 Review: When I first read Ruby Red, I thought it was enjoyable, I thought that I would make peace with that book and continue to this sequel. Already bought this trilogy myself, I would still continue to the 3rd book as well. I wouldn't even want to think negative about these 2 more books, yet when I finished it, I was disappointed. I did not like this book, I did enjoy it because of the writing. So let's get on to the reasons. 
 I got to say that the writing was enjoyable. Like I said in Ruby Red that the translator did a really good job of translating the content and it was also a bonus that the readers enjoy the book. The writing was all about capturing readers' attention and showed the characters expression and such. And I sort of enjoyed reading that. 
 I don't know if you would still want to read this book if I say that the plot was poorly done. We were left off right where the first book ended. So, after all of that, the only thing that the author could make up was time-travelling. Gwen and Gideon travelled through time A LOT of times. I had grown to get bored of that, to be really honest. I couldn't seem to care of what they were doing throughout their time-travel experience, plus the romance. There were only scenes where Gwen acted stupid and immature when she was told not to. I seriously do not understand the purpose of this book. There was no improvement, only disappointment. 
 Funny thing about this book is the characters. The characters are the reason why I would say that I tremendously disliked this book, from beginning to end. The protagonist, Gwyneth or if you prefer Gwen, was a perfect example of an immature person. She was sixteen, I get it. She acted like she was 6 years old, she whined a lot, she was so annoying to me, she was incredulously childish for a 16 year old. I really don't mean childish in an acceptable way, to me, it's un acceptable. Of course, we could see that our Gwen fell in love with Gideon, but just when Gideon acted cold towards her, she started crying to her best friend. Truthfully, I produced a thousand question marks in my head whenever she cried because of Gideon. I thought Gideon was just a douche who wanted to kiss. That was all. Despite him being 19 years old, I thought he was a bit childish for an adult. 
 Overall: It would be better if I just dropped this world off at Ruby Red because I don't like anything about this book at all except that the writing was sort of enjoyable. Now, I have to finish Emerald Green because damn me I already bought the book.
