I grabbed this from my library to complete a reading bingo prompt for “gem stone” in the title but I got invested in this story more than I thought that I would! Time travel, magical abilities, mysterious motivations, and more abound! Being a YA novel I wasn’t surprised when the FMC annoyed me at points. I don’t see the chemistry yet between the main characters either. Parts of the plot are very predictable, that is another YA thing that I kind of expect sometimes. But the general storyline and lore has me intrigued and I think I’ll be finishing this series.

The book was read very nicely and I also liked the style of writing and storytelling. It was pretty fast.  At times it slowed down a bit, but otherwise it was consistent.

I don’t think I can write an unbiased review… This book will always be one of my favorites, simply because of the nostalgia associated with it.
