Modrá jako safír
Author: Kerstin Gier
11,96 €
Gwendolyn now knows that time travel is real, but she is still learning the rules of her new world. Modrá jako safír combines historical adventure with feelings that cannot be set aside while carrying out assignments. Gideon’s mysterious behavior complicates both their relationship and the question of whom to trust. The second Drahokamy novel builds on the characters and situations of the previous book. Kerstin Gier uses humor, romantic anticipation, and the small demands of period etiquette to keep a larger danger connected to the heroine’s everyday experience.
Learning a minuet and understanding a threat to the world are very different tasks, yet for Gwendolyn they belong to the same experience. The past requires her to prepare for conventions she never needed at home. Teenage uncertainty meets a setting in which not knowing the rules can have greater consequences.
Other people’s advice helps, but it does not remove the need for independent judgment. Gideon’s behavior in particular forces Gwendolyn to distinguish between being in love, trusting someone, and information she cannot access. The romance is no separate detour: it changes how she makes decisions during the adventure itself.
The book develops an existing time-travel mystery. It suits readers continuing from Rudá jako rubín and does not offer the same introduction as the opening novel. Suspense rests on gradually discovering what different people intend.
