Genre: YA Science Fiction
Firebird Series, Book 2
| Note: This is the second book in an amazing parallel-universe series. Reading anything below might spoil plots from the first book.
Description (taken from Claudia Gray's website):
Ever since she used the Firebird, her parents’ invention, to cross through to alternate dimensions, Marguerite has caught the attention of enemies who will do anything to force her into helping them dominate the multiverse—even hurt the people she loves. She resists until her boyfriend, Paul, is attacked, and his consciousness is scattered across multiple dimensions.
The hunt for each splinter of Paul’s soul sends Marguerite racing through a war-torn San Francisco, the criminal underworld of New York City, and a glittering Paris where another Marguerite hides a shocking secret. Each dimension brings Marguerite one step closer to rescuing Paul. But with every trial she faces, she begins to question the one constant she’s found between the worlds: their love for each other.
Ever since Marguerite has been using the Firebird technology her parents created, she's believed in souls and soulmates. Every world involves a love shared between her and her boyfriend, Paul. But when the original universe tries to recruit her, they use Paul against her. And as she does their bidding in order to save him, she begins to question whether one soul across multiple universes is really the same person. Can love travel past multiple universes? Or do your surroundings and choices help shape who you love?
Marguerite is a perfect traveler in her world. What that means is she has the ability to control other Marguerites from other worlds without the use of an addictive drug. In essence, she is the perfect Firebird soldier. And that's why the Triad from the original universe wants her working for them. But what is their end goal? What do they want? And will Marguerite try to stop them when the time comes? Or are her world's parents, Paul, and Theo more important?
I have decided I love this series. This is probably one of my favorite parallel-world series. It's got the romance, the action, and the moral dilemmas. And you kind of have your favorite picks of the universes. I was hooked from beginning to end. And now I want the third book as soon as it comes out. I have to keep my opinions short and concise, or else I'll start releasing plot spoilers (just imagine me bouncing around in the background yelling at you to read the book now).
This is an addictive series to get into. And if you're looking for a multiple-world romance that isn't too gooey, then you might want to give this series a try.
