A review by jnikolova
Emerald Green, by Kerstin Gier

5.0

I can't believe it ended so soon. Maybe I shouldn't have read as quickly. I went through the series stupidly fast and now I sort of miss the story.
This book didn't feel like the end until it was nearly over. I sort of expected to go to the next book tomorrow. But Kerstin Gier, unlike Cassandra Clare and co, is not a desperate gold-digger and hasn't written ten billion books and way overused the story.

The humor in the series is a part that I particularly love and I haven't mentioned that so far. I have burst out laughing so many times in the last three days, I'm glad no one was around to have me committed.
She[Lady Arista] waited until Caroline had disappeared and then shook her head. "That man is a plague! I will say only this: orange begonias! I very much hope there is a special hell for people who like orange begonias!"

...and the way Lady Arista looked at Gideon you might have thought he was an orange begonia.


........I'm dying again.
Not to mention Gollum, among other things.

I didn't appreciate the lack of Gideon in the last chapter before the epilogue, though. I really hate it when books end without the fun characters.
