Emerald Green

By: Kerstin Gier, Anthea Bell - translator

Narrated by: Marisa Calin

In Kerstin Gier's 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 to The Ruby Red Trilogy 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.

An adult story wrapped in a child facade

This book is good. Let me say that first before I start.
The story is the both in-depth and captivating. With all the time travel and overlapping story lines it really messes with you and causes you to think about what's happeing next and when thell intersect again.
BUT!
This book is clearly written for teenage girls. There are tons of pop culture referances and the way she talks about relationships is very tweeny.
If you can handle the way the story is told I do advise readying it. It will keep you intrigued to the last word.

good listen

Good conclusion to an entertaining trilogy. All three books were fun to listen to and the narration was very well done!

Best Book in Series!

This book kept me awake and listening through several nights. In my opinion, it is the best book in the series. A wonderful, nail-biting conclusion ties everything up nicely! Trust me, it’s worth the credit or money!

Fun and enjoyable

PG - some acts of violence

While I can enjoy/tolerate some relatinship emotions in young adult novels, when it came to the emotional relationship between the two protagonists, it often was tragically over the top. Other than that, it was a fun time travel trilogy with enjoyable characters.

I Hope They Make Movies

This series is so engaging it belongs on the big screen. I'd pay to see it.
