Emerald Green - Kerstin Gier
Gwendolyn has a destiny to fulfill, but no one will tell her what it is. She’s only recently learned that she is the Ruby, the final member of the time-traveling Circle of Twelve, and since then nothing has been going right. She suspects the founder of the Circle, Count Saint-German, is up to something nefarious, but nobody will believe her. And she’s just learned that her charming time-traveling partner, Gideon, has probably been using her all along. Emerald Green is the stunning conclusion to Kerstin Gier's Ruby Red Trilogy, picking up where Sapphire Blue left off, reaching new heights of intrigue and romance as Gwen finally uncovers the secrets of the time-traveling society and learns her fate.
Wow, such gorgeous covers this trilogy has, I remember when I was in my library and I my eyes immediately caught this book, I read the description on the back and I decided to take it home with me. I must say, that was one of the best decision in my book life. I love these series a lot, actually, they're my favourite series,
But, why are they my favourite series? That's because these books have everything. I like it when the characters are a little cheesy sometimes, and Kerstin managed to make it cheesy, but not too cheesy. The world and the story were original, but the whole 'handsome guy falls in love with an ordinary girl thing' was here too.
This storyline is so amzingly written, once I started reading I literally couldn't stop. Towards the end, many secrets were revealed (they were all so mindblowing, I didn't expect anything (although my close book-friend did), and I was like: ' What am I going to do with my life now?' So I started watching the movies again (The last movie is actually coming out this summer in Germany).
Gwendolyn is a very strong but realistic character, and looking at the fact that this is Fantasy, this was so well done and actually kept it very interesting. Gideon just 'reads' handsome, like, I had no idea what he looked like, but I just expected him to be this sexy looking handsome guy tsundere (Japanese term for guy with a cold expression and warm heart) who cares so much for Gwendolyn. Even thinking about it makes me feel warm inside :').
I RECOMMEND THIS TO EVERYONE, seriously, this book series needs more attention. Definitely 5/5 stars from me.
