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.

Ich habe die Filme schon gesehen gehabt also wusste ich schon was passiert, aber ich liebte die Filme (und Gideon) also dachte ich mir wieso nicht auch die Bücher lesen und ich muss sagen es ist definitiv gut. Manchmal wenn Bücher für ab 12 sind können sie sehr schlecht geschrieben sein, aber zum Glück waren sie das nicht, man kann sich einfach in Gwen hineinversetzten und sie nachvollziehen, mir war ein bisschen zu wenig romance da aber die wird sicherlich im nächsten Buch auftauchen.

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.
