A revelation had been made about Gideon’s and Gwen’s relationship, which kind of explained the instant romance, so I’m looking forward to how their story unfolds in the third and final book. Similar to its predecessor, this book ended at a point where you were desperate to know more. Did Gwen even wear a blue dress? I was expecting a little nod to the first book, where Gwen spots her older self kissing someone at a Rococo ball, but that didn’t happen. Gwen and Gideon were the carbohydrates of the book, whereas Lucy and her partner Paul were more….the dairy. Lucy, the lost, rogue time traveller, is the sapphire, but she wasn’t a main staple of the plot. I don’t think I understood why this book was called ‘Sapphire Blue’. Ravens themselves are birds that bridge the gap between life and death (duh, I should have guessed because of Vampire Academy!) so that explains why she has these supernatural powers! Everything became relevant, at least, which now improves my thoughts on ‘Ruby Red’. She is also linked to the raven, as all time travellers are linked to an animal. As I said in my previous review, Gwen could see and talk to ghosts. I really loved how little things from ‘Ruby Red’ were explained. Lesley, possibly my favourite character, didn’t have as big a role to play, which was upsetting, but the addition of Gwen’s gargoyle demon ghost thing made up for the loss of Lesley’s humour. Some of the things Gwen moped about seemed a little melodramatic for the situation, but you could tell that she’d definitely gotten more confident with her role as a time traveller. The story line remained quite down to earth, in the case of Gwen getting jealous of Gideon being with Charlotte, which made me realise this isn’t just a book about time travel it’s also about teenagers. It all seemed a bit sudden, seeing as Gideon thought that Gwen was annoying and immature to start with. Gwen and Gideon were suddenly the loves of each other’s lives. I didn’t enjoy this book as much as the first, however, and here’s why: the romance. Genre: Fantasy, Time Travel, Historical, Contemporaryīecause I was so involved with ‘Ruby Red’, I just had to read the next book, ‘Sapphire Blue’, straight away! This, again, took me about a day to read for similar reasons as the first book – just so much happens!
