In this thrilling sequel, Gemma continues to pursue her destiny to bind the magic of the Realms and restore it to the Order. Gemma and her friends from Spence use magical power to transport themselves on visits from their corseted world of Victorian London (at the height of the Christmas season), to the visionary country of the Realms, with its strange beauty and menace. There they search for the lost Temple, the key to Gemma's mission, and comfort Pippa, their friend who has been left behind in the Realms. After these visits they bring back magical power for a short time to use in their own world. Meanwhile, Gemma is torn between her attraction to the exotic Kartik, the messenger from the opposing forces of the Rakshana, and the handsome but clueless Simon, a young man of good family who is courting her. This is the second book in Libba Bray's engrossing trilogy, set in a time of strict morality and barely repressed sensuality, about a girl who saw another way.

"I’m currently reading the Throne of Glass series.. getting into SJ Maas universe is quite the undertaking! I read this series by Libba Bray forever ago and this app recommended her other series to be added to my long TBR"

"Normally the middle book in a trilogy is just meant to be a build-up to the climax in the third, but Rebel Angels has such a strong plot that it could almost be a stand alone. The dark intrigue and plenty of riddles kept the story moving rapidly and now I cannot wait to see how things end for Gemma Doyle and her friends."

"I will admit, this book was going to be a 4/5, if it wasn’t for the very end. For me, it was one of those moments where, I’m not surprised that the twist happened. More so that the author actually went through with it! And I think that’s what I truly love about GDT. That Libba Bray pushes the envelope ever so slightly & features topics and character development that I’ve never seen before, especially for a young adult series."

"This trilogy is one of my favorites ever! Read it in high school and have read it again every few years since. The realistic depiction of the Victorian era is very interesting, and the story itself is simply gorgeous. 10/10."

"Very, very good. Much like the first book, I found this difficult, and at times impossible, to put down. Though I found one of the books reveals to be slightly predictable (actually I had my suspicions in book one), there are facets to this story that are still intensely gripping. This is one book that screams READ ME!"
