This also means that you may only travel into a parallel universe where your other self exists. With multi-universe travels, only the consciousness of the person travels, not the physical body so there is no possibility of accidentally bumping into your other self in the other dimension. With time travel there are problems with paradoxes and the whole thing is just messy once you think about it. Getting past the beginning though, I was able to appreciate the multi-universe travel concept more than time-travel mainly because it has less loopholes. I felt like I was being thrown in a battlefield without being briefed on what the war was about.
That’s exactly why I found it a bit overwhelming in the beginning. Marguerite and her friend, Theo, immediately put on their Firebirds to chase Paul into another dimension to avenge Marguerite’s father’s death.
In fact, from the first chapter, the adventure starts right away. Right off the bat, the readers are introduced to the “ Firebird,” the device that allows its wearer’s consciousness to travel to different dimensions. And soon she discovers the truth behind her father’s death is far more sinister than she expected.Ī Thousand Pieces of You explores an amazingly intricate multi-universe where fate is unavoidable, the truth elusive, and love the greatest mystery of all. Before long she begins to question Paul’s guilt-as well as her own heart. But she also meets alternate versions of the people she knows-including Paul, whose life entangles with hers in increasingly familiar ways. So she races after Paul through different universes, always leaping into another version of herself. Marguerite refuses to let the man who destroyed her family go free. But then Marguerite’s father is murdered, and the killer-her parent’s handsome, enigmatic assistant Paul- escapes into another dimension before the law can touch him. Their most astonishing invention, called the Firebird, allows users to jump into multiple universes-and promises to revolutionize science forever. Marguerite Caine’s physicist parents are known for their groundbreaking achievements. Here’s the synopsis of the book from Goodreads:Ĭloud Atlas meets Orphan Black in this epic dimension-bending trilogy by New York Times bestselling author Claudia Gray about a girl who must chase her father’s killer through multiple dimensions. I “ judged a book by its cover” and that’s how I came to read this book by Claudia Gray, the first book in the Firebird series, “ A Thousand Pieces of You.” I don’t think anyone can deny the beauty of the cover but does the story live up to its cover art?
