Libba Bray: A Great and Terrible Beauty


Not your ordinary tale of magic, Gemma Doyle is growing up in a Victorian, suppressive, on-the-brink of change time period, and she is trying to discover who she is.
Really powerful, Bray uses strong language, lyrical imagery, and literary devices (simile/metaphor, etc.) that aren't see as often in young adult fiction. An amazing book. I can't wait to read the last two.
