I am supposed to have an online class now. It started 40 minutes ago (it’s now 8:45 AM …) and all I’ve learned so far is that everyone is having technical problems … so might as well write this review now. Smaragdgrün is the last book in that series and rereading it made me realise how much the movie has overshadowed it. The plot of the book is so much simpler and I honestly prefer it to the movie, because the movie was just wild. Also, James plays such a smaller role in the books than in the mo...

How am I so behind on my reviews? How? *deep sigh*Emerald Green was disappointing. I might as well get this out of the way really quickly, because while I really enjoyed reading both Ruby Red and Sapphire Blue - they were funny and light-hearted and extremely entertaining - I was thoroughly unimpressed with this one. The writing style was the same as always - not particularly flowery, but it flowed nicely nonetheless - but most of the things that made me excited about the first two books were go...

Rating: ⭐⭐Genre: Fantasy + Romance + Young AdultI’m not sure how I will review this book. All the problems I had with books one and two are still present here. I still couldn’t tell the timeframe differences and there was nothing to distinguish those periods from each other, at least in the way people behaved or talked. All were similar to me. The same thing goes for a dumb protagonist who everybody wants her to do things for them without giving her enough information to help her achieve those g...

I really enjoyed this book, in fact, the entire trilogy has been amazing. I think all the problems I had with Gwen's age or whatever, did not matter so much because this story is very, very good. It's true that perhaps, this could have been better as a standalone or a bilogy, but anyway...I think, my only objection is that the story takes place on a couple of weeks, maybe two in total. And so, the love story felt quite rushed. But, we need to see the positive side, there is no love triangles her...

This was such a great series. I might have to add this one to my physical collection. I love Gwyneth and Gideon as characters and as a romance. And the story is very intriguing. But I do wish it was a little better explained. Like where did the chronograph come from and why did it work the way that it did and why did it create a philosopher's stone? And where did the prophecies come from? Someone from the future who knew all that happened must have traveled back and made them, but who and why? W...

This was the best of the trilogy because it played with time travel the best. I read them all back to back and I'm not sure how the books would really stand up on their own because there was definitely only one arc that you had to wait until book 3 to see any twists or payoff. One twist was soooooo transparent though, and I felt like this just could have done more with the cool premise.Caution - LOTS of fat shaming throughout. I remember chapter 9 being pretty full of it. Descriptions like "his

“Hearts can't be broken because they're made of marzipan.”I just love love love the Precious Stone Trilogy! I don't know how many times I have already re-read these books, but it's always funny to read them, no matter how old I am.Emerald Green is the last installment and it's definitely as good as the previous two. However, the first part was a little bit long-drawned, because our poor Gwendolyn (Gwyneth) was whiny at the beginning. Nevertheless, Gwen has Leslie (Lesley) and Xemerius, who hel...

Despite being unhappy with the ending, I still really enjoyed this series as a whole. I wish they wouldn't have wrapped things up so quickly and gave a bit more details throughout the book. It has potential to be a 5 star book, but there were just a few things that were left to vague that caused it to miss the mark. I wish there was one more book in this series to continue the story on. The author could easily get more out of this story.

Star Rating: —> 5 StarsOHMYHEART! TRÉS FANTASTIQUE! WHAT A HIDDEN GEM OF A TRILOGY (pun intended) !!! It is the kind that you cherish & will re-read time & time again, & that steals a piece of your heart forever !Time travel is truly tricky for me—Definitely a hit or miss kind of trope... and this series was A BLAST !This final installment kept me guessing at every turn; what a ride it was! The whole of the ending was one I never could’ve POSSIBLY figured out! This truly is amazing as well, b...

Gwyneth “Gwen” Shepherd is in a race against time—past, present and future. She’s the last in a long line of time travelers, tied to the infamous Comte de St. Germaine, hunted through the ages by a rival secret society called the Florentine Alliance. The time travel gene only appears in one family member per generation, and up until a few weeks ago, everyone assumed it was Gwen’s overachieving cousin Charlotte. Now our awkward, rather goofy heroine has days to cram a lifetime’s worth of educatio...

I really enjoyed this series! This book was a good conclusion to the series. I was expecting a bit more but in the end I have no complaints. I read this trilogy pretty quickly because I was so entertained with plot. I am currently in the process of reading the author's Silver trilogy, which is also very good!

SpoilersWhat's what: Time travel, vague prophecies, silly heroine, douchey hero, evul Count with nefarious plans, oh noes, can silly heroine/douchey hero stop evul Count?-Gwen was a mopey cow, all she did was whine about Gideon, jump to conclusions about him, and get jealous whenever he was around other girls. She should have been concentrating on her time travel or on finding a way to stop that evul Count guy instead of acting all melodramatic about a guy she'd only met a couple of weeks ago. G...

"Odd that a broken heart can beat at all, come to think of it."°•*⁀➷this was such a wonderful trilogy. such a wonderful ending. such a happy few books. i can understand why so many people think of them as their comfort books.this was my favorite of the trilogy. so much was happening the entire time. i was never bored, nor agitated. i loved when they came back from the ball onto to find out gwen was immortal and gideon explained to her why he said he just wanted to be friends. it was so clear to

⋰⋱⋰⋱⋰⋱*Glad To Be Done*⋰⋱⋰⋱⋰⋱ Re-read: 08.01.2022 Since I had re-read book one and two, I had to re-read this one as well. I skimmed most of the book mainly because it has too much information and the rest is filled with immature teenage drama. On top of that, the author gave us a such an anti-climatic ending. I was like "that's it?" Overall, I don't regret re-reading book one, however, after that, the series got really boring and immature and I started skimming and regretting. That said,

“You mean he's not afraid of me because I'm a woman? He ought to see Tomb Raider sometime. For all he knows, I could have a nuclear bomb under my dress and a hand grenade in each cup of my bra. I call it antifeminist!”This was the best book in the trilogy. I call it an outstanding finale. More excitement, more thrill, more fun, more emotions and so many unexpected twists and turns. I love this whole series so much, it has exactly what I look for in books: a fantastic way to escape reality for a

No.its over. no. I NEED MORE!!! :''( I will never get over these books!!! SO GOOD!!! Okay lets review this bitch. Ready? Ready when you are. *crying* These books were so magical,funny,enlightening,dark,mysterious,tear-making,ground-breaking..addicting!!! ♥ I love love love Gideon and Gwen..orrr shall i say Gwenny?? *starts crying again* Even if their relationship was formed in only a couple of weeks,maybe a month, i really loved them together. They were meant to be and they are perfect for each

This is the story of how a potentially good premise and a relatively good and entertaining first book turned into a disappointing sequel and a friggin' mess at the end.Seriously, I'm utterly surprised at how quickly it all went downhill since the moment those two kids kissed at the end of first book. From that on, it was all about Gwendolyn's raging hormones and how she just lost her senses around plain and bland Gideon (those descriptions making him seem like a greek god don't live up to how ac...

3.5 I really enjoyed this book and the series overall. However, I found the story (especially the end) a tad too convenient. Also insta love was SO present. And Gwen was a drama queen and didn't really have her priorities straight.

4 Stars!(BR with Lexie) -We can't stop time, but it will sometimes stand still for love. PEARL S. BUCK Emerald Green is the final book in the story of the two in love time travelling teenagers Gideon de Villiers & Gwyneth Shepherd. Gideon is this gorgeous cool guy all the girls are after & Gwen is the 16 yr. old normal girl in HS who is thrown into the world of time travel, & can also suddenly see ghosts. Gideon & Gwen are part of a secret group of twelve time travelers. They are forced by...

Gwendolyn finds the second chronograph and can thus travel into the past, without the box. In time, she realises, that Gideon is on her side and together with Lucy and Paul, they plan to silence the Count once and for all. Gewondolyn and Gideon can be together forever through the secret and magic of the Raven. The third and final book in the Gemstone series, has it all. Once again, Kerstin Gier enchants readers with wit and suspense. I find, the ending a bit of a shame, as I had imagined the end...
