About this ebook

In this sequel to A Thousand Pieces of You by New York Times bestselling author Claudia Gray, Marguerite races through various dimensions to save the boy she loves.

Ever since she used the Firebird, her parents' invention, to cross through to alternate dimensions, Marguerite has caught the attention of enemies who will do anything to force her into helping them dominate the multiverse—even hurt the people she loves. She resists until her boyfriend, Paul, is attacked, and his consciousness is scattered across multiple dimensions.

The hunt for each splinter of Paul's soul sends Marguerite racing through a war-torn San Francisco, the criminal underworld of New York City, and a glittering Paris where another Marguerite hides a shocking secret. Each dimension brings Marguerite one step closer to rescuing Paul. But with every trial she faces, she begins to question the one constant she's found between the worlds: their love for each other.

Ratings and reviews

My minor complaint of the book is that a) giant redwoods don't have leaves they have pine needles and simple research should have revealed that and b) Marguerite knows a lot of words (like hoi polloi) that very few teens ever would. I love that they may have visited our dimension. I also like the depth of coverage into the ethics of travelling through dimensions.

Finally, more exciting adventures to quantum parallel dimensions. As all good travels are, we are reminded and enriched with what is essential as it ends and wish for more. Ten Thousand Skies Above You did that. I love how the book lets us experience through imagination even the most unthinkable, absurd, impossible possibilities of a reality. And that no matter what era you're in, the kind of technology you're in, the breed of family you have, love is constant. Unalloyed joy for nerdy romantics.

If I loved A Thousand Pieces Of You, I'm almost %100 sure I will adore this book just as much as the last one! :-D
