Warning: SPOILERS AHEAD (just look at the title; go back now if you haven't read the book). This video presents the climax of the power struggle in The Sweet Far Thing, by Libba Bray, between the creatures of the Winterlands and the inhabitants of the Realms and Woodlands in a climactic war near the end of the book, in which Gemma, the Most High, takes part. The video is from her POV, and shows her anxiety, anger at the other priestesses for burdening her with restoring the balance (and anger at her mother, Mary Dowd, and at Sarah Rees-Toome for disrupting the balance in the first place), her fear and questioning over what she has done and what has happened to bring her there, and her loving bond with Kartik, who in the end sacrifices himself to the Tree of All Souls to save her.

As to the song, the first and second verses, plus the bridge, are Gemma, and the chorus is the Winterlands' inhabitants, enticing her to be their sacrificial offering.

Music: "Sweet Sacrifice", by Evanescence.

Cast
Sienna Guillory/Rachel Hurd-Wood- Gemma
Kartik-Orlando Bloom (mostly)
Sarah Rees-Toome- Nicole Kidman
Mary Dowd/Virginia Doyle- Kate Winslet

  • woooaahhhh

    whos the actor at 1:40??

    omg he looks so familiar

  • I don't know, actually. He just came up on an image search. One thing I do know, though, is that his name really *is* Kartik.

  • Good video, but Orlando Bloom can't be Kartik.

  • I totally agree with you on that; I just used him for this slideshow, bc he looked rather Kartik-esque in Troy.

  • leftyliz140!

    i could absoulutly kiss u right now!

    i love the song and the video is the best!

    i actually listen to evanesence when i'm reading it!

  • Thank you! I actually got the idea to combine Evanescence and AGATB from my good buddy Gemini12590. Evanescence is the official band of the Gemma Doyle trilogy (if book series could have rock bands, that is).
