Red: Trilogia delle gemme 1 | Kerstin Gier
Per lamica Leslie, Gwendolyn una ragazza fortunata: quanti possono dire di abitare in un palazzo antico nel cuore di Londra, pieno di saloni, quadri e passaggi segreti? E quanti, fra gli studenti della Saint Lennox High School, possono vantare una famiglia altrettanto speciale, che da una generazione allaltra si tramanda poteri misteriosi? Eppure Gwen non ne affatto convinta. Da quando, a causa della morte del padre, si trasferita con la mamma e i fratelli in quella casa, la sua vita le sembra sensibilmente peggiorata. La nonna, Lady Arisa, comanda tutti a bacchetta con piglio da nobildonna e con laiuto dellinquietante maggiordomo Mr Bernhard, e zia Glenda considera lei, Gwen, una ragazzina superficiale e certamente non allaltezza del nome dei Montrose. E poi c Charlotte, sua cugina: rossa di capelli, aggraziata, bravissima a scuola e con un sorriso da Monna Lisa. lei la prescelta, colei che dalla nascita stata addestrata per il grande giorno in cui compir il primo salto nel passato. Charlotte si d un sacco di arie, ma Gwen proprio non la invidia: sa bene che si tratta di una missione pericolosissima non solo per la sua famiglia ma per lumanit intera, e da cui potrebbe non esserci ritorno. E non importa se Charlotte non viagger sola ma sar accompagnata da un altro prescelto, Gideon de Villiers, occhi verdi e sorriso sprezzante... Gwen non vorrebbe davvero trovarsi al suo posto. Per nulla al mondo...

A very YA time travel novel. It was an enjoyable, quick read. I may read the rest in the series someday. 3.5 🌟

I really liked this. Although I didn‘t initially like Gwyneth‘s time travel partner, Gideon, he grew on me. It did bother me some, though, that no one seemed to think they needed to now train Gwyneth on those things Charlotte had been learning. I realize that it would not be nearly as much training, since the time travel is now already happening with Gwyneth, but it sure would have been some help, I would think!. Cont in comments...

LibraryCin The book also didn‘t quite end. I believe it is a trilogy (it is definitely continued), so although I often leave a gap between books in a series, I‘d like to try to get to the next one before too much time passes 1y

I received Ruby Red from a fellow Litten whose daughter loved it and is also a huge Sherlock Holmes 🕵️‍♂️ fan. It was a great fit for me. It was my favorite read of the challenge until I finished the audio of book 2, Sapphire Blue. Now I can‘t choose.

Picture shows only half of my books on this shelf, the other side houses most of my hardbacks and notebooks.

Hi everyone! How's everyone weekend going? I wasn't feeling great today. I've been getting major headaches from allergies. I stayed in bed and listened to the whole audio Book of Ruby Red. I loved this book. This story about Gwen she learns she can time travel. I'm very excited to read the next book. #litsy #kindle #kindlefire #paperwhite

Alright...I didn't hate this as much as I thought I would lol I actually like the way they used time travel and I didn't HATE the characters! The romance felt pretty forced and just thrown in but my interest is definitely peaked enough to read book 2

I kinda hate this cover BUT there's time travel so...I gotta give it a shot

Zelma Theses are supposed to be a lot of fun, so ignore the cover. It falls in the unfortunate marketing strategy of pretty girl in a fancy dress. 6y

Ruby Red trilogy, book one.

Charlotte has spent her life studying and practicing to travel through time, but her cousin Gwyneth, sheltered and totally unprepared, is the one who finds herself popping back and forth in time.

Translated from the original German.

I'm giving Ruby Red ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. The story has a fun juvenile feel to it, which is not horrible if that's what you are looking for. I think my daughter would enjoy it. I am enjoying the mystery of the whole story and will be reading the next book in the trilogy.

LibrarianRyan @TamarackTrail I think so. A girl gets her first kiss but that is about it. I have only read the first book. I don't remember anything standing out as too old. 7y
TamarackTrail @LibrarianRyan thanks a lot. The cover I found looked like it would be for an older age so I was hesitant. She's definitely a future Litsy user, so it's hard for me to keep up with her "already read" pile ? 7y
LibrarianRyan @TamarackTrail the paper back have the girls in dresses that does make it look older. If I remember the main character is about 15. I hope she likes them. I loved the first one and wasn't expecting to. 7y

I read this book (series) about two years ago and absolutely loved it!!! Ruby Red is such a funfilled easy read. Fantastic story, lovable characters, beautiful setting, sweet romance, a bit of mystery, and a lot of laughs. Oh and there's also movies!! It's in German and I've only seen the first one, but I enjoyed it!

Ich habe so eben "Rubinrot" von Kerstin Gier beendet?
Und was soll ich sagen? Ich bin absolut begeistert?
Ich finde die Protagonisten in diesem Buch total sympathisch.
Er - Gideon, ein kleiner "Kotzbrocken" und die liebe Qwendolyn, ein total nettes Mädchen, was mit der Situation noch gar nicht zurecht kommt.
Ich muss echt sagen, dass mir auch der Schreibstil sehr gefallen hat.
Jetzt bin ich gespannt, wie der 2. Teil sein wird, fange gleich an!❤

This book is a light read, but fun because of the time traveling element. The book had me wondering what would happen. Each of the characters was planned out nicely. I cannot wait to get my hands on the next two books to see how everything gets resolved and so I can know the secret to the secret.

Es ist schon eine Weile her, seit ich dieses Buch gelesen habe aber ich versuche es mal aus meiner heutigen Sicht zu bewerten.
Was ich an diesem Buch so toll fand, waren die Zeitsprünge. Ich mochte auch die Kodex Einträge die zwischen den Kapitel zu lesen waren.
Über den Schreibstil kann ich nur sagen, dass ich diese Bücher damals ziemlich schnell gelesen hatte und es somit einfach aber trotzdem Spannend geschrieben war.
[4/5]

luthiens.world 💚 [EN] It's already been a while since I read that book but I try to rate it from my current view. I really liked the idea of the time jumps and I really enjoyed reading the codex entries in between the chapters. About the writing style I can stay I read those books pretty fast back then. So the writing is rather simple but nonetheless interesting. 8y
