Beschreibung

Cloud 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.
Marguerite Caine's physicist parents are known for their groundbreaking achievements. Their most astonishing invention, called the Firebird, allows users to jump into multiple universes—and promises to revolutionize science forever. 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.
Marguerite refuses to let the man who destroyed her family go free. So she races after Paul through different universes, always leaping into another version of herself. But she also meets alternate versions of the people she knows—including Paul, whose life entangles with hers in increasingly familiar ways. Before long she begins to question Paul's guilt—as well as her own heart. And soon she discovers the truth behind her father's death is far more sinister than she expected.
A Thousand Pieces of You explores an amazingly intricate multi-universe where fate is unavoidable, the truth elusive, and love the greatest mystery of all.

Mysteriöse und spannende Science-Fiction, die einen von der ersten bis zur letzten Seite zu fesseln weiß. Genialer Trilogie-Auftakt!

Marguerite ist in eine andere Dimension gesprungen, um den Mörder ihres Vaters zu finden. Umzubringen. Doch das ist einfacher gesagt, als getan. Es beginnt eine Jagd, ja fast schon ein Abenteuer durch verschiedene Dimensionen. Immer wieder schlüpft Marguerite dabei in eine Version ihrer selbst, begleitet vom ihrem Kumpel Theo. Jedes Mal müssen sie sich neu finden, manchmal über Kontinente hinweg - und sich in ein neues Leben reinfinden, sich anpassen. Über technischen Fortschritt bis hin zu einer Version, in der sie die Tochter eines Russischen Zar ist. Ich habe das Buch ewig auf meinem SUB gehabt und es mir schließlich als Hörbuch angehört - die englische Sprecherin ist hervorragend! Hätte die Geschichte in einem Rutsch durchhören können. Tropes (in my opinion): Enemies to Lovers, Family Drama, Powerful Artifacts, Dramatic Reveal, Alternate Dimensions

21.07.2019 (This is just a quick review from a re-read) This book was really good, the story was well detailed. I had forgotten most of it and I'm so glad I re-read it! I needed it after so long and now I can finally, finally start the second one!

If you are looking for a bit science fiction story mixed with some humor and love, this is a book for you. From the first second i felt for Meg, Theo and Paul. I love the idea of jumping through dimensions and what it does with the other versions consciousness. I enjoyed this book a lot and can't wait to start with Book 2.

In parts it‘s a product of it’s time, but I really liked the concept and the plot with some nice twists.

4,5 Sterne! This is YA done absolutely right! ❤

There won't be a full review, just a couple of my thoughts. This was my first multi-dimensions-book, so I was curious how this would be written in a way that wouldn't leave me too confused. Claudia Gray did that very well. I liked the overall plot and especially the world development. Right now (I just finished the book 5mins ago) the only thing I really didn't like is the (kind of) insta-love.

I really like the idea and the plot overall. However I have to say that the storyline was very predictable and therefore a bit boring at some points. Nevertheless, I enjoyed reading this one and the other two parts.

This felt way more original than any book I‘ve read in a while. Yes, there have been multiple time-traveling books but dimension-wise? Not so much. Personally, I‘d say I‘ve only seen this with Avenger‘s Endgame so far (which doesn‘t mean it hasn‘t been done before, I just don’t know other stories similar to A Thousand Pieces of You). I like the pacing of the narrative because the characters never stayed longer than necessary at any place and dragged the story with anything unnecessary plotline or dialogue. Claudia Gray, thank you. Character-wise, we got our backstory and with that our world-building. I knew where this plot was situated at and what the motivation of every character was, it all felt very grounded. Neither has been the deepest, but considering everything, the balance of every element of this book was in order. There is a weird love-triangle involved and it‘s a very evened-out one, a little bit heavy to one side. That whole dimension-traveling makes it messy in a lot of ways with people being different yet the same at the same time yet not at the same time. There are plot twists I wasn’t able to predict (whereas I have to mention that I’m not the best at predicting plot points because most of the time I’m too much invested in the plot to even care what happens ten minutes later. Short: I don’t think ahead unless it’s really obvious on what’s going to happen next). Weirdly, I want to see A Thousand Pieces of You adapted to a movie. All these different dimensions are probably a lot of fun to look at, so I wouldn’t mind that. Also, I really want to read the second book because this plot ended in a way that made me want to want more. -- You can read my full review on my blog Blattzirkus
