Relation Concering 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.

Discuss Containing Books The Firebird (Slains #2)

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. The woman



Step 1. Read The Winter Sea by Susanna Kearsley.Step 2. Read The Firebird.Step 3. Squeal with delight. I was so happy to find out this is the rest of Anna's story. I'm properly addicted to her books now.

It just seemed a thing worth following, your Firebird.How to recap the plot when the book description does it so nicely? I'm going to take the lazy way out and bypass that and just talk about the reading experience. The Firebird is a sequel to The Winter Sea, and while it could stand alone, I strongly urge that TWS be read first. Fans of Kearsley are familiar with her dual time storylines, and the paranormal elements she incorporates to take the contemporary characters into the past. In this

Nicola Marten possesses the gift of psychometry, which enables her to see the history of any object she touches. While her skill seems practical for her job as an antiques expert, she has never publicly shown her special ability for fear of being labelled different. One day, a woman brings in an old item to their art gallery, needing provenance: a wooden statue of Firebird, which is a Russian mythical bird.Upon first touch, Nicola instantly glimpses a view of 18th century Russia, and is drawn to

Another fantastic Susanna Kearsley. As with most of her works, the writing is poignant, romantic, and informative, the characters are sympathetic, and the story is just downright cool. I love how adept Kearsley is at blending history and paranormal phenomena to make something altogether unique and altogether amazing.

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
