August was a pretty bad reading month for me, but I'll definitely be re-reading this soon

Well I finished reading this last week and I really enjoyed it. I liked the modern story more than the historical one (which was different for me with this author as I usually like them about equally). The two present day leads had great chemistry even in a book. I liked how it connected to The Winter Sea though. I look forward to reading more from Ms. Kearsley though, I have 2 of her newer ones on my amazon wish list hehe.

I preferred the modern day story as well, but I did like the historical one quite a bit too. I've since read The Winter Sea and The Rose Garden, but neither has topped Firebird for me.

I've liked every book I've read, but I really really liked Firebird I liked the Winter Sea, but because I read it after Fb it just wasn't as good. I really liked Nicola's timeline and the psychic element, so the writer's arc in WS just wasn't the same.

That's fair. I guess I liked both since the psychic part of Firebird kept me interested and the writer's part of Winter Sea. I've always thought mental abilities were really cool to read about and I have always been so fascinated with writing, wanting to write one book myself in fact.

It was interesting I just found Fb had a little more depth I guess, I felt like I was there most times.

That's a good point too, Susanna Kearsley is so great with her details, it feels like you're there with the characters most of the time.

Oh wow!
This is what I am listening to right now. I am loving it. The narrator is great with accents and men's voices too. |

The narrator, Katherine Kellgren is one of my favs. She also narrated My Lady Jane. I'll get most anything she's narrated. She's so good with Scottish and English accents. I was shocked to find out she was American.
RIP Katherine __________________

I am surprised that she was American because she was excellent at accents.
I still have to listen to My Lady Jane. |

Fb I really like it. It's funny and I do love the characters. But I still love WS more. I am waiting for the twist in Fb... I feel like she usually adds a twist. |
