Publisher's summary

Gwen's life has been a rollercoaster since she discovered she was the Ruby, the final member of the secret time-traveling Circle of Twelve. In between searching through history for the other time-travelers and asking for a bit of their blood (gross!), she's been trying to figure out what all the mysteries and prophecies surrounding the Circle really mean.

At least Gwen has plenty of help. Her best friend Lesley follows every lead diligently on the Internet. James the ghost teaches Gwen how to fit in at an eighteenth century party. And Xemerius, the gargoyle demon who has been following Gwen since he caught her kissing Gideon in a church, offers advice on everything. Oh, yes. And of course there is Gideon, the Diamond. One minute he's very warm indeed; the next he's freezing cold. Gwen's not sure what's going on there, but she's pretty much destined to find out.

Good clean fun

Really enjoyed listening to this with my 11 year old daughter. She could identify with the youthful characters, and it wasn't racy or inappropriate as some YA can be. Great narrator

Fun and entertaining

For those who like a little magic, time travel and great characters this is a very fun story. Enjoyed the whole series, but this book I keep listening to over and over. Nothing like a stone gargoyle turned demon to liven things up and get the best punch lines. Reader Marisa Calin has a delightful accent that has me looking for all of her works. Perfect easy summer listening.

Fun

Love the back and forth in time. Wish the heroine was a little sharper and could have a clue.

Pride and prejudice with a twist!

Great from start to finish. Had me at the edge of my seat! Magic, love, time travel, conspiracy.

Good book

What made the experience of listening to Sapphire Blue the most enjoyable?

I love how good this book was which helped me fly through it!

What other book might you compare Sapphire Blue to and why?

None! That's the best part! It was a good change from the rest of the popular books out now.

Which character – as performed by Marisa Calin – was your favorite?

Gwynnie! She was quirky and silly and not the typical "teenage heroine" in every thee book!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

ABSOLUTLY!

Any additional comments?

When it ended, I had to IMMEDIATLY start Emerald Green!!

For YA yet intriguing and complicated enough!

What a great time travel series! It is clearly for the YA reader but still intriguing and complicated enough to keep me going. I will certainly read the last one!

Gwynneth, in my opinion, is a realistic 16 year old, with her immaturity, naivety and interest in boys. I can relate to that. I remember that. Like yesterday, actually!

In contrast, Gideon is the complete opposite of a realistic 18 year old boy. However, I am pretty sure that is the point.

The story arc between book 1 and 2 was very smooth and brought the plot to exciting places! The characters time travel every day creating unique paradoxical conversations and situations. Gwyn meets the Count Saint Germain at a soiree and he tells her how happy he was about their conversation that took place yesterday. However, it was yesterday for him in the 18th century. It will be tomorrow for Gwyn in her own timeline. Awesome mind bending stuff!

3.5 stars

I enjoyed this and will finish the trilogy. however, there was moments in this that I found hard to follow. I found myself having to go back because I found myself confused. it's just because some parts didn't hold my attention as well as the first book had. I found some of the story line predictable, but still enjoyable. the characters grow well and I find myself cheering for our main character, which is why I will continue to the next book.
