GREEN JASPER FREE

I will look for the third in the trilogy now.

I would probably read the 3rd and final installment if someone gave it to me for free, but I don't think I would pay money for it.more Ellie was great too, as always, if she were only ALLOWED TO DO THINGS. Kamil and the random boy who saved Will were my favorite parts of this book.

That way, he redeems himself for his past in a heroic death! And Ellie can be sad for his death and feel faithful to his memory in grief, without actually having to marry him! And then later she's still free to marry Will! Everyone's happy! Convenient. Then, instead of actually somehow resolving the twisted up interpersonal situation we've gotten ourselves into, the author kills Gavin. like how did he think this was going to end? Oh, that's right. He dropped Hosanna right into De Scabious's lap. His self-righteous crazy charge that leads straight into De Scabious's dungeon is pretty sad. You can't respect him based on this book well enough to think he deserves Ellie, even if you try. This seems more like the dude who offset the terror of foreign war by gambling/irresponsibility/carousing rather than the supposedly better and wiser dude who came back from Crusade. Gavin is in a hard spot, admittedly, but he spends the lion's share of the book as a victim, moping and inactive. It sets up this lowkey tension between Gavin and Will because they both love Ellie, sets up Gavin as the betrothed and Will as the clearly superior suitor, and then takes the coward's way out of resolving the problem. The foundling twin girls Marie and Marissa? I'm still confused about who they are and why they needed to take up room in this story?Īlso, this book so quickly undoes ALL the work Blood Red Horse put into rehabilitating Gavin from a childhood bully into a fine man. Usurpation has barely begun - and we never get to really see any of it because we're IMPRISONED what feels like THE ENTIRE TIME - before it's over and John is like 'haha jk.' That's it? Really? This book deals with everything from the time Prince John makes a bid for the throne, to the end of his would-be coup, and it all seems to go by in a crowded rush. It seemed like there was a LOT all crammed in, and none of it had enough room to be fully developed. To my profound disappointment, it wasn't nearly as good as the first one.

I've cried numerous times, rooting for this horse.more I can't wait to read the last book in this trilogy. I love the characters- so strong, loyal, and honest.

I love the historical context, 12th century-Crusades-King Richard. He's a wicked man and I absolutely detested him. I cried when Descabius rode Hosannah almost to death. I spent quite a few tracks sitting in my car, unable to go into work until I found out if Ellie escaped from Descabius (spelling) or if Hosannah would again be saved. I've cried This book had the same intensity as the first. This book had the same intensity as the first. What will two brothers risk for the woman they both love and the king they have both sworn to protect and serve? In the second book of the de Granville trilogy, Will and Gavin find their family – and all of England – in serious peril.more And some men would do anything for power. And home is almost as dangerous as the war they've just left. Will and Gavin de Granville have come back from the crusade older, braver, and definitely wiser.Įllie has been longing for their return. A Is it foolish to think that one boy and a blood red horse can save a fair maiden and the throne of England?
