This book is a follow-on to her two earlier books: The Shadowy Horses and The Winter Sea. You really do not need to read the earlier works to enjoy this story line because Kearsley inserts suffient page space to introduce the historical players in the necessary context. But it was satisfying to see what happens after the earlier stories and continue the overall story arc with a few of the secondary characters.
The majority of the story is spent in the past, tracking the path of how Anna ends up with the Firebird of the title. The secondary story shows how and why Nicola s following that path, along with some personal developments with her past love interest.
Once I started the book, I stayed glued barring meal preps and a couple hours of sleep. I also liked the educational sojourn into the beginning of Russia's golden period and the English politics that played out in the northern European landscape with the last phase of the Jacobite movement.
