If I had to choose my favorite character, it would probably be Lesley, Gwyneth's best friend. I was surprised to find myself laughing at numerous parts in all three books, but I'm glad there were a couple of characters who added a humorous element to this serious story. It's an interesting concept and difficult to keep consistent, but Kerstin Gier did a great job at making it fun and easy to follow.

I thought the storyline was creative and unique-time travel is always fun to read about. The designer did an awesome job of incorporating time travel (the clock) and the historical aspect of this book (the photograph, of whom I assume is Gwyneth, the main character) into a aesthetically-pleasing cover.Īlthough this trilogy is translated into English from German, there wasn't anything that confused me or caused me to stop reading.

Together, Gwyneth and Gideon journey through time to discover who, in the 18th century and in contemporary London, they can trust.Īfter seeing the cover of Ruby Red, I knew I had to read it and own it for myself. Gwyneth must now unearth the mystery of why her mother would lie about her birth date to ward off suspicion about her ability, brush up on her history, and work with Gideon-the time traveler from a similarly gifted family that passes the gene through its male line, and whose presence becomes, in time, less insufferable and more essential. But unexpectedly, it is Gwyneth, who in the middle of class takes a sudden spin to a different era!
