A thousand pieces of you (Firebird #1) by Claudia Gray - Restarting July 17th 2017

[Kelly]

" Marguerite Caine’s physicist parents are known for their radical scientific achievements. Their most astonishing invention: the Firebird, which allows users to jump into parallel universes, some vastly altered from our own. But when Marguerite’s father is murdered, the killer—her parent’s handsome and enigmatic assistant Paul—escapes into another dimension before the law can touch him.

Marguerite can’t let the man who destroyed her family go free, and she races after Paul through different universes, where their lives entangle in increasingly familiar ways. With each encounter she begins to question Paul’s guilt—and her own heart. Soon she discovers the truth behind her father’s death is more sinister than she ever could have imagined.

A Thousand Pieces of You explores a reality where we witness the countless other lives we might lead in an amazingly intricate multiverse, and ask whether, amid infinite possibilities, one love can endure. "

Expected publication is 4th November, I don't have my copy yet.

[Kelly]

I got my copy on Edelweiss when you could download it without even requesting it, but I didn't take the time to read it yet.

[Kerr]

what is Edelweiss?

[Kelly]

It's a website like Netgalley where you can get ARCs. Here's the link: http://edelweiss.abovethetreeline.com...

I don't think A Thousand pieces of you is still on it, though.

[Kerr]

thank you! That's ok, I like to browse ( :

[Sophie]

I'm in!

[Sophie]

I'm a little bit behind on my reading but I'm hoping I will get to this soon! How is it going for you guys so far?

[Kelly]

It's the same for me, I'll try to start tomorrow after the book I'm currently reading.

[Kelly]

I'm at 41 % (view spoiler)[ I like it so far even if I have some unanswered questions. I hope the truth will come out soon! Do you think Theo has something to do with her father's murder ? (hide spoiler)]

[Kelly]

50% (view spoiler)[ I feel so sad for Lieutenant Markov, I remember reading a book similar to their story (a princess and a Russian guard who couldn't be together) (hide spoiler)]

[Kelly]

57% (chapter 16) (view spoiler)[ it's a little weird to have him believe her like that (hide spoiler)]

[Kelly]

64% (view spoiler)[ " every Marguerite" this is so sad :( (hide spoiler)]

[Kelly]

I just finished. It was really good :) I hope you'll enjoy it too!

[Sophie]

Thanks! I'll probably get to this today.

[Sophie]

Finally started reading! Sorry for the delay.

[Sophie]

3% in: (view spoiler)[ Big info dump, though I guess in this kind of book it would be hard to avoid it.

Also really random clothing description, between describing her lace dress with her dad's cardigan (because California can still get cold!) and mentioning her possible not taking seriously of Theo with his indie band t-shirts. Not sure why that stuck out so much. (hide spoiler)]

[Sophie]

11%: (view spoiler)[ Not sure how I feel about the constant switching between flashback and present. (hide spoiler)]

[Sophie]

23%: (view spoiler)[ I'm not liking Theo very much. So irresponsible to get high while on a critical mission, and just how he acts. From the flashbacks, I'm liking Paul a lot more, so I'm hoping that there's a mistake and he didn't really do what Meg thinks he did.

Also, wow Meg's a jerk for making fun of Paul for shopping at a thrift shop. Though at least she felt bad about it after. (hide spoiler)]

[Sophie]

42%: (view spoiler)[ I definitely think Theo did it. I don't trust him, and I'm glad that this book is now leaning towards Paul. Sad he doesn't remember her, though! (hide spoiler)]

[Sophie]

I just finished! I really liked it. I didn't much at first but it grew on me.

I love Paul and Marguerite together so much!

[— Massiel]

I'm in! I can't wait to read this book.

[Rachmi]

Hi Once Upon A Time and Circe, have you guys started it? I just started it a while ago :)

[Rachmi]

Chapter 3 (view spoiler)[It's a bit confusing and I have lots of questions. I thought it'll be more like which I love, but as Marguerite said it's dimensional travel, not time travel. My only hope is the author describe that dimensional travel well so that my questions aren't left behind. (hide spoiler)]

[Rachmi]

Chapter 9 (view spoiler)[Even if Paul tells Marguerite the truth, that he didn't kill her dad, she's too easily to trust him, IMO. I mean she believes he is the killer but then suddenly, just because he looks surprise and cries in front of her, she trust him instantly. Didn't she think that he pretend it? Well I guess this is a rethorical question as we already know it, but still :) (hide spoiler)]

[Rachmi]

Chapter 10 (view spoiler)[Where did Marguerite's Paul go when he lost his Firebird and Lt. Markov gets back to his own body? (hide spoiler)]

[Rachmi]

Chapter 11 (view spoiler)[So it means, wherever and which dimension Marguerite and Paul are, they meant to be together, right? (hide spoiler)]

[— Massiel]

Sorry for the late! I'm too busy with the finals exams that I haven't started at all.

Chapter 1
(view spoiler)[I'll like to say that thanks to Claudia I read books and love them. The cover of this serie is so beautiful, and I just ended the first chapter and I already like it! Hope it continue like that (hide spoiler)]

[— Massiel]

Chapter 4
(view spoiler)[For now it's okay. I like Marguerite and more Theo, all the plot is kinda slow but I like the way is turning out. (hide spoiler)]

[— Massiel]

Chapter 8
(view spoiler)[I love it! I like everything for now, the way it's tell about the past and the present keeps me going reading also I like how Claudia makes the characters, they're not the cliche perfect all they have their imperfections. Theo surprise me also Marguerite did, I can't wait to continue! (hide spoiler)]

[— Massiel]

Chapter 11
(view spoiler)[I need some explanations!! Tell me please there's not a love triangle, I HATE IT! This is all so confusing. (hide spoiler)]

[— Massiel]

Chapter 14
(view spoiler)[I love so much Paul soldier, he's so cute in that way, and now Theo finally appears! Is a little slow but I like it a lot! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[It was a bit confusing in the beginning but once you get the idea of the whole dimensional traveling, I bet you can enjoy it like I did :D (hide spoiler)]

[Tati]

I'll be starting this early, hope you don't mind :)

[Irene]

So am I :) Read two chapters already :)

[Tati]

Starting the second chapter, and I can already see that I can't think too much about the concepts, or my brain will implode

[Irene]

Oh I love that! :D Was a big fan of the first seasons of Fringe as well :)

[Tati]

I actively avoid those TV shows, like Fringe, Doctor Who and the like

[Tati]

Chapter 4 - I'm not really feeling this... Maybe I'm getting too tangled in the questions...

(view spoiler)[ What is the point of dimensional travel? And what happens to that dimension's person when her self from another dimension comes visiting and occupies her body? (hide spoiler)]

[Irene]

Ch 4
(view spoiler)[Is that a love triangle coming? Theo-Paul-Marguerite. I hope not... (hide spoiler)]

[Tati]

Irene, I'm really, really sorry, but I gave this up... It just wasn't for me

[Irene]

That's fine, not every book is for everyone :)
Sometimes I start a book I don't think I'll like just to try out the genre again, because, you know, sometimes you change and maybe that genre you've always avoided will be your new favorite :)

[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[I'm not sure there is a point, at least I don't know what it is yet. What happens to the person, as far I understand it having read just the 4 chapters, is that the travelling person will take over the body in the 'new' dimension, so I think the other part of the body/soul will just be 'asleep' or something.
I'm wondering what happens when the person travels... Does she/he disappear from the dimension they travel from? And what happens when suddenly *poof* someone just disappears within a second? (hide spoiler)]
