Note: This contains slight spoilers for Book One in this series, Ruby Red, but none for this book, Book Two in the trilogy.

In Ruby Red, sixteen-year-old Gwyneth Shepherd, called Gwen, discovers she has inherited the time-travel gene that enables – indeed, requires – frequent forays into the
Show More
past. A “chronograph” developed by a secret society of “Guardians” allows time travelers to control their travel so that they do not fade in and out of time inconveniently. Gwen is joined in her travels by Gideon, 18, who has been traveling for two years now.

According to the annals of the Guardians, there are to be only twelve carriers of the time traveling gene ever, and Gwen is the twelfth. This creates a great deal of plot tension, since no one knows (1) why there will only be twelve and (2) what happens when the Twelfth “closes the circle” as predicted, or even (3) what is meant by “closing the circle.”

Moreover, Gwen has another “gift” as well: she can see and hear dead people. This is no “Sixth Sense” phenomenon, however; these dead are cute, friendly, and generally just people or creatures who refuse to die once and for all, for various reasons. In Sapphire Blue, Gwen happens upon the ghost of a dead gargoyle named Xemerius, who decides to stay with her as a companion, since she is the only one who has seen or heard him in centuries.

Gwen, her best friend Lesley, and Xermerius engage in various strategies to get to the bottom of all the mysteries (such as the whyfor and whereabouts of two missing time travelers from the past), even as Gwen continues to time travel, AND proceeds to fall head over heels for Gideon. Gideon, however, is something of a cipher himself: one minute he can’t resist Gwen, and another, he is hostile and suspicious of her. What’s going on?

Discussion: There is plenty of levity to lighten the sometimes complex plot proceedings: the first time Gideon really goes at kissing Gwen, she observes that she has mutated into a human blancmange (or pudding), and a very humorous passage ensues due to her turning into the equivalent of a formless blob. And at an 18th Century soiree, Gwen gets besotted on the punch, and decides karaoke is in order. Gideon has to stop her before she segues from “Memory” in Cats to “I Feel Pretty” from West Side Story! (Fortunately the rest of the guests are also so punch-drunk - literally! - they don’t notice that they are hearing Andrew Lloyd Webber 200 years ahead of time….)

Evaluation: There is a lot to like in this series, especially when the author eschews the complicated plotline related to the Guardians and the Twelve and sticks with the main characters from the present and their interrelationships. The bits about the secret society and how the members go back and forth and form enemies and alliances were a bit confusing for me – it was hard to keep track of who did what to whom in what century. On the other hand, I found the parts about Gwen and Gideon and Lesley and Xemerius just delightful.

I liked the first book, Ruby Red, better: it is less convoluted. On the other hand, this one has a lot more comic aspects. I look forward to the third book in the series, Emerald Green, especially since the ending of this book leaves everything pretty much unresolved.

My recommendation? Because the plot is complicated in places and the first two books don't actually end anyway, I would suggest waiting for the third to come out and then reading them altogether! (Then again, I tend to forget what happened ten pages ago in whatever I'm reading, so if you have better retention skills than I do, you could enjoy these books as they are published!)

Sapphire Blue is the sequel to Ruby Red, as well as the second book in a trilogy. I received an ARE of the novel, and did not previously read the first novel.

Overall, I found this novel fairly enjoyable. The novel appears to leave off approximately where the first one leaves off. This in medias rei
Show More
approach is nice, because the pace of the novel is, for the most part, quick and fun.

The exception to this description is the romance story line, which was annoying and dramatic. Other than that, though, I found the novel fairly enjoyable.

The time travel important to the story lines of this trilogy is very interesting, particularly because the writing of the time shifts is very well done.

I was able to follow along very well, but still recommend that you read Ruby Red before delving into this story. I got a good feeling for all of the characters, but felt that it would have been a little bit more fun to be revisiting them in Sapphire Blue rather than meeting them for the first time. Also, while I caught on to most of the time travel lingo going on, it probably would have been easier had I read the first novel.

I will say, despite the annoying romance stuff, that I will probably read the next novel (Emerald Green) in the trilogy to find out how the series ends!

The second installment of the Ruby Red trilogy is even more action packed and fast paced than the first book. I really enjoyed getting to know the characters even better in the second book, especially the brewing romance.

This is the second book in the Edelstein Trilogy by Gier. The third book is scheduled for a 2013 release. I got a copy of this book to review through the Amazon Vine program. It was a wonderful read; Gwen learns more about her time traveling gene and we get to learn more about the Guardians as a

whole.

Gwen is trying to figure out all this time-traveling stuff and unravel some of the secrets behind the Circle of Twelve. Her partner in time-travel is the very hot and cold Gideon. Will Gwen be able to balance her school, time traveling, and social life without getting killed by the mystery surrounding the Circle of Twelve?

I love Gwen as a character, she is very down to earth. Gwen is trying her best to learn everything she needs to learn to blend into historical settings, but she is constantly being compared to Charlotte (her cousin who already had 15+ years of time traveling training). Gwen takes a pretty good attitude towards everything and I enjoyed reading about her.

Gideon drove me nuts, if I were Gwen I would have smacked him numerous times. He is so hot and cold about Gwen, that I was never really sure where their relationship was going. A lot of page space is given to the back and forths of their “relationship”. This isn’t all bad because these scenes are very well done.

The mystery unravels in a very deliberate way and I enjoyed the way new tidbits of information were slowly dealt out to the reader. I shared in Gwen’s frustration of not knowing what was going on. The way the mystery is slowly being unraveled is absolutely engrossing and makes for a super engaging read.

My only complaint is that I wish we had seen more time travel in the story. In most of the time travel scenes Gwen is going to a cellar to do homework; it would have been awesome to see Gwen in some more scenes that take place out in historical public areas.

The ending is a bit frustrating as well. It ends on a total cliffhanger and pretty much nothing is resolved. There is so much going on in the book that I am curious to see how everything will be resolved in the third (and final) book, Emerald Green.

Overall a great continuation of this series. Gwen is still struggling with her place in this secret time traveling society, but she is making headway and is determined to do her part. The scenes between Gwen and Gideon are very well done but a bit frustrating. I would have liked to see more time travel scenes. Still the way the mystery is slowly unraveling makes for an absolutely engaging story. Recommended to fans of time travel stories and YA stories in general.

[Sapphire Blue] picks right up where [Ruby Red] left off. Although a few more characters "pop up" in this book, it is quite easy to keep up with the characters. One new character is Xemerius, a gargoyle from the past that turns out to be quite the informant for Gwen while she's busy on her time

travels. We also meet Count Saint-Germain in the last few chapters of the book, and he is painted as a real manipulator. Gwen and Gideon's relationship is also an enigma, and the book ends with her being very confused and hurt about Gideon's intentions for their relationship. I eagerly await the next installment, however, I wish it was not a WHOLE YEAR before it shows up! I highly recommend this book for young adults--it's a quick read, and I like how the author weaves modern day activities and vernacular with the traditions of the past.

So Sapphire Blue picks up right as Ruby Red left off and Gwen is confused by Gideon's actions as any girl would be. Here she thought he was in love with cousin Charlotte and now he's kissing her in a church no less. And she's kissing him back! Until that damn Gargoyle starts talking to her. Now not
Show More
only can Gwen see ghosts but she can see Gargoyle ghosts, demons cursed to live in the bodies of gargoyles. But he does help her quite a bit, helping her spy on the secret society which though she is a time traveler and it involves her, she is not privy to the information. And more importantly she's interested in what goes on between Gideon and her horrible cousin, Charlotte.

I will say right now, there is no way you can't like Gwen. Just like you can't hate Charlotte. They are polar opposites. Gideon, well the jury is still out on him but the last few pages of the book leads me to believe I will eventually love him. This is a book full of mysteries, time travel with two rogue time travelers that have one of the time traveling machines. They go back and forth in time trying to thwart the attempts of Count St. Germain to do something wrong. But they have no one on their side to help them. Except the secret society believes Gwen somehow is convinced by them somewhere in time to help them. If they only knew what we know about them, they'd be even more wary.

Gideon starts to suspect something when he's injured in what should have been a simple trip to the past and the last face he saw was a smiling Gwen. It doesn't help that Gwen has been secretly meeting with her grandfather in the past trying to make sense of things that happen in the future coming back reeking of cigarette smoke. Every day, they must go back into the past at least four hours to keep from doing it spontaneously in the middle of somewhere in the wrong clothing in the middle of danger. So they have a safe room for them to elapse into. That's what Gwen has been doing but then she's been venturing to her grandfather's office to meet up with him. Until Gideon decides he'll start elapsing with her and that ends the conversations with grandpa.

Are you confused? It actually isn't hard to understand at all. It's the simplest time travel novel I've ever read, steeped in mystery, romance, history and betrayal. I can't tell you how happy I was to get this novel from my friendly UPS man that doesn't even ring the bell anymore since my dog is doorbell enough. It is translated so completely flawlessly that nothing is awkward or sounds unusual.

I am such a huge fan of this series. The books have such beautiful covers. They are reminiscent of the period dresses that Gwen gets to wear when she goes back to the past. I think I'd like to be in her shoes, except for the teen angst. Oh and I forgot to mention the comic relief, Xemerius. He time travels with her from the past by latching on and then helps her when her cousin tries to embarrass her, hangs upside down from chandeliers, constantly asks for a dog. He is a great break in the tense lessons she has to take when people call her "stupid child" while grilling her about 18th century politics and teaching her the dances of the period.

If you haven't read this series, I really suggest it to anyone. It' fairly chaste, just some kissing, and absolutely a lot of fun. Gwen is not a shrinking violet. She will not play the fool and she doesn't bow down to anyone just because she's female. I really love her and her mental retorts if only she'd say them out loud! Now to wait until next Fall for the next book. YIKES!

In Ruby Red Gwen learned she is a carrier of a time travel gene that allows her to travel back in time. She is the final member of a circle-of-twelve that has been prophesized. There is a secret society that controls their time traveling with a special device. In Sapphire Blue Gwen is trying to

figure out the mystery of the circle and why fellow time travelers, Lucy and Paul, have gone rogue. Meanwhile, Gwen continues to be a representative for the future going back in time to speak to members of the circle alongside the more experienced and very attractive Gideon. However, whenever she can sneak a moment she is inquiring about the prophecy.

This internationally best-selling series is from Germany and it is no wonder it has been translated for the US, it is fantastic! Taking place in London, both in the present and as far back as the 18th century, the storyline is utterly engrossing. Gwen is a fairly traditional, modern girl that has to suddenly become a chameleon of the past. As stories involving conspiracy and secrets can be, you have to follow the storyline closely and remember who is who because in a second they might be a deceiver. I loved the inclusion of Xemerius, the gargoyle demon that only Gwen has the ability to see. He added some light-hearted fun to the middle of this trilogy where the story has the ability to lull before the big conclusion. Gier has spun a web with this storyline and I can’t wait to see how the trilogy concludes in Emerald Green.

It was not as awesome as the first installment, Ruby Red, but it still kept me intrigued enough to eagerly anticipate Emerald Green.

Rating: 2.5 of 5

I'm thoroughly frustrated with girls like Gwyneth falling in love with boys like Gideon then whining about the relationship for hundreds of pages. And I'd like to know why exactly these insta-love relationships, ignited purely by physical attractiveness, and fueled by verbal abuse
Show More
became such an acceptable and popular element in young adult fiction? Seriously, it's insulting to anyone (female or male) with even an ounce of self-respect. Rant aside, I clearly can't relate to either character.

So the above featured heavily in Sapphire Blue which annoyed me to no end. Combine that with Gwyneth never sticking up for herself and I'm flabbergasted how anyone can enjoy this trilogy for anything other than pure curiosity as to how the mystery will play itself out. Because I couldn't care less what happens to Gwyneth or Gideon. Plus, Sapphire Blue is mostly filler, few if any answers.

The one and only reason I will read book three, Emerald Green, is in hopes of some actual answers to the mystery behind the count, the Guardians, closing the Circle, etc.

After enjoying the time-travel twist in Ruby Red, I was eager to pick up Sapphire Blue when I had the opportunity to review it through Amazon's Vine program.

Gwen's life hasn't been the same since she discovered that she was the final member of a secret Circle of Twelve known for time traveling. As
Show More
she's pulled into the Circle's strange world, Gwen has been trying to unravel the group's secrets while searching through history for her fellow time travelers. In the middle of everything, Gwen finds herself caught in deeper and darker mysteries -all while dealing the attractive Gideon.

For the most part, many of the flaws in Ruby Red were addressed. Yet, I still felt like the translation here was a little awkward. Though I understand that many of the characters were from historical periods, it still seemed like the more modern characters spoke in a highly formal and unnatural way with a strange pension for archaic words and uncomfortable sentence structure. While this is more obvious in the dialog, it's still an issue in the rest of the text and makes the entire story read very flat.

Aside from this, Sapphire Blue is still a readable book with some enjoyable action and a few good moments of time travel awesome. I wouldn't say that it's as good as Ruby Red, however. The story is decent, though not quite as compelling, and the romance was expected. I also think this book suffers a little from "middle book" syndrome. Not as much happens -there's not as much to introduce and not everything is resolved. Though Sapphire Blue does do a good job of building some interesting mysteries and offers some unique historical settings, it seems like its running in place for a good portion of the book.

If you enjoyed Ruby Red, Sapphire Blue is a decent sequel, but I know Emerald Green will be better.

Luckily the book didn't suffer from the second book syndrome and despite my misgivings with Rubinrot and the problematic translations editor and lacking in beta readers, I really like Gwendolyn. The storytelling is still a disjointed mess between a romance and a historical fantasy but I do enjoy
Show More
this book more than the previous one. Because of that, I just skip the problematic paragraphs with weird sentence structure that made my own occasional Malaysianized grammatical lapses more comprehensible than reading parts of this book.

The problem with this kind story was there wasn't much a chance for the characters to develop overtime because of the differences in timeline in between the modern and the time lapses which made the romance happen in span of several weeks. Plus, because of the genetic defect they had, they either they use chronograph to time travel at specific fixed time or flung uncontrollably into time. So with each time travel, curiously they were all very eventful to fit in one book. Then again, I was hoping for a Doctor Who reference at this point too.

Luckily for this novel, I was taken into the mystery of the twelve circle and the prophecies and the endless foreboding from the occasional psychic aunt and also the persistent "romance between Montrose and de Villiers always end badly" that always put out as a reminder which of course will be continued with the next book. But I did predicted something between Paul and Lucy and their exact relationship with Gwendolyn (Sorry, "Gwyneth" seemed to rhyme with an exaggerated sigh) and the novel does give out obvious clues around so I won't spoil myself until I get the next instalment.

Unlike the previous book, the writing aren't as badly juvenile as the previous book and there's more interesting parts and scenes unlike the quite linear Rubinrot which the movie changed some parts and embellish it even more. Plus, a drunken teenage girl singing Cats was as entertaining as it sounds. I like that there's some relationship stuff happening between Gwen and Gideon which was put into a cliffhanger at the end. I still think the Lodge folks, the gargoyle and Gideon's brother probably have some tricks in their sleeves. The predictable parts remain predictable but some of the time travellers secrets are intriguing enough to sustain the interest in the final book.

Time travel books are slowly becoming my newest addiction and this is without a doubt one of my favorites. I was dreading reaching the end and the subsequent wait for the next book. The author has created a world I am 100% immersed in and connected to. I need to know what happens next! This series
Show More
has so much left to discover. I'm dying to see how the author wraps it all up in book 3.

Protag Gwen is a character who is so easy to like and sympathize with. I also love her eclectic group of friends and the crazy situations she finds herself in. She adds a new friend to her repertoire in Sapphire Blue who adds an excellent element of comic relief. Gideon is as frustrating as ever in Sapphire Blue and my heart broke for Gwen numerous times while reading. The accusations that were being thrown around in Ruby Red continue for poor Gwen in this novel as well. I admire her ability to keep her cool because if I were in her shoes I would have surely lost it. The mysteries just continue to get deeper and deeper. I don't feel like much was resolved, but we are set up for the finale which I'm convinced is going to rock my socks off.

The pacing of Sapphire Blue is spot on. I flew through the pages as quickly as time/life would allow. I think I may have enjoyed this one even more than Ruby Red (which I LOVED). This is just such a fabulous series. I was worried going in with it being translated from German, but you can't even tell. The writing/translation is stellar. Oh how I wish I read German so I could track down the next book in this series and find out what happens! I just adore this series and can't wait for the next book!

I'm looking forward to seeing how it all plays out in the last book.

Though if you think about it, that will be kind of gross. So just forget I said anything okay?

- Gideon. I am in a love-hate relationship with Gideon. I mean, my goodness, he was just so confusing and he made me want to bang my head on the wall. He's such a sweet little thing then he became this cold and mean guy then back to being sweet. Argh. Make up your mind, why don't you?

- I loved Lesley, the gargoyle, Rossini, Robert and even James. And Raphael also though he didn't actually do something of great importance. I loved the whole time-traveling thing. Basically, I loved everything. I just get irritated at Gideon sometimes.

- I have so many questions at the end of the book. Why does Gwyneth seem to be so important to Paul. Is she his and Lucy's daughter? (I know, crazy guess) WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON INSIDE GIDEON's HEAD? Ugh. What is the FREAKING SECRET?!?!?! I'm crazy I know. Guess, I should be in a hurry to read Emerald Green to find them out.

-As you see, I'm pretty much invested in the story's characters. And that's a good thing because the kind of book that makes you really passionate in talking about them is an amazing one. I'm still young okay so I'm still allowed to be feeling childish at times. I can't wait to get my hands on the third book.! Evil author is evil.
