- Whose perspective is missing
My independent The Sweet Far Thing by Libba Bray is the third book in series. Its about three girls exploring their powers in a magical other realm. The book is set in the late 1800s and the main character Gemma is the only one with magical powers, this leaves resentment from her friends Felicity and Ann who rely on Gemma to enter the realms. The book is shown through Gemmas perspective for many reasons. For example if it were shown through Anns perspective there would be less of a plot because most of the events in the book take place around Gemma and her magic. Also if the book was Felicity's perspective you would get the outlook of blind frustration towards Gemma for holding all the magic. With Gemmas perspective you see how much pressure she has with all her power and your have more insight, thats why the author choose Gemmas perspective.
