"I listened to this book as audio it was really good I love that there are so many things the characters can do in this book traveling in different dimensions. It’s also heartfelt which was a nice slow down as an in between read from my other series books I’m waiting on definitely a read recommend to cuddle up and dive into!"
"<br/>This book presents itself as a action book. Based on the summery this book sounded so good. It was a huge disappointment. In the whole book they only go through three demention. One was really similar to the original demention. The other was mostly flash backs and the last one is 97% romance the entire time. They could of got creative but nope. <br/><br/>The romance was bad. It was so boring. I was actually cheering when a character died because i wanted something to happening. All the characters were boring so i didn’t care if they died. Like i said before i was cheering for them to die. In the whole book there was more romance then action. Some scenes made me cringe. There’ll be times they are under attack and they stop to make out of something. There was a love triangle between Paul and Theo. Then not long after Marguerite decides that she doesn’t love Theo anymore and he would be replace by Paul. There was a love triangle with Paul and other demention Paul. The whole thing was stupid. <br/><br/>The plot twist was predictable. The twist earlier on was so predictable that i saw it from 2,000 miles away. All the other twist i have seem a bunch of times by the time it came up i didn’t care about the story anymore. <br/><br/>The characters were so boring. Marguerite was a boring main character. Either she was talking about her dad being dead or she was talking about Paul or Theo. She was also confused which Paul she liked more.<br/><br/>The plot starts as soon as the book starts. Right in the beginning they shove a bunch of information on you. The demention, the plot, thunderbird and a lot of flashbacks. Most of the first demention is flashbacks. With all that time we don’t get to see anything that makes us want Marguerite to end up with one of the guys."
"Eh. It's on the more original side of YA and the cover is absolutely gorgeous. I'll read the next two, but I don't know, I thought the science was a little too made up? And who would call a... dimension hopping necklace (I guess) a Firebird? I mean, I think they gave a reason but I didn't totally pay attention to everything XD<br/>I just wish the book took itself a little more seriously I guess but what we get is fairly entertaining. So I don't mind a whole lot.<br/>All in all: a decent way to spend a couple of hours but not the best thing I've ever read either."
"This series is PHENOMENAL!! I haven’t even finished the first one but I am SO hooked!!! The plot, the characters, the connections- it’s all so unique and beautiful and makes you feel like you’re right there!!! If in doubt, just read it!"
