A Million Worlds with You by Claudia Gray

4.0

The Firebird trilogy has gotten steadily better as it's gone along, and this third novel brings it all home nicely. As befits a series finale, the stakes are higher than ever in this book, and the parallel universe-hopping that's always been a great showcase for author Claudia Gray's creativity feels less like idle sightseeing now that the villains are actively seeking to destroy whole universes (and/or kill off the versions of our heroine Marguerite who live there, which forever shuts her out of traveling back to those worlds). Some of this gets a little hokey, since the bad guys don't exactly have motivations that seem to justify wiping out entire universes, but mostly it's an adrenaline-fueled race to the finish line. The romance angle even takes a back seat to the heroics for once, which may not be to every reader's tastes but came as a relief to me. If you made it through the clunky early chapters of the first book in this series, you should definitely read on to see how it all concludes.
