“Sapphire Blue” is the second book in the Precious Stone Trilogy written by Kerstin Gier. The series follows Gwendolyn a girl with a special gene that allows her to travel back in time.

Gwendolyn cannot believe she is with Gideon, not Charlotte, she is the chosen one. However, relationships between time travelers do not work as well as she might like. There are secrets she still does not understand, not forgetting about the count Saint Germain. What seems clear is that she has an important part to play in the prophecy and she is determined to find what it is. For doing so she knows who, for sure, she can trust, her best friend Leslie, the young version of her grandfather Lucas, as well as her new daimon friend, Xemerius.

This second book was a little less interesting than the first one. It definitely suffers the second-book in a series syndrome. “Sapphire Blue” is less about the mystery and more about the romance. While in the first book we saw how Gwendolyn and Gideon got to know each other in this one we really see how their relationship grow and also how people can get in the middle of it. The mystery continues in this book but in my opinion the author kept it in a second place. On the other hand, this also allowed the author to develop more the time-travel experience, taking time in explaining sceneries from other times as well as customs and manners, one of my favorite parts is actually the part of the soiree, because the author really does a good job picturing the ambient of that time.

There is one more thing I did not like much about this book was actually Xemerius; it was, in my opinion, a childish addition, I found it unnecessary.

In my opinion, “Sapphire Blue” was weaker than the first book in the Ruby Red trilogy. However, I will recommend following up the series as it is still a really original and entertaining series.

October Wrap Up - November TBR

Hello again everyone, Today starts a new month and that means that it is time to wrap up the previous month and set this month's TBR. Last month I set an ambitious TBR which I was unable to complete entirely, but I did manage to get a lot read which makes me kind of happy. As I also said on the previous month's post I was going to center this past month's TBR on the "Sweep/ Wicca" series by Cate Tiernan, and that is what I did. I managed to finish the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, and get thought half of the eleventh. I have enjoyed most of this books, however the last two, Seeker and Origins, change the point of view and I have not been able to click with them as I was able to so with the other ones. As for the November TBR, I want to still finish this series, reading the twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth and sixteenth books in the series, Eclipse, Reckoning, Full Circle and Night Child. Appart from that, I want to keep finishing s...
