"Sapphire" by Kerstin Gier

Sapphire, Kerstin Gier, ed. Montena, 2011
Safir Blau, Kerstin Gier, ed. Lluna Rona / La Galera, 2011

me be clear, and seeing the views that circulate through other blogs a bit controversial: how interesting and worth of Sapphire are the last one hundred pages. The rest is bullshit. And I do not mean that the principle of the highly anticipated sequel to Ruby is bad literature. No. The problem is that it seems filled to stretch the story, as if Kerstin Gier had a plan for the trilogy and to begin this second part you are missing material and fills it with kisses between Gwen and Gideon, jealousy, mistrust, a mystery like something out of an adventure of the five-utilized time travel, sighs Gideons every two to three repetitions of scenes (classes, etc.) delaying what the reader wants, the dance and the story of Paul and Lucy. Sapphire

begins just where it ends Ruby. In a confessional. Gwen gets temporary control of her powers, knows this secret society better, dig deeper in their difficult relationship and add Gideon mysteries and secrets of a complicated family history. In the future (or is the past?) a crucial prom where he will attend the disturbing Conde de Saint Germain.

Let's see, that I liked. I still think that this saga is one of the most pleasant surprises that have been published recently. She is charming, friendly, fun and fresh. But little ambitious. I think with little, and wasted the potential of time travel and the charisma of the characters. Because while the first hundred pages I find bland and pointless (he spent a week low to close the book and acknowledge that I remember very little from its beginning. And this is strange because I can assure you that I have a privileged memory to recall arguments and characters). Contributes little to the story (beyond a letter or a kiss) because everything is explained and the reader will notice it. And I do not know the full potential of a character like the gargoyle. With a little ingenuity what could have been achieved! But suddenly, Gwen and Gideon change clothes, go to a dance and PAM. The end of the book is splendid.

dance is from where Sapphire finds its purpose and its significance as a novel. There is a romance novel. It's a comedy. It is a game of two eras. Memory is singing in mid-eighteenth century. It is in the last pages where the novel takes flight and goes on: the relationship between characters, secrets, distrust and play time with the paradoxes, that are always She thanks.

But her prince

bored me. Chicha missing. Extends situations, repeated gags and falls into the stereotypes of female suffering and yearning for a little case of the alpha male. And does not resolve and not specific. I do not know ... I think what the Sapphire couple hampers me is that he has a problem of lack of structure. And missed. With a material are as infinite as time travel, I think you miss great opportunities to weave a complex story and fun. The same happens with the characters. The first hundred pages are anonymous and boring. Latest hundred, however, Gwen breaks and reminds us why we fell so good. By being normal. Not being a romantic heroine, if not for being a normal person in a great atmosphere. As metepatas and awkward. So we like.

But this does not mean that both Ruby and Sapphire , with all its limitations, is one of the most refreshing and entertaining sagas today unprejudiced reader can be found in bookstores. To spend a delightful and entertaining time.

And by the way, ask for Montena. Is it so difficult or so expensive, was to maintain the great original cover as it has done in his edition of La Galera in Catalan? Why Why this masquerade?
