Ruby Red (The Ruby Red Trilogy, #1)

by Kerstin Gier

[Amber (The Literary Phoenix)]

I adored this book! Gwyneth is the funniest, silliest thing and I absolutely loved her banter with Lesley and the way she doesn't let anyone push her around. She's curious and smart and observant. All in all, I had a delightful time listening to her babble and sing "God Save the Queen."

The writing in this book is quick, witty, and delightful. Nothing seems to have been lost in translation from German to English. There was never a moment where I wanted to put it down and do something else, or fast forward it to "the good part". The flow of information is very good, and the reader learns about things at the same pace as Gwyneth, but there are so many secrets still in play and so many questions left unanswered at the end that you can't help but to run off and pick up the next book in the trilogy.

All in all, RUBY RED was a treat and I will be adding it to my library and reading SAPPHIRE BLUE.
