and the characters come to life with even greater clarity.

As a fan of traditional gothic terror/suspense along the lines of Frankenstein and The Mysteries of Udolpho, I wasn't disappointed by what other reviewers may feel are cliched or overused plot devices. I love the gothic-style, Victorian setting (gargoyles on the school building, burned out sections of the school, foggy/misty woods); old, musty books that reveal dark, ancient secrets; asylums; heroines walking around in the dead of night. That's my kind of story.

I've become a huge fan of Libba Bray's writing style as well. I love her prose and narration, the flow of dialog and descriptions of settings. I can't say enough good things! I loved this book and can't wait to get started on the next. My only gripe is that there's only one more book in the series to read. I can't imagine anyone who enjoyed A Great and Terrible Beauty not also loving this. Highly recommended.

Simply put, it was spellbinding.

I believe I liked this one better than A Great and Terrible Beauty. The writing was better with longer sentences and more variety in length and language. There was more story; with a thicker and deeper plot that was somehow very alluring like the Harry Potter but written with a superior skill to J.K. Rowling. Simply put, it was spellbinding.
