(Leider) hatte ich das Buch nicht da und hab mir deswegen kurzerhand das Audiobook gelesen von Maria Ehrich und Josefine Preuß angehört, meine Meinung hier könnte also ein wenig davon beeinflusst sein.
First of all, Maria Ehrich und Josefine Preuß lesen das Buch absolut fantastisch. Would definitely recommend.
Secondly, nach 8 Jahren gefällt mir das Buch definitely immer noch gut. Ich konnte kaum aufhören das Hörbuch zu hören und hatte es nach anderthalb Tagen durch (die ungekürzte Fassung dauert btw über 8h), was sicherlich auch an den Leserinnen lag. Aber auch daran dass Gwendolyn mir als Protagonistin immer noch sympathisch ist (meistens) und das Buch und die Story einfach auch Spaß machen.
Einziger größerer "Kritikpunkt" ist wohl, dass die Handlung innerhalb von 3 Tagen statt findet
Das aber mal dahingestellt, natürlich ist das Buch nicht fehlerfrei und an vielen Stellen darf man auch einfach nicht zu sehr über die Zeitreiseregeln nachdenken, aber I guess das ist bei allen Büchern mit Zeitreisen immer ein bisschen so.
Also, gefällt mir das Buch immer noch genau so gut wie mit 12?
Naja, würde ich so nicht sagen.
Aber es ist trotzdem immer noch ein witziges, romantisches Zeitreisebuch und für das was es ist, ist es auf jeden Fall auch immer noch sehr gut. Gerade für zwischendurch oder während einer Prüfungsphase, wie ich sie grade habe eignet es sich sehr gut um einfach mal abzuschalten und ein wenig der traurigen Realität zu entschwinden(wobei bei mir auch viel Nostalgie wohl da mitspielt). Vor allem als Hörbuch ist es dafür absolut fantastisch gewesen.
*das ist wohl die längste Review geworden, die ich jemals geschrieben habe, aber das passiert nunmal, wenn man lieber prokrastiniert als für seine Klausuren zu lernen*

Gwen has to accompany fellow time-traveler Gideon, who seems to be a handsome, stuck-up prick. With him, she meets the mysterious and dangerous 'Count', fights some would-be assassins, and meets her estranged cousin back in time. All in all, a very good book.
My only issues with the book is that this first book seems to be mostly world-building and setting up for the rest of the series. We only really get to the action and time-travel around half-way through the book, and most of the rest is setting up for future adventures. Gwen learns the basics of time-travel, the family drama, and some of what it means to be the 'Ruby'. The prologue is a bit confusing, but I managed to figure most of it out by the end of the book.
