I am choosing to offer up my thoughts on this book and the previous two books in the series Great and Terrible Beauty and Rebel Angels altogether here. I've discovered that I loathe writing reviews on books that I don't feel strongly about one way or other - especially a series like this one in which so many other respected individuals have adored. I will say that Libba Bray is an wonderful writer and I enjoyed her elegant and detailed style. There was never a time where I felt in want of details of the physical or emotional environment in which the characters found themselves. In Sweet Far Thing I was drawn in by the feel of gothic-ness to the writing and storyline; full of danger, death, magic and love. There is a deep and poignant message of strife that navigates through the entire series and blooms in each of the primary characters. The strife of the woman trying to be free in a society that found a woman trapped, unable to think and do much for themselves outside of a man's protection and guidance; the strife of finding oneself in a class, cast, and position that is seemingly unchangeable; the strife of feeling and thinking things and behaving in ways that are real expressions of who you are but that others find inappropriate and unacceptable. The biggest strife was that of Gemma - possesing an ability she doesn't understand, responsible for the future of a world she knows nothing about, unable to trust anyone in a time when she needs an elder's wisdom and guidance. I think this was my biggest frustration with the Gemma Doyle experience - I wanted her to have a Dumbledore figure that helped and carried her through this time of change, confusion and expectancy. There were various individuals which fulfilled this role in varying degrees but it was always colored by the taint of partial distrust. I just can't imagine being Gemma, so confused by what is going on and having no one to turn to for guidance, not one to trust in. As you can see, there were many qualities about this series and author that I enjoyed and respected but it was in bits and pieces and only after some analysis and deep thought - there were also many moments throughout that I found flat and repetitive and annoying. Overall and in conclusion, it was not at all a waste of time, I do not at all regret starting or finishing this series. It is a series that is worth your time.

‘He’s dead, isn’t he?’ Paul said, staring straight ahead as Anna drank from her bottle before screwing the cap back on. ‘We don’t know that. What we need to do is find someone who saw the other side of Alan Rawlins, because so far I think it’s all too good to be true. No one is that perfect. He will have secrets – maybe dark ones.’ In this seventh Anna Travis novel, the bright, young Travis is now a Detective Chief Inspector taking charge of her first case under the watchful eye of Detective Chief Superintendent James Langton. It is a case that proves surprising, increasingly complicated and more than a little frustrating. Devoted son and faithful boyfriend Alan Rawlins has been reported missing, and a menacing pool of blood has been found at his flat, of a quantity and density that no person could survive losing. To add to the tension, Langton, a former lover with whom Travis now has a complicated but platonic relationship, threatens to pull the plug if she doesn’t get results fast, but there is no body and no DNA to match the blood against for identification. Has Rawlins been brutally murdered or did he himself commit a terrible and violent crime? This latest novel from crime queen Lynda La Plante, creator of Prime Suspect and Above Suspicion, will appeal to readers who love a smart, classic police procedural who dunnit. Check out my interview with the wonderful and fascinating Lynda La Plante for Tara in Conversation, and hear her fascinating research stories, including her time at a Russian mortuary… Watch my interview with Lynda La Plante here for 13th Street Universal: http://www.13thstreetuniversal.com.au...
