This book..was really great :)
It didn't move into the story too slow or anything(It actually started with her Mom dying...)
Some of the stuff surprised me(like how Mary Dowd was her mother..Whoa..)
And that little girl that was with Gemma's Mom..does anyone think that it could be Caroline? It sounded like her after awhile.
And after I heard that Sarah called herself some special name..I knew she was either the Huntress or Connected to Her. And, I was really surprised when we found out that Circe was Sarah..and that neither Mary nor Sarah had died in that fire. Does that mean Eugenia survived in some way? Like she's trapped in the same way as Amar?
And what was up with Kartik? Really..I knew they were going to have some kinda thing when we met him straight at the beginning. And were those dreams Gemma had of him w/ her real? ‘Cuz they were kinda strange..after she saw him again and he didn't say anything to her.
I was kinda sad about Pippa “dying” but not really. Pippa would've gone with Felicity no matter what(So would Ann..but Two could be halfway matched by one..and maybe thrown off course by one).
The Felicity thing REALLY irked me. I wouldn't have taken her back as a friend. Not. At. All. Actually, I probably would've left Pippa alone after what she did to Ms.Moore(Really..how low could you get to blame your troubles on a teacher? Sheeshh..)
Anyways..it was good. And I'd definitely recommend it to peoplez.
