Countless alternate dimensions, one very special teenager

A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray

April 7, 2017 by Malin Leave a Comment

3.5 stars Marguerite Caine’s parents are both genius physicist and have invented a device that allows the user to jump between alternate dimensions, by basically inhabiting the body of the alternate version of themselves. Before the device could be properly tested, however, Marguerite’s father is killed in a car accident and her parents’ research assistant, Paul Markov, has disappeared into another dimension with the only finished Firebird device.

Yet when a woman, Margaret Ross, comes to them with a wooden carving which she wants authenticated, claiming that it was once owned by Empress Catherine of […]
