A Thousand Pieces of You (Firebird #1) by Claudia Gray -- Restarting November 9th 2024

[Irene]

Ch 9
(view spoiler)[It's trying to hard :/ First it wasn't Paul - I saw that cooking - and now the Firebird just broke? It would have been fine if it hadn't been mentioned that it could break etc (hide spoiler)]

[Irene]

Ch 12
(view spoiler)[How come they don't speak Russian? (hide spoiler)]

[Irene]

Ch 18
(view spoiler)[Aww I really liked that dimension! Her dad was so sweet! Curious to find out what will happen to Paul now. (hide spoiler)]

[Irene]

Ch 22
(view spoiler)[The overload test. Brilliant! Didn't see that coming. Great twist! I mean, I knew Marguerite was special, but that it was because of the 'accident,' that was a surprise. (hide spoiler)]

[Dana]

Can i join in this, or is it too late?

[Irene]

I finished last night, but you can join :)

[Dana]

30%(view spoiler)[ Ok so far, as long as I don't try to think about it too much. The science mumbo jumbo is pretty far fetched and super skimmed over, but when I just ignore the holes I like it. Although the whole Paul not being her fathers killer was very predicable. (hide spoiler)]

[Dana]

76%(view spoiler)[ Enjoying this alot more now that the mumbo jumbo is out of the way. Although I have a HUGE issue with how she slept with someone while in someone elses body. And her excuse being "oh I know she wanted it because she drew pictures of him". Bullshit! Just seemed really terrible of her especially because the russian version of her would have way higher consequences from it then the "real" her. (hide spoiler)]

[Dana]

Done(view spoiler)[ Loved this! Lots of holes and kinda over the top plot but was a very fun read (hide spoiler)]

[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[I liked that too, although don't see why she had to be the one. Sure everyone involved loves her but everyone involved loves eachother anyways so I found that to be a bit odd. Everyone could have been blackmailed to help not just her. Especially with her having the fewest skills in the group that would help to be a inter dimensional spy/assassin (hide spoiler)]

[Sibil]

The cover is really amazing! *_*

chapters 1-3 (view spoiler)[The beginning seems good. I like that we are just in the middle of the action and, at least for now, I like Meg's voice (hide spoiler)]

[Sibil]

chapters 4-6 (view spoiler)[I like Theo but I do not trust him. And I know that Paul is the bad guy, at least for now, and that we haven't see him yet, but we know just what Meg thinks of him, but I like him. (hide spoiler)]

[Sibil]

chapters 7-13 (view spoiler)[Finally we can see Paul, he real one and not just Meg's memory. And I really like this second new world, the russian world is far more intersting. But I hope that they can leave it soon, because it seems dangerous! (hide spoiler)]

[onceuponatimeareview]

I will be starting this soon. I have a The Heir and Between the Lines to Finish :)

[Sibil]

There is no hurry :) If I finish this one before you I'll come back to comment! :)

[Sibil]

chapters 14-17 (view spoiler)[It seems that there would be a love triangle. Damn it! (hide spoiler)]

[Sibil]

chapters 18-20 (view spoiler)[I am really sorry for the russian Peter! I hope that they can manage to bring back the "original" one, but I am really sad for his death! And I am really sad for the russian Meg, too. But now I am curious: what does happen to the Meg that she leave behind whene she changes the world? I'd really like to know! (hide spoiler)]

[Sibil]

chapters 21-24 (view spoiler)[Ok, I really didn't see that coming! WOW! (hide spoiler)]

[Sibil]

finished (view spoiler)[This one I saw coming, but I was really hoping to be wrong. In reality I hate to be wrong, but when we are talking of book I often hope to be wrong!!!! I am sorry for Thero, but I am happy that they are back all together! (hide spoiler)]

Can't wait!!

[prag ♻]

I'll join in! I just started this book.
(view spoiler)[I like the idea of travelling in different dimensions, but what I don't get is how there's a Marguerite in the universe the original Marguerite landed and how she inhabited the body if the second Marguerite and well, I basically have no idea what's going on.

Who's Theo? (hide spoiler)]

[prag ♻]

Ah, that explains it. I really like the idea:
(view spoiler)[The universe is in fact a multiverse. Countless quantum realities exist, all layered within one
another; we’ll call these dimensions, for short.
Each dimension represents one set of possibilities. Essentially, everything that can happen does
happen. There’s a dimension where the Nazis won World War II. A dimension where the Chinese
colonized America long before Columbus ever sailed over. And a dimension where Brad Pitt and
Jennifer Aniston are still married. Even a dimension just like my own, identical in every way, except
on one day in fourth grade, that Marguerite chose to wear a blue shirt while I chose to wear a green
one. Every possibility, every time fate flips a coin, splits the dimensions yet again, creating yet more
layers of reality. It goes on and on forever, to infinity. (hide spoiler)]

[Drishti]

Do you guys plan to continue the series?

I probably will if I like this one.

[prag ♻]

34%
(view spoiler)[Why do I have a feeling Theo's going to turn to be the bad guy here? (hide spoiler)]

[prag ♻]

Oops, I read the synopsis of Ten thousand skies above you and yep my suspicions are correct.
(view spoiler)[Paul becomes her BOYFRIEND?? (hide spoiler)]

Thanks! :-*

[Meghan]

I may continue if i like this one.

[Meghan]

I may continue if i like this one.

[Abby]

I like it so far, but I'm only a few chapters in.

[Meghan]

This is so captivating so far!!!

[David]

I just now realized this was in my Buddy Reads list. I'll get to it ASAP!

[prag ♻]

This book is so.............different. I don't know. I'm liking it quite a bit.

Chapter 21
(view spoiler)[
IS THE ORIGINAL PAUL DEAD TOOO OMG I NEED TO KNOW WHAAAAT

What kind of a person is Marguerite!? Instead of looking for her dad's murderer she's spending the *perfect night* in Russia? (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[prag ♻]

Hahaha ohh Paul
(view spoiler)["I remember having sex" so blunt (hide spoiler)]

[Abby]

Chapter 8: (view spoiler)[I knew Paul would catch up to them eventually! Hopefully he doesn't do anything stupid to get Marguerite and Theo. (hide spoiler)]

[Meghan]

Ahh, loving this book so far!!!! Chapter 10
(view spoiler)[I KNEW Paul wasn't responsible! Who could have framed him though? Hmmm..
Oh my gosh Marguerite why must you be so clumsy hehehe. I have a theory that either Theo or Paul are gonna stay behind now and give hid Firebird to her (if that's even possible) Eeeep! (hide spoiler)]

[Abby]

Chapter 13: (view spoiler)[The Marguerite and Paul of this universe are so totally in love and it's so great! (hide spoiler)]

[Meghan]

Abby wrote: "Chapter 13: [spoilers removed]"

I love it. We need a ship name, yes? ;)

EVERY version of Paul and Marguerite are great together

I completely agreee!!

[Abby]

Chapter 23: (view spoiler)[More Paul and Marguerite! I ship them so hard and I can't get enough of these moments between them. (hide spoiler)]

[Abby]

Finished: (view spoiler)[So so soooo glad that Marguerite's dad is still alive, but in another dimension. (hide spoiler)]

[Meghan]

Chapter 21 (view spoiler)[ Dude I'm kind of annoyed at Theo right now but at the same time I'm not sure what to think!! I love Paul and Marguerite together though. (hide spoiler)]

[Meghan]

Finished: (view spoiler)[ Wow that was awesome! I'm so glad Henry's alive. :) Marguerite and Paul forever. ;) (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley]

Chapter 6: (view spoiler)[ I don't really like or trust Theo. He seems a bit sketchy. I'm not sure how I feel about Marguerite. The world seems quite complicated and hopefully I'll feel okay in my understanding of the universe soon. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley]

Chapter 12: (view spoiler)[ I'm surprised Marguerite passed off Theo as innocent so quickly. He definitely doesn't seem innocent, and I feel like he must have had some sort of role in the murder, even if he wasn't the murderer. Also, I want to know why Paul ruined the research. It's 3 weeks until Paul can return, but I have a feeling something bad will happen before then. (hide spoiler)]
