Book Review: Bluebird by Marshall Smith

Bluebird introduces readers to a post-apocalyptic world transformed by mysterious Artifacts, leading to a phenomenon known as the Great Divide. In this new reality, the younger generation possesses abilities reminiscent of magic but lacks essential life skills. The story centers on Marcus, a university student majoring in Fire, who, alongside the enigmatic Sister Maria, embarks on a quest to understand the emerging threats linked to the Artifacts.​Goodreads+1libraryaisle42+1

The novel delves into themes of identity, mentorship, and the challenges of a rapidly changing world. While the premise is intriguing, some readers have noted that the narrative leans heavily on dialogue, which can affect the pacing and engagement. The character dynamics, especially between Marcus and Sister Maria, offer depth and insight into the story’s core messages.​moonraker
