About the Book:
When Japanese high school student Yukari Namikoya finds herself suddenly and inexplicably on another planet, she must quickly come to terms with the fact that she may never see Tokyo again. With a sun that never sets, the desert world of Crimson Winter is on the brink of extinction and day-to-day survival can be difficult; especially for someone used to the modern-day conveniences of Earth.
Following the only clue she has to a way home – a cryptic message from a woman long dead – Yukari heads into the desert searching for the Temple of Sapphire. There, she finds the temple in ruins, but what waits there for her is her destiny as a Chosen of the gem god Sapphiros.
Stranded on this new world and hunted by the Vile Emperor and his vast forces simply for being what she is, Yukari has no choice but to learn how to fulfill the role she’s been cast into and become the long-awaited saviour of a dangerous planet she doesn’t yet understand.

My Review:
Ruins of Sapphire is a wonderful young adult science-fiction novel. Tokyo native Yukari Namikoya finds herself trapped in Ground Hog's Day scenario (only her repeat day is a Tuesday) with subtle differences. After a few days of Tuesday resetting, Yukari and her friends find themselves in another land, on another planet. As they try to figure out where they are, they discover the world is not like their beloved earth and modern amenities are lacking. On the run, Yukari must embrace who she is on a planet she knows nothing about.
I enjoyed this young adult, sci-fi novel by J. A. Dowsett. The story is well-written and I was engaged from the very beginning. The character development progresses well as Yukari's story is told. The world building allows the reader the visualize the story and feel the emotions of the characters. You can't help but get pulled in and root for Yukari. The Yukari's character is strong, cast into a role that makes her a savior. That's a lot for the shoulders of a teen.
Ruins of Sapphire is a fun adventure full of action. I look forward to reading book 2.
I was provided a copy of this book to read.
