Sweet zombie Jesus, I love this woman. (For the uninitiated, she wrote A Great and Terrible Beauty, and its sequels Rebel Angels and The Sweet Far Thing).
I just finished The Sweet Far thing. And it. was. awesome. "Privilege is not always power." <3 There are so many things I love about this series, from the realms and its inhabitants, to Spence Academy, and virtually every character. Seriously - her characters are so well-drawn, so multi-faceted that I can't help but love them all a little. Even the evil ones. Maybe especially the evil ones, because they're so genuinely scary.
I can't believe there isn't a larger fandom for this series. Objection!
There appears to be a movie in production. But in production could mean 'in the process of becoming a totally awesome movie' or it could mean 'in the process of moldering away on a shelf'. Let's hope it's the former. :|
But seriously - how is there not more of a fandom for this? It's got snarky, rebellious teenage girls. Magic. Forbidden love. Loads of teenage angst. Loads of tragedy and comedy and horror. It couldn't be more perfect for fandom. Possibly it needs more hot guys?
