Ruby Red by Kerstin Gier

3.0

I had so many problems with this book. I felt the emotions in this book were entirely unrealistic on the grand scale and while this is the first book in this series, the world building made this book drag on. I didn't like the main character. the book being in her perspective, it's hard not to place yourself in her shoes and some things she did were somewhat reckless.
This concept is pretty interesting, but after reading this, I am confused as to what the genre is. It touched on paranormal, fantasy, adventure, which are great genres, but this felt almost too scattered and too information-withholding (I assume for reasons of it being a series.)
Ill continue this to the next book, hoping for Gwen to mature a bit, information to be revealed, and honestly hopefully more realistic reactions to life changing events.
