Emerald Green

Emerald Green (Precious Stone Trilogy, #3) - Kerstin Gier, Anthea Bell

Kirsten Gier ends her Precious Stone Trilogy with Emerald Green. I don't think I mentioned this in previous reviews, but this entire series is translated from German. I can't say I've read a ton of translations, but I never felt like the language was clunky or didn't work. Anthea Bell, who translated this series, did an impeccable job.

 

Overall, I liked the series, but it did always seem like one long story rather than three books. The stopping points seemed more arbitrary than anything. But I think the story is good and interesting. The twist at the end was well done and I did not see it coming, but it did feel a bit anticlimatic.

 

I also would have liked to see a bit more of an ending in regards to certain characters.

 

But I would definitely read more of Kirsten Gier's books. And Anthea Bell's translations.
