Now I am very skeptical of time traveling books. I hated The Time Travelers Wife, absolutely hated it. I would rather burn that book than read it again. However, Ruby Red was surprisingly good. It definitely has me rethinking about time traveling books altogether (and no I will not re-read the time travelers wife every again in my life).
This book is about Gwyneth Shepherd, who is a sixteen year old girl, and her adventures from traveling through time. Unfortunately, for Gwen she wasn't really prepared to go through this type of situation. On the other hand, her cousin Charlotte has been trained all her life for it. Unexpectedly, Gwen travels while in class and that's where her adventure starts off. Along the way she has to work with the insufferable Gideon.
Oh Gideon, I disliked his character so much in the beginning. He, of course, had a thing for Charlotte (who I hated so much) and just talked down to Gwyneth constantly. Like I get it. Not every partnership starts off amazing but you can't always choose your partner either. Towards the end of the book the relationship between Gideon and Gwyneth has changed drastically. They both realized that they need each other a lot more than they originally thought. So of course, Gideon becomes more bearable because he has a different attitude towards Gwen.
Other than Gideon, there is the lovely Charlotte. As previously mentioned in the paragraph above, I HATED her character sooooooooooooooooo much. She was so arrogant and took everything for granted, especially Gwen. I wish I could reach into the book and slap her. I also hated that everyone in the family treated Charlotte better because she was the "gene" carrier, which is really stupid. When the family realizes that Gwen is the actual traveler it's like a huge middle finger to them and I LOVED that. I hope there is more of that in the next book.
I wish the book ended differently because it seemed so short!! I need more!! I loved Gwen's character so much. Her friendship with Lesley was written perfectly. Also, I really liked how there wasn't a lot of romance in this book. I'm assuming in the next book that will probably be the case (I hope I wont be disappointed). I can't wait to read the next book in the trilogy Sapphire Blue!!
