It has been a year of change since Gemma Doyle arrived at the foreboding Spence Academy. Having bound the wild, dark magic of the realms to her, Gemma has forged unlikely and unsuspected new alliances both with the headstrong Felicity and timid Ann, Kartik, the exotic young man whose companionship is forbidden, and the fearsome creatures of the realms. Now, as Gemma approaches her London debut, the time has come to test those bonds. As her friendship with Felicity and Ann faces its gravest trial, and with the Order grappling for control of the realms, Gemma is compelled to decide once and for all which path she is meant to take. Pulled forward by fate, the destiny Gemma faces threatens to set chaos loose, not only in the realms, but also upon the rigid Victorian society whose rules Gemma has both defied and followed. Where does Gemma really belong? And will she, can she, survive?

"This series is so visual to me! I want it to be made into a movie or a show! I'm honestly not really sure why it's rated as juvenile fiction on here. Though I suppose that could be another way of saying YA. Enjoyable either way for all ages. "

"Took me sooo long to finish this (to the point where a reread of the full series is probs my needed. But that’s for another time when I want to give the Diviners a read), but honestly? It was absolutely worth the wait.<br/>I seriously don’t understand everyone’s negative reviews for this book. <br/>While yes, the page length is long, this series has easily become a favorite of mine! And I can’t wait to eventually step into the realms again."

"This book I believe is the best in the series. Good people turn out to be bad. A splash of love and a whole lot of female friendship. And it also shows that women can be more powerful then men. "

"Is it just me......or does this book move really slowly! It's nearly killing me here! I mean let's get a move on already!!<br/><br/>**update** okay so I finished the book! The last 3rd of the book is when things finally start to pick up! And the ending killed me! I mean really....where is the happily ever after?!? I'm glad to have finished the series but it's not one I'll choose to revisit!!"
