Ten Thousand Skies Above You by Claudia Gray is the second
book in the Firebird trilogy following Marguerite Caine as she travels through
different universes to save her friends, family, and her own universe. That’s
really all I can say as a synopsis since this is a second book in the series.
But I devoured this book as well. It’s such a fast-paced read and left me
wanting more. I am so disappointed that I don’t have money right now to buy the
third book in the series, but I’m even more disappointed that my library
doesn’t have ANY books from the Firebird trilogy.
*SPOILERS*
Marguerite is such a bada$$ character. I don’t know if I
would be able to do everything that she did to get Paul back and help Theo. I
probably would’ve given up. But she is such a strong person and nothing can get
in her way. Not even Paul’s that hate her in other universes!
I love thinking about the concept of other universes, so I
absolutely loved the stories of Marguerite in other dimensions. But I feel like
I would feel like I’m violating my other me’s by going into my body in another
dimension. So, when I found out that Marguerite got the Russiaverse’s
Marguerite pregnant, I felt so bad for that Marguerite! She didn’t even get to
enjoy that Paul and now she has her baby to raise by herself. I probably
wouldn’t have been as sad had that Paul been alive.
I couldn’t believe it when we found out that the Marguerites
in other universes were actually able to recall everything that happens to
them. Like, now they can feel even more violated and helpless! But, it added to
the story and made me think even more of the concept.
The original reason Triad started this whole thing to get
Marguerite to participate is RIDICULOUS. They are being so selfish in wanting
to destroy other dimensions! I can’t imagine the pain they feel, but how do
they think they could ever pull this off? I really hope our Marguerite can fix
this!
My last thoughts, I NEED THE NEXT BOOK NOW because the
Marguerite from the original Triad figured out how to get into our character’s
body. WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN?!?
