Update and Emerald Green Review

Hey guys, I'm finally back! It's been a month since I last posted. I've been reading but I've been reading multiple books. I just finished my first book of December. The book I'm talking about is "Emerald Green" by Kerstin Gier. This book took me two weeks to read, which is why I haven't posted a review in a while. I ended up not finishing this book so I'm not going to give it a regular full review like I usually do. I wrote a full review on goodreads but I'm going to post it here so you guys can read it if you don't wanna look at my goodreads page. So here it is.

 I'm sorry, I just couldn't finish this book. I just couldn't do it! I had about 60-70 pages left and I'm officially done with this trilogy. This series is just not for me. I completely lost interest in everything, including the plot and the characters. While I was reading this book, my main though was "I don't care". The reason why I gave this book 3 Lily Pads is because the first half and the beginning was pretty good. Just like with "Sapphire Blue" I got bored and lost interest in the second half of the book. However, I was able to finish Sapphire Blue which is why I gave that one 4 Lily Pads.
I really loved the first book but the trilogy definitely went downhill for me. I didn't love Sapphire Blue and this one was just so boring. This book just dragged for me and I didn't care what happened at all. I also started to not like the characters anymore. I used to like Gwen but this book made me not care for her anymore. I'm not really upset that she cried a lot over Gideon, she felt bland in this book and I thought she was sort of shallow at times. Just so you know, I never liked Gideon. I know in my review for the first book I said I liked him but I didn't. He wasn't a jerk in this book, he was actually quite nice but I still didn't care for him. Honestly, their relationship is the main problem I had with this trilogy. I just couldn't stand the insta-love! It bothered me since book one. They only knew each other for a week in the first book and by the end of the book they were kissing. It annoyed me more in the last two books because Gideon was so hot and cold to Gwen and she got so upset over him. It really annoyed me that she fell for him so easily and so fast. He kept hurting her and all she would do was cry and couldn't stop thinking about him. I just don't understand why she loves him. And Gideon apparently loved her the whole time. They've only known each other for two weeks and their in love! It just drove me so crazy. I was just annoyed at Gwen in this book. I honestly wasn't supporting them together at all, I didn't even ship them! Overall, I have very mixed feelings about this trilogy. It's too bad since I loved Ruby Red and the series went downhill. This book was just very boring. I'm glad I'm finally done with this trilogy. This book took me two weeks to read and I was never motivated to pick it up. Even though I don't care for the books, I actually love the movies. The movies are so much better in my opinion. I'm definitely going to watch the movie for Emerald Green soon and hopefully I'll like it better than the book. Anyway that's my long review. Thank you so much for reading and stay tuned for more.
