Episode: Gargoyle love (Sapphire Blue by Kerstin Gier )




Xemerius!!!!

The ghost…no, DEMON gargoyle made me enjoy this more than the first.  I always had something to say about everything and it was all very entertaining.  He made me laugh, A LOT. It would have been a totally different experience if Xemerius wasn’t there.  There were a lot of aspects that made me frustrated (not in a bad way) and he lightened it up. I went thru Sapphire blue like I was Gwen. 

 “It was so frustrating that there are a lot of things that weren’t clear to me. I didn’t know what the end game was. There’s something missing. Why did they had to work with that creepy count, why is he like the boss and why do they trust him? Are those written in the Annals accurate?  Lucy and Paul stole the chronograph, and stealing is bad. I get it. But I’m sure they had a reason.  Why isn’t any one interested in finding out?  They just assume they’re the bad guys! And Gideon!!! Why does he just accept all of these? I thought he was smart but he’s not thinking.  And why does he blame Gwen, he said it him self, she couldn’t have hit him in the head. He’s a time traveler! Didn’t he think that it could have been him hitting himself in the head? Does he have a thing for Charlotte??? Why does he keep kissing Gwen then!?! Is he just playing with her or using her for something??? is this an i-didn’t-wanna-fall-for-you-but-i-did-that’s-why-I’m-acting-like-a-jerk angle?”

Those were some of the stuff running thru my head that made me frustrated.  I seriously don’t mean it in a bad way.  Those questions made me more interested in the story, I got sucked in completely.  It also helped that time travelling was kept simple simple.  As much as the science behind the concept of time travel intrigues me, I don’t like them discussed much in stories or movies. It makes it confusing.   It might seem weird to other people but I really liked the Gideon-Gwen relationship. Gideon is a jerk most of the time that whenever he gets nice and kissy kissy I just fall for it.  I’m pretty sure he’s like that coz he’s falling for her and is trying to fight it and losing…or something like that. (In real life it won’t work coz those things don’t happens. Jerks are jerks period.)
This is my favorite among the 3 books.
