3.5 starsThis series is so fun to read! It's fast-paced and humorous, with witty characters and the cutest romance. I'm having a blast reading it! I would write something more articulate, but you know, book three is already waiting for me...

“Unfortunately it's an incontrovertible fact that sound common sense flies out of the window as soon as love comes in through the door.”Even better than Ruby Red. Because of Xemerius(why didn't she introduce him in the first book?)and because of that hilarious ball where Gwyneth/Gwendolyn (which is her actual name in the German and original version of this book) is getting incredibly drunk and does...things she definitely wouldn't do when sober.I rarely have this much fun when reading a book but...

I. Need. The. Part. Three. Now.We get more time travels than in the first book, that one was definitely the introductory book to this world...Also finally we discover the meaning of something that has been mentioned in the prophecy, which I believe it was pretty obvious since the first time it was mentioned but ... it is what it is. We will get some answers and more questions too. I suspect that many explanations are being saved for the third and last part. Overall, the plot is quite simple. Thi...

Oh my gosh, do I really have to wait for OCTOBER for this book to be translated into English???? AHHH! I'm so excited. And I suppose by October I'll be stuck back in dinky Dayton so I'll have to wait even longer to get my hands on a copy. ^.^ Maybe I should just re-read Ruby Red...Finished 12/28/12*sigh*So much potential. So, so much potential. Unfortunately, it doesn't live up to it.The plot is still interesting. In fact, its creative and fun and quite enjoyable. But the characters!Oi. The char...

It’s hard to believe the number of bloggers and readers out there that haven’t heard about this wonderful young adult series. Ruby Red, the first book, brought to us an adventure that included time-traveling, secrets, carriages, evil barons, and a little bit of romance. Sapphire Blue continues on from there with double the trouble, triple the action, and quadruple the romance! The characters were once again, very engaging, and I had no problem with getting hooked into the story. Time-travel book...

SpoilersI didn't really like this, it irritated the hell out of me. The heroine, Gwen, could have been a decent character had it not been for the ghastly romance and the vile love interest (the douche dick Gideon). Every time Gwen was near Gideon or thought about him (which was most of the time), I lost respect for her. She was weak, pathetic and desperate. He treated her like utter shit and the dumb bitch let him, she would be mad and upset when he acted like bastard but as soon as she saw him

I've had a few days to compose my thoughts, and because it's late I will be posting the full review tomorrow. As for now... My Thoughts, Compiled as Neatly and Efficiently as Possible at 11 PM on Finals Week: - This book was not as good as Ruby Red in my opinion, even though I still enjoyed it. Really hoping Emerald Green is better.- I! Love! Gideon! He is my baby!!!- I'm still in love with the time travel. (view spoiler)[The party scene was just so accurate for that time period. I especially

Really enjoyed the book but, I have so many questions! Just posted my full book discussion: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaZuuI... ! So excited for book 3!

⋰⋱⋰⋱⋰⋱*Might Contains Spoilers*⋰⋱⋰⋱⋰⋱ Re-read: 07.01.2022 Here is where I truly felt like this series was a YA series. Why? Well for the stupid insta-love and the 'I love you's' after a week. The jealousy, the childish behavior of an immature teenager and the "he doesn't love me" attitude = too much. I have to admit that I skimmed quite a bit of this book. I lost interest fast and there was just too much information and I just want them to get to the fucking point. All the not telling the

"Don't forget that when you shout the echo comes back the same."°•*⁀➷okay - that ending?!? crazy!!!this book was quite the little whirlwind of emotions. i don't know how gwen is handling so much information all at once, but i think fantasy characters are so much better suited to handling crazy situations than i ever could be. it's been the craziest week of her life and she's in love with a boy who seems to be playing a two sided sword. i'm glad that i know he isn't, and can't wait to see where t...

First of all this book was a slight improvement of the first. This series so far has shown me that it is indeed possible to thoroughly dislike the main guy love interest. I can barely tolerate Gideon. Most of the time I want to bash him over the head. The whole love dynamic in this book was ridiculous. They have only known each other for less than a week. I repeat LESS THAN A WEEK. which mostly consisted of arguing, insults and arrogance from Gideon's side. And the insta-love on Gwyn's side. Idi...

Sapphire Blue picks up right after Ruby Red. it’s been a few days since Gwen Shephard discovered that she, not her cousin Charlotte, inherited the “time-travel gene” that manifests in one girl of each generation in their family. The Montrose-Shephard family have assumed till now that Charlotte was the one with the power, and trained her since infancy accordingly. But it’s really been Gwen all along, and she is utterly unprepared. There’s a sinister conspiracy that spans the centuries, about to c...

HIC RHODOS, HIC SALTA, BITCHES! All in all, book 2 was a little weaker than book 1 ... because the plot is just so damn slow-going ... but it was still a hell of a ride and so much fun to read. Also, I like book 2 much more than its movie adaption because for some weird reason they decided to seriously SEX UP this movie ... when in fact, its target audience is 14-year-old girls... I am confusion. The book is so pure, so there's no need for that??? Like, at all??Anyways, like I said, not much hap...

Arghh.I like this series, I do. WIth a few complaints. My biggest complaint is that it is a series, instead of a single book. Not much happened it the first and frankly not a whole lot happens in the second. I got SO (in all caps!) tired of no one telling Gwen anything. Eventually some things are revealed. Ish. But you shouldn't have to read 2 books in the series to start getting answers. Yes, I'll read the next. As long as my complaints are duly noted.

STILL SUPER FUN

Rating: ⭐⭐ ½Genre: Fantasy + Young AdultThis is the second book in the Precious Stone trilogy. Gwyneth here is still finding it difficult to understand and learn the basic principles behind time traveling. There is a new demon character that appears in this installment (Xemerius) and only Gwen is able to see him. This demon has a major role and influence in this book. I struggled while reading this book. Have been switching between the physical book and the audiobook. It is too hard to immerse i...

WOW!!! :O *forever crying* This book was just as great as the first one!!! I loved it. I laughed. I cried. Loved it. I'm so obsessed with this series!! Few spoilers ahead: I loved the soiree and the singing? i laughed so hard in this scene!! Gwen drunk?? So funny!!! Gideon? Still in love with him..but he really pissed me off!! At the end though..well he does love her. right? he loves her. right?? right?? *crying again* I just can't with all the feels!!! My poor sweet Gwen is so miserable and hur...

This book is a good sequel to Ruby Red. It's a light read that will have you laugh hysterically. There is a lot more time travel in this one and some interesting details of the prophecy are revealed.In the first book, Gwen seemed a bit immature for her age, and she doesn't really evolve in that regard in this book. I think that is probably the main reason I gave the overall series 4 stars instead of 5. Even though Gwen is hilarious, she is not a great role model or heroine. She lacks a tiny bit

I still love these books - I'm so happy! Maybe part of it is nostalgia, but I haven't been this entertained in a while. I read quite a bit of this on my rides to and from university and I must've been quite the sight to the people on the train. I constantly had to force myself not to laugh out loud, but couldn't stop myself from grinning every other page. Gwen's thoughts and comments made my day. The sass! Rereading this, it turns out, has been one of my smarter decisions.
