Emerald Green by Kerstin Gier


Emerald Green (The Ruby Red Trilogy, #3)Emerald Green 



Gwen 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.

This stunning conclusion picks 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.

Another fabulous ending for a series I’ve enjoyed a ton - I think this will be the year of closure. I’ve loved the world Gier has created and enjoyed visiting it again (and I had a ton of fun rereading the first two books in preparation.) This last book made me love the first two books even more - I didn't even remember being disappointed by a few things in the 2nd book - I loved Gideon much more, Gwen finally figured out what was going on, and I love love the series as a whole. I love Gier's characters, the mysteries, the friendships and romance. It was a world I wanted to spend more time in even after the ending - I wasn’t done yet! But that doesn’t mean the ending wasn’t fabulous. Questions were answers, happily ever afters were achieved. A hugely fun series, one I will probably reread over and over. This story and characters wouldn't leave me for days - truly a sign of an excellent series.

Mom note: As a mother of readers, I also want to make a note to myself (and others if they care) why I would or would not have my children read this book, because honestly, sometimes I forget. This is a YA book, so everything is within YA strictures. Violence: moderate; Profanity: weirdly enough, a bit; Sex: no
