i have so many new series that i want to start, but i made myself swear an oath that i would finish old ones first. especially if i already own them. the struggle is real, my friends.

but luckily i didnt have to struggle too much with this one. this was just as exciting as the first book. however, this strongly fell under what i consider to be a filler book. not much really happens plot-wise. all the information that furthers the storyline easily fits into a single chapter, and it happens towards ...more

If you thought the first one was a wild ride full of twists and turns and EMOTIONS, just wait.

I've been wanting to read this book since I got it in July, but my TBR hasn't let me. Even so, I devoured this 400+ page book in less than three days.

Ten Thousand Skies Above You was a beautiful continuation of the Firebird series. Unlike a lot of middle books in YA series these days, there was no lack of plot, lack of action in this instalment; to be quite honest, I preferred this one to book 1. The main plot of this book is that Marguerite's boyfriend's, Paul, soul has been 'splintered' and is lost over four different dimensions in the multi-verse. In order to save Paul, and stop the toxic Night-thief from harming Theo any more, Marguerite must work with Conley to sabotage the research into the Firebird project in these dimensions. Now, that's not as easy as it sounds. Each of these dimensions has there own similarities with Marguerite's own, but with important differences. She may have thought that fate intervened in everyone, but she would be wrong.

Honestly, this book was a complete rollercoaster. The various settings were all beautiful, in there own way, and including Marguerite's home dimension, we visited 7 or 8 different ones. Just when you were getting to grips with the subtle differences between each of the multi-verses characters, something massive happened, and everything became a lot more angst-y. Even when visiting the Russia-verse from the previous book, somewhere that should have been quite nice, and easy to relax in, problems appeared left, right, and centre. I was on the edge of my seat until the very last page, and could've screamed with how it ended - be warned, it will kill you.

Paul and Marguerite will forever be my OTP of this series, but it was not easy sailing for them. Even with the complication of Paul's soul being scattered, there were further challenges that could cripple their relationship in the future. I really enjoyed meeting the various Paul's, just like I had in book 1, and seriously hope this ship keeps sailing throughout the final book. The relationship between Theo and Marguerite was also quite sweet, and I'm happy their friendship has survived after the events of A Thousand Pieces of You.

Ten Thousand Skies Above You was everything I wanted, and more, for this book. If you adored book 1 as much as I did, then this should be right up your street. There was no slump, at all, and the action gripped you from the get go. I am now kind of wishing I hadn't read this book early, as I'll have to wait longer for book 3, but don't regret it one bit. I'd definitely recommend this entire series to YA Sci-Fi lovers; if you haven't already, you should get a hold of these books, ASAP. ...more

EUGH. I was originally going to give this two stars because despite everything, the concept is still quite clever and interesting. But you know what? Fuck this book. The first book wasn't great but I still really enjoyed it. I was excited to start the second book but things just went downhill from there and here is why...

The short version is that this book turned into a clusterfuck of YA tropes and it was just so so annoying. The long version might be a bit of a rant so brace yourselves (obvious EUGH. I was originally going to give this two stars because despite everything, the concept is still quite clever and interesting. But you know what? Fuck this book. The first book wasn't great but I still really enjoyed it. I was excited to start the second book but things just went downhill from there and here is why...

The short version is that this book turned into a clusterfuck of YA tropes and it was just so so annoying. The long version might be a bit of a rant so brace yourselves (obviously spoilers ahead).

1. Love triangle Honestly, I don't always hate love triangles. There are times when they are really well executed and lead into some great character development. The kind of love triangle I do not enjoy (the kind where it consumes literally the entire plot) features in this book. There were some hints at a love triangle in the first book but it was bearable because there were other things going on. In this book, there is very little other stuff going on.

2. Separated characters This is another trope I really hate and notice all too frequently with trilogies; the second book in a series so often separates the characters who we knew as a unit in the first book. Paul and Marguerite, who in the first book were either together or in contact with each other, are all of a sudden separated. I didn't mind this at first but then the whole book became about how they would find each other again and all that. I'm not completely sure why this frustrated me as much as it did but still eugh.

3. The chosen one As in way too many other YA series' (i'm looking at you, Divergent series!), our protagonist is revealed to be the Chosen One. All the bad guys want her one their side because she is so valuable and blah blah. This whole book became about this one girl and how, despite there being infinite existing dimensions which are far more exciting than her own, she is just super special to the grand scheme of things. Like no. Stop.

4. The 'change of heart' I think this one only frustrated me so much in this book because IT WAS SO REPETITIVE AND THIS ONE POINT WAS FORCED ON ME TIME AND TIME AGAIN! The first book has some really beautiful passages about destiny and how people will encounter each other in more than one dimension. This leads our main character to believe that her and her boyfriend will eventually find each other in each dimension and live happily ever after. I guess this is a fair assumption to make given what she has seen of the other dimensions. But then she gets to a dimension where Paul doesn't know her and is a part of the Russian mafia. He is still sort of himself, but shoots Theo and shows he has the capacity for cruelty. This leads our main character to have this huge internal struggle about how he could be evil and maybe her Paul back in her home dimension has the same capacity for evil as Mobster Paul. Again, I understand this assumption. The problem I have is that she does not think it through. If there are infinite dimensions then there is one where Hitler won the war, or I was orphaned and became a villain or something. Like literally everything is possible so I don't understand how she can assume that encountering a Paul who has been shaped by his upbringing into a bit of a bad guy leads her to believe that the Paul she knows and loves is in any way the same! Eugh.

The only slightly redeeming part of this book was the last 5% which was pleasantly dramatic and ended on a good cliffhanger. Honestly, this review ended up being quite mean but I think it's because of how disappointed I am by this book. The Firebird series had potential but after reading this book and having it feel like such a chore, I don't plan on continuing the series whenever the next book comes out. Happy New Year everyone, my 2016 reading is off to a great start! ...more

“Ten thousand skies, and a million worlds,and it still wouldn’t be enough for me to share with you. Nothing less than forever will do.”

Ten Thousand Skies Above You is the sequel in the Firebird trilogy and is as equally, if not more, adventurous and exciting than the first as Marguerite travels through alternate universes to save the man she loves!

Essentially, Ten Thousand Skies Above You is consistent with the storyline of the first book, but now they are just travelling through alternate universes to find a cure for Theo as he is suffering severely from the Nightthief drug and to also regain Paul's consciousness, which has been torn apart by Triad in order to blackmail Marguerite into working for them. But, I think the world's that are included in this book are much more interesting and it's good to see that Marguerite is now facing the conflicting emotions of living the lives of her other selves and trying to draw the line between their 'shared lives'.

The start of the book was a little difficult to get into as the chapters alternate between past and present in order to catch readers up to where the main plot of the book will begin. So, for a few chapters we are finding out the development of the situation with the Firebird project and Triad as well as where the characters are now. As I've mentioned before, sequels typically fall short after the first installment and I thought this was going to be the case with TTSAY. However, after the chapters stopped alternating, I was able to get my 'grip' on the story, and my interest piqued as we jumped into a new world.

The alternate universe concept is very exciting as it provides multiple opportunities to bring in altered versions of characters, who are generally quite similar, so you don't have to go through much to learn their backstory. Not only this, but it is also very interesting that there are multiple worlds to be explored. In this book, Marguerite visits five universes and I believe that this is the main reason as to why my interest is maintained in this series. In this book, we jump from worlds I would describe as ancient Rome, World War II, New York City, 19th century Paris and then to a futuristic and media dominating world. I really like that the world's are built around time periods, history and potential futures as it provides the story with a bit more authenticity rather than making up far fetched worlds.

I think Theo is a far more enjoyable companion as his humour and overall character is more interesting than Paul. It was sad to see the love triangle further pushed in this book as I thought she was going to go with Theo at one point (and hoping because I like him better), but of course, she picks Paul in the end and races to get him back and tell him that he is the Paul she loves. It was great to see that Marguerite had to come to terms with the repercussions of travelling into another Marguerite's body and this was further highlighted when she visited Grand Duchess Margarita again. I think that her discovering just how much their lives can be affected will become quite significant in the next book after that ending/plot twist!

There's not much else to say as it was very consistent with the first and more than likely, I believe the final installment will be very much the same - travelling through a few universes, probably stopping Triad and perhaps destroying the Firebird project?

Overall, I give this book a 4/5 rating and I am very interested to see how the story will conclude when A Million Worlds With You is released in November 2016. ...more

That ending! I think there might have been a hint of an even bigger bombshell within the storyline, wonder if anyone else picked up on it.

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Ten Thousand Skies Above You picks up shortly where it's predecessor left off, with Marguerite now back in her own dimension and Theo suffering from the effects of Nightthief, a drug supplied by Wyatt to keep Theo's other self from being discovered in Marguerite's dimension. Paul is visiting the Multiverse, a magnitude of dimensions in which each of themselves already exist, leaping into their bodies in order to find a cure. But when Paul doesn't return and the Triad president himself is pressuring Marguerite to join his organisation, she soon realises that Wyatt Conley is once again holding her family to hostage.

Even though Paul seems to be the only love interest within the storyline, Theo has never been shy when it comes to flirting with Marguerite and when the two discover a dimension where Paul and Marguerite aren't together gives Theo further incentive. Even with Paul never far from her thoughts, I enjoyed that the romance wasn't the main focus of the storyline but rather the adventure of multiverse travel. Flashbacks of Marguerite's relationship with Paul while she searches for fragments of his soul, allows readers to see the bond that formed between the two after the final page of A Thousand Pieces of You. The biggest difference that sets the Firebird series apart from other time travel young adult is it's ability to simplify. There's no long and complicated explanations to confuse readers, but information scattered throughout and making it easier for readers to immerse themselves within the storyline.

It follows a similar storyline as it's predecessor, where most of Marguerite's time is spent with Theo. I loved the dynamic between the two. Even though Theo obviously cares for Marguerite far more than he's willing to admit, it's clear that neither will betray Paul with both characters making it clear that they value their friendship far more and thankfully didn't fall victim to the dreaded love triangle. Incredibly written and although it took me a few chapters to jump back into Marguerite's world, I couldn't seem to put it down.

Wonderfully written, Ten Thousand Skies Above You is a brilliant and adventurous installment in the Firebird series. Shifting the focus from a mild science fiction romance, Claudia Gray has crafted an intense and deeply engaging series that is sure to end in an epic finale to enthrall readers. Absolutely loved it. ...more

On a side note, the cover for this book is just as beautiful as the first one but it wasn’t a driving factor for me this time.

The story picks up with an intriguing first chapter which shows the reader where this novel is going to go to and then jumps right back to where we left off. I did love the scene where they meet with the other scientist at the University and try and tell them in a succinct way what has happened and just end up with a really jumbled story, forgetting that everyone still thinks that Professor Caine is dead! It made me laugh and feels like what would happen if this situation where ever to arise, because let’s face it where would you start with that one!

The love triangle between Marguerite, Paul and Theo is still in this book and I am still not annoyed with it being a love triangle. In my review of the first book in the series I said that I always end up shipping the couple that don’t get together and not liking to pairing that does happen, this book is the exception to that rule. I love all elements of this love triangle and am (not so secretly) hoping for a polyamorous relationship in the end, maybe this could be one of the few books to pull it off! Especially as this story does not have the two love interests hating each other. I am also enjoying the fact that there is a recognition that Marguerite really fell in love with Lieutenant Markov and that sparked her falling in love with her Paul. It is creating a really good dynamics and I like the author isn’t forgetting that little fact.

I really enjoyed the way that Gray explores the relationships between the individual and who they are in all of the universes and the conflicts that can cause. What if there is one universe that they showed less than desirable trait does that mean that all versions of them have the potential to have that trait or can it be a one off based on the circumstances of that verse?

Another thing that can sometimes be annoying in YA books, particularly those that have a fantasy element, is that the lead character can sometimes come across as a person with no flaws, someone who can make the hard decisions while others can’t. Whilst Firebird #2 does fall into the one lead character who has something special that allows her to be sought after by the big bad, it doesn’t make her flawless. She does make mistakes and that is refreshing, whether that is through her actions or the things that she says. Also her opinions do change and it we see the conflict that gets her to that point.

As ever the different verses were amazing, I am starting to become a big fan of multi-verse stories. There is something so nice about the change of scenery and getting to play out all the characters in completely different situations!

And Finally, THAT ENDING!!! OMG I AM ORDERING THE NEXT BOOK RIGHT THIS SECOND!!

Quotes from Ten Thousand Skie...

“Ten thousand skies, and a million worlds, and it still wouldn’t be enough for me to share with you. Nothing less than forever will do.” — 84 likes
