Hmmmmm maybe. Anns a little too introverted with everyone else besides Gem and Fee to have fun.

Honestly, I don't think it was teared down, I thought it was built up. Because Kartik SAVED HER!Gave is soul for hers! And I'm happy that Libba didn't give us some stupid Epiloge and instead let us decide for ourselves! And Libba was right, we lose who we love, so even though I somewhat hated it, and even though sometimes I wonder why couldn't Fowlson be trapped? I mean his love had died anyways, I still loved it. So you should come up with how she deals with it! Use your imagination!

Margaret (margaretg) | 1 comments The Sweet Far Thing was BY FAR the best book out of the three. I cried when Kartik save Gemma and sacrificed himself!! And it was amazingly kind for Gemma to give up her postion in the after-life to Crice. There needs to be a fourth book though, otherwise it wasn't the best of endings. Ever since the first book I loved Kartik. Him and Gemma are one of my favorite fiction couples. I was happy Fowlson turned out to be mostly good in the end. It was weird how everyone in Spence got caught up in the action - but that was cool. I hope there's going to be a movie. I don't want to get anyone's hopes up but they are talking about one.

They are actually making a movie. It was amazingly kind, and it took a lot of strength. She had the decision to hide from destiny, to hide away, and she didn't, she did it, for Kartik. I really disagree with there needing to be a 4th book. I like how there is mystery, that you can decide for yoursef what happens.

My question now is: What is going to happen to Fee?


message 13: by Emma (new)

Emma  Blue (litlover) | 5135 comments Mod
well ya, obviously she's going to find someone, but just like, what is she going to do in Paris? Be an artists model or something? What do you guys think?

Emma  Blue (litlover) | 5135 comments Mod
I'm really interested in what Gem is going to major in. And I really think Ann should get together with that Charlie guy. I wonder what Fee will do, wear trousers and do archery probably. And I would like to know what you think has happened to Kartik, has he gone to the world beyond the realms or can Gemma see him? I wonder what Ann will do in the theatre, and what Fee will acomplish in France, and what will Gem's life be like, and what happened to Tom and- I have a lot of questions if you haven't noticed lol, what do you guys think?


message 15: by Emma (new)

Emma  Blue (litlover) | 5135 comments Mod
lol yes I have about a bagillion questions. I think your right about everything. Though I think Gemma should major in science and do writing. I mean, her knowledge of the realms should go SOMEWHERE on earth!!

I cried so hard at the end. Sobbing. Literally. I've said it's the 3rd time i've ever read, but seriously i sobbed. I was heartbroken. how could he?.... i was mad at libba at first, but i finally understood it was needed. I felt so sad about ann. gemma should go to school and learn real stuff, about literature and science and stuff, and go to america. i forget or does she do it? or is that fee? it's been a while

I completely agree. I was weeping, WEEPING! That was the very first time I ever cried because of a book. And I was sooo mad at Libba, but then I realized it was the only end that would give it justice, to leave the bittersweet taste in your mouth.

Emma  Blue (litlover) | 5135 comments Mod
Another thing I'm wondering about....does Ann hook up with that Charlie play-wright guy? They would be perfect together! (And he's certainly not the boring Tom)

Allie (pearlrose95) | 3724 comments Mod
I think she will. she does in my imagination at least.


message 28: by [deleted user] (new)

I think Ann will end up with Charlie. And I think Gemma should write a book about the realms. Maybe say its fiction so the Rackshana won't get mad, but it would seriously make a good book, cause its a bestseller here!


message 29: by [deleted user] (new)

I kinda teared up, but it wasn't full out weeping.
