Rendition As Books The Firebird (Slains #2)

Whoever dares to seek the Firebird may find the journey — and its ending — unexpected. Nicola Marter was born with a gift. When she touches an object, she sometimes sees images; glimpses of those who have owned it before. It’s never been a gift she wants, and she keeps it a secret from most people, including her practical boss Sebastian, one of London’s premier dealers in Russian art. But when a woman offers Sebastian a small wooden carving for sale, claiming it belonged to Russia’s first Empress Catherine, it’s a problem. There’s no proof. Sebastian believes that the plain carving — known as “The Firebird” — is worthless. But Nicola’s held it, and she knows the woman is telling the truth, and is in desperate need of the money the sale of the heirloom could bring. Compelled to help, Nicola turns to a man she once left, and still loves: Rob McMorran, whose own psychic gifts are far greater than hers. With Rob to help her “see” the past, she follows a young girl named Anna from Scotland to Belgium and on into Russia. There, in St. Petersburg — the once-glittering capital of Peter the Great’s Russia — Nicola and Rob unearth a tale of love and sacrifice, of courage and redemption…an old story that seems personal and small, perhaps, against the greater backdrops of the Jacobite and Russian courts, but one that will forever change their lives.

Judge About Books The Firebird (Slains #2)

This was probably more of a 2.5/3 for me. Susanna Kearsley writes compelling characters, and her stories have a certain charm, a lightness that seems to guarantee a happy ending. Maybe it's because I've read so many of her books within the last year, but I found this one formulaic. I liked both storylines, but I'm not really sure they needed each other. I found myself wishing that Kearsley would abandon her signature framing device and separate the stories rather than forcing them together in a

Rating Clarification: 2.75 StarsThis is a hard review to compose, because all my GR friends know how much I love Susanna Kearsley's books.Let me reiterate:I.Love.Susanna.Kearsley's.Books.They make me smile.They make me cry.They (sometimes) make me gasp in surprise over her clever plot twists.They educate me on less known periods of history.They allow the romantic in me to squee over the characters and their struggles, and cheer these fictional people on.They even allow the cynic in me to swallow

5 knave starsIf we cannot be what we were born to be, the whole of it, we die a little on the inside, every day we live the lie.So many happy tears. So many feely feels.The Firebird is one of my favorite books of all time. This was the first book of Ms. Kearsley's that I inhaled before going on a binge of all her books a couple of years ago. Whereas every single one of her books are fantastic and I recommend them all, this one in particular has a very special place in my heart. Perhaps it is the

While I struggled on whether to rate the first book in this series a 3 or a 4, this second book is at least a solid 4 for me. The books' format is very similar. They both have two timelines. There are people in the present day stories that have supernatural gifts that enable them to see what happened in the past. I liked the gifts presented in the second book more. In the first book, the story was set in Scotland. In this one, only a small portion of the story is in Scotland, while the majority

ETA Oct. 13, 2017: THIS IS STILL SO GOOD. I liked it even more now that I've read the first book in the series as well. What an excellent book. I loved this so much!!!!! Both stories were SO GREAT. At the start, I was super into Nicola and Rob in the present, but as the book went on, I became so invested in Anna's story. ANNA!!!!!! WHAT A GREAT KID/YOUNG ADULT!!!! I love her so much. I didn't quite see the twist at the end coming but it had me clutching at my face because I was hoping that

Review January 2018:Still 5 stars. An absolute favorite. -Review April 2014:(view spoiler)[You guys. I don't know what to say other then HOLY HELL I loved this book. I thought I loved the Winter Sea a lot but hands down, this sequel blows it out of the water. Little Anna, you all, little Anna. I am so proud of her and the strong young women she became and when she told Sophia that she was blessed because she always had a loving family around her, from Krista's sister and husband who loved her

This one was not as good as the Winter Sea (Not comparing the books., just stating my humble opinion). The story was slow in some parts and lacked the tension of the previous but all in all, I did enjoy the journey, and getting to know Nicola/Rob and Anna/Edmund and seeing some 'old friends' pop in again... including a clever one who hid in plain sight, the devil :) (And no, I don't care if that's a run-on sentence :-P)I enjoyed seeing what became of Anna and her journey through life.
