Ruby Red
by Kerstin Gier
This book had some plot flaws but all in all it was a really good book. I was surprised as it has mixed reviews on Goodreads I also have not found a time travel book I like. This book follows a 16 year old girl named Gwen, she seems like the average 16 year old girl. She hangs out with friends makes fun of teachers and helps her family. Gwen's family is unique they are time travelers. Well not her exactly but they are grooming his cousin for this role as it has been foretold. Except nothing every goes according to plan... I really enjoyed Gwen's character she has real backbone. While her predicament may not be ideal she does what needs to be done. Her witty comebacks and thinking on her toes made me adore her. I like it when she tells off Gideon, you go girl!! Don't take his crap.
There are some serious laugh out loud moments in this book. I really enjoyed the banter between the family. Gwen's friend is the best she takes everything as is and is always there for her no matter what. Gideon's character is a little more complex as Gwen is taught to trust no one. Can we trust Gideon it's only book one so I'm not sure. .. This book was translated to English, I had no idea while reading it that it was translated. Whoever translated it did an awesome job....
Overall this book has a great premise and the plot flaws may have been due to translation but I didn't care. I just really enjoyed this book through and through. I actually cared for the characters and the flow was fast paced. There wasn't much down time between things happening. I definitely recommend this book!
