So I was quite happy when I discovered the writing to be above par of the usual YA novels and much more addictive. This book kept me up all night reading, emersed in the world of Gweneth and Gideon, an unlikely team pulled together by fate and a mother's lies.<br /><br />Together, the pair travel through time to collect blood from the rest of the time-travellers to complete the Circle of Blood. However, not all time-travellers are happy to donate samples of blood, and there is more than time-travelling dangers at play, for someone wants to stop Gwen and Gideon from closing the circle.Espanahttp://findingselfbelief.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-29773292927718796522011-07-04T18:02:08.615-05:002011-07-04T18:02:08.615-05:00I think the unresolved-ness bothered me very littl...I think the unresolved-ness bothered me very little because it was so light and fun--I appreciated the characters, but am not all clenched up inside waiting for resolution!<br /><br />And thanks, viz the cover, RM1(SS)!Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11835101886202235868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-38454269554018037512011-07-04T14:16:04.839-05:002011-07-04T14:16:04.839-05:00I really enjoyed this one, as a good, light read, ...I really enjoyed this one, as a good, light read, a good time travel story. The only thing that really bugged me is that so much is left hanging and nothing resolved because it's a series. (I always feel cheated when series do that.) But of course I'm going to check out the next book when it comes out! I enjoyed it.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15942773546991195462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-70457233190326905172011-07-02T20:34:28.810-05:002011-07-02T20:34:28.810-05:00I actually had this book in my hands last week whe...I actually had this book in my hands last week when I was in the store but I put it back because I didn't want to pay $20+ for a YA book that I wasn't sure I'd like. Time travel stories are so hit and miss and I don't trust most blog tour blog posts. ;) However your review, plus the comparison to Paranormalcy has made me rethink my hesitation. I might end up with this book in my collection some time in the future.Cat @ Beyond Bookshttp://beyondbooks.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-57596963773341039572011-06-30T22:05:38.557-05:002011-06-30T22:05:38.557-05:00Psst - don't look now, but I think that's ...Psst - don't look now, but I think that's the Norwegian cover.<br /><br />And Amazon.de have two other books, Saphirblau (Sapphire Blue) and Smaragdgrün (Emerald Green).
