Ahhh. Sometimes you just need a book that's entertaining. This was it. A great ending to the series! It comes out in English in the fall, but since I read German, I was able to read the original. (I'll be buying it in English, too, as my girls love the series and don't speak German.)

Things I love about these books:

The main character. Seriously. I've read a lot of books where the main character is sort of a blank slate. Gwenny (Gwendolyn/Gwyneth, depending on which language you're reading it in) has an actual personality. She's funny! And lets you know everything else she's feeling, too. It was very fun to hang out in her head.

Leslie, her best friend. One of my favorite best friends in a book. She's funny, she's supportive, and she does stuff. She's also not above telling Gwen when she's over dramatizing things.

All the ghosts. I love how Gwen is friends with them, the interaction between them, and well, Xemerius's running commentary, lol.

The fact that Gwen has an actual family that she interacts with. Of course I love to hate Aunt Glenda and Charlotte and feel put off by frosty Lady Arista. But the rest of them! I love the feeling of them all hanging out together, secretly having cake parties or whatever. I love her grandfather. I love the butler. A lot of YA books feature characters who are really alone (probably because it's hard to keep track of a lot of characters when you're writing). But the truth is, teens are surrounded by people, and usually do have families. Ditto, I love it that there are some nice people at the secret lodge, too (like Mr. George).

The way the author makes you love and hate a certain green-eyed De Villiers boy. Really, I didn't know how she was going to turn that one around! But she did.

This is the book where you get answers about all those strange mysteries from the first two books (what did Gwen have to do with Gideon getting hit over the head in a dark alley? Why did she see herself kissing Gideon in her school building? What is the real story about Paul, Lucy, the chronograph, and all the mysterious prophecies?) There's one element that the reader should have figured out by now that Gwen learns in this book, and it plays out nicely. But there are also some surprises in store...

A wonderfully fun read full of humor, romance, mystery, and time travel.

This trilogy -- Ruby Red, Sapphire Blue, and Emerald Green -- is the best thing I've read since Twilight and Harry Potter. I slogged through the German because I speak it and couldn't wait another year for the English translation. It is charming and funny and the time travel makes history come alive.
