Book Review... Great and Terrible Beauty

This was a third book in the Gemma Doyle trilogy by Libba Bray.  My big review- not a fan of the last book...  The first was pretty OK.  The second was kinda OK.  The third one was WAY too long and drawn out and I thought the ending was just so wrong for the book!  I'm sorry- I think the author did a pretty good job of making you feel like you were back in 1800's england society and what not but ugh- it just stinks when you close the book wishing there were another ending.   Yeah so don't read these expecting to love the way it ends...  That's all I'm gonna say!  It was 817 pages or something and I feel like I wasted all that time cuz I hated the ending...  Oh bla de oh bla da   life goes on!

That's how I felt about Breaking Dawn. Yikes 817 pages. You'll never get that wasted time back! I felt that exact way when I read Wicked, dumm-o!

Thanks for the review. At first it sounded like books I might like but maybe not.
