Summary/
product description:
“A million universes. A million dangers. One destiny.
The
fate of the multiverse rests in Marguerite Caine’s hands. Marguerite has been
at the center of a cross-dimensional feud since she first traveled to another
universe using her parents’ invention, the Firebird. Only now has she learned
the true plans of the evil Triad Corporation—and that those plans could spell
doom for dozens or hundreds of universes, each facing total annihilation.
Paul
Markov has always been at Marguerite’s side, but Triad’s last attack has left
him a changed man—angry and shadowed by tragedy. He struggles to overcome the
damage done to him, but despite Marguerite’s efforts to help, Paul may never be
the same again.
So
it’s up to Marguerite alone to stop the destruction of the multiverse. Billions
of lives are at stake. The risks have never been higher. And Triad has
unleashed its ultimate weapon: another dimension’s Marguerite—wicked,
psychologically twisted, and always one step ahead.
In
the epic conclusion to Claudia Gray’s Firebird trilogy, fate and family will be
questioned, loves will be won and lost, and the multiverse will be forever
changed. It’s a battle of the Marguerites . . . and only one can win.”
My Review: A Million Worlds with You is the final book
in the Firebird trilogy. If you have not read this series then I recommend it
to fans of series and book including: Parallel by Lauren Miller, Tandem by Anna Jarzeb, 3:59
by Gretchen McNeil, The False Memory Series by Dan Krokos, Unraveling and
Unbreakable by Elizabeth Norris, Unremembered and Unforgotten by Jessica Brody.
It’s about
parallel universes and traveling between them. Marguerite in an artist and her
parent a physicist that built a device called the Firebird that a necklace that
lets you consciousness travel into another version of you. Marguerite is in
love with a young scientist named Paul who’s a grad student working under her
parents. There’s another student named Theo. Marguerite has a sister named
Josie, and there’s also the rich CEO Wyatt Conly, who is Josie’s fiancé in
other universes.
In this final
book Marguerite chases after the evil version of herself she call Wicked.
Wicked is from the Home Office universe that’s very advanced. Josie, who was
the perfect traveler from her universe, was splinted into many pieced, and
parts of her are in other Josies. They plan on destroying the other universes
to put her back together. In the previous book Paul was splintered, but only in
four pieces, which only took a Firebird to put him back together. Paul is still
damaged from this experience and even through Marguerite love him, he believe
he is still dangerous and pushes her away.
This book is an
epic saga of travel between dimensions. Wicked tries to kill the other Marguerites
in ways that are slow so when our Marguerite jumps into them, she might die too.
From futuristic London to an Egyptian dig to outerspace and so on. So many
different Marguerites. Paul says there’s a way to prevent the destruction of a
universe and builds stabilizers to save some, but it’s not easy. Can Marguerite,
her family, Paul and Theo save the multiverse from the Home Office, or will
someone have to make the ultimate sacrifice?
I was very
pleased with this book. Like the whole series, it was so exciting I really didn’t
want to put it down, but school and work go in the way, so I had to. This is
best read when there’s nothing else going on, like on a snow day or something.
This is probably one the best sci-fi series I’ve read. I’m going to miss it so
much.
Cover Art
Review: I love these cover so much. The watercolor is gorgeous, the skylines
flipped are so cool. Very sophisticated typography too.
