Blue: Trilogia delle gemme 2 | Kerstin Gier
Molto probabilmente il mio organismo aveva prodotto pi adrenalina negli ultimi giorni che nei sedici anni precedenti. Erano successe cos tante cose e avevo avuto cos poco tempo per riflettere... Gwendolyn ha tutte le ragioni di questo mondo per pensarla cos. Ha appena scoperto di non essere una normale ragazza londinese, bens una viaggiatrice nel tempo che i Guardiani - una setta segreta che ha sede nel dedalo di vie intorno a Temple Church - invia nelle epoche passate per prelevare una goccia di sangue dai dodici prescelti e completare il Cronografo, una missione da cui dipendono i destini dell'umanit. Peccato che la sua famiglia non l'avesse informata perch tutti erano convinti che la predestinata fosse l'odiosa cugina Charlotte e peccato che, di conseguenza, Gwen avesse trascorso gli ultimi sedici anni della propria vita a studiare (poco), giocare (molto), chiacchierare e divertirsi con le amiche come ogni ragazza. Mentre avrebbe dovuto imparare a tirare di scherma, ballare il minuetto, apprendere nozioni di storia universale e conversare in modo appropriato con l'aristocrazia del Settecento. Quasi tutto, nella sua nuova situazione, la infastidisce: essere sballottata avanti e indietro nei secoli, la supponenza mista a invidia della cugina Charlotte, la noia delle lezioni di ballo e portamento... Poche cose le piacciono: il piccolo doccione fantasma Xemerius, che solo lei, Gwen-rosso-rubino con la magia del corvo pu vedere e, naturalmente, il suo compagno di viaggi nel tempo: Gideon, bello da morire, anche se talmente imprevedibile con lei da farla impazzire dal desiderio e dalla rabbia insieme. Invece, senza alcun dubbio, Gwen sa di cosa avere paura: del conte di Saint Germain, il grande burattinaio che tiene le fila di tutto e che vuole completare al pi presto il Cronografo, prima che i nemici glielo impediscano. Ma chi sono veramente i nemici? Perch Gwen non riesce a fidarsi di lui? Avventuroso e divertente, romantico e spiritoso, Blue un caso editoriale scoppiato in Germania (in vetta alle classifiche per pi di 76 settimane) che sta appassionando i lettori di tutto il mondo.

This is what I call "middle book filler syndrome" where the author wants to stretch it to a trilogy when in actuality, it could've been a duology. It felt like a lot of repeating activities and spinning your wheels plot-wise which was kinda frustrating. I still enjoyed it but this could've been cut down and a hundred extra pages could've been added to book one and three. I also thoroughly detest this cover

Maddeline It‘s one of my favorites❤️❤️❤️ 6y

Ugh I kinda hate myself cause these covers make me angry but I actually enjoyed Ruby Red and really wanna pick this up today

LaLecture Ugh, the German covers are so beautiful! What did they do to these poor books in the English editions 😭? Hope you‘ll still enjoy the books. I loved the whole series :). (edited) 6y
SassenachTheBookWizard @LaLecture we ruin a lot of books with these basic covers. They literally just revealed a sequel for Natalie Parker's book and swapped out this fire pirate symbol for white-ish girls on a pirate ship 6y
julesG @LaLecture Agree, the German covers are wonderful. I just can't get into the story. It's been sitting on my shelf since August. 6y
emtobiasz Ah, see, teenage me totally would have picked this up for this cover 😂 I read the entire Luxe series just based on the pretty dresses on their covers, too 6y

Ruby Red, book 2, translated by Anthea Bell.

Gwen is learning to navigate her abilities and trying to solve the mystery of the Circle. Lucy and Paul seem trustworthy, but everyone keeps telling her they are the villains. Luckily, she has the help of her best friend (and Google), her various ghost companions, and the hilarious gargoyle demon Xemerius. I found her insta-love with Gideon annoying, but otherwise this is a fun read.

It's cold and dark outside and after some serious reads I need something light... I hope the German is not too hard as I'm rusty ;)

julesG It's not the first in the series, I hope you know that. The first is Rubinrot, which I still have to read. 6y
catsuit_mango @julesG thanks Jules, yes I've read Rubinrot already but as I took some time in between my German needs to be reactivated every time I read a new one ;) I don't practice enough. 6y
julesG Sounds like me and my French. 6y

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for Sapphire Blue. It still had that juvenile feel to it for the ages of the characters, but the mystery and plot twists have intensified making the story much more interesting than the first.

Loved this one! This is the second book in a trilogy (I read Book 1, Ruby Red, a while ago) and I am currently reading Book 3. Awesome YA time travel adventure with a little bit of romance.

"Why couldn't Gideon act normal? First he kissed me (more than once, at that!), then he was back to talking like a lordly Grand Master of the Guardians' Lodge again."

Why is Gideon so insufferable?

I'm enjoying this series so far. It's fun, and funny, and a light easy read which is exactly what I was in the mood for. And bonus! My Dove's chocolate promises told me to "Actually go to a bookstore." Well, you don't have to tell me twice! ?? #easyreading #chocolate #whythehellnot
