YA Buddy Readers' Corner ♥ discussion

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

Marguerite has no choice but to search for each splinter of Paul’s soul. The hunt sends her 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 world brings Marguerite one step closer to rescuing Paul. But with each trial she faces, she begins to question the destiny she thought they shared.

The second book in the Firebird trilogy, Ten Thousand Skies Above You features Claudia Gray’s lush, romantic language and smart, exciting action, and will have readers clamoring for the next book.

Theo & Meg: (view spoiler)[ In this dimension they are together as a couple and once they both jump in they found there self in the same bed together but naked and that freaked them out but they were learning that they are in love with each other and Paul is not in the picture yet. (hide spoiler)]

Russia Dimension: (view spoiler)[ So Marguerite travel to the Russiaverse to escape from Paul because she is too confused at the moment to figure out what's going on and she realized that she is not in the St. Peterburgs castle anymore when in fact she is in Paris because the Russian Marguerite put herself there so nobody thinks she's crazy or the other secret that she has... (hide spoiler)]

Marguerite: (view spoiler)[ The other reason why the Russian Marguerite put herself in Paris is because she knows that she is pregnant because she remembers the night that the shadow Meg and her Lieutenant Markov did the deed and wounded up pregnant and now current meg is feeling everything about being pregnant and she feels guilty that she did it to Russian Meg.

I finished and it was amazing

***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

Started a bit early.

Chapter 8: (view spoiler)[This wartime 'verse is pretty scary. Hopefully nothing bad happens to Marguerite and Theo as they go rescue Paul. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 14: (view spoiler)[Paul's a Russian mobster?! What a weird 'verse...(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 24: (view spoiler)[Now her parents are in on this? OMG! (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 10: (view spoiler)[ I don't really understand how Paul could've gotten a glimpse of the Firebird. If only the chain was visible, how could that prove anything? It's just a gold chain. And to rip it off instead of pulling it out of her shirt? It would've been funny if it wasn't actually the Firebird. I feel like this isn't going to go well. (hide spoiler)]

Finished: (view spoiler)[So evil Marguerite has taken over, and our Marguerite knows everything that's going on? So creepy! (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 14: (view spoiler)[ What the hell? I feel like this can't be something terrible, considering every Paul in every universe is somewhat the same person, give or take. If Paul did something terrible to her I would definitely start questioning Paul's whole destiny fate theory. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 21: (view spoiler)[ I hope Theo doesn't get mad at her for that... Or maybe he just thinks it was that world's Marguerite and not this Marguerite. I feel bad for the Russiaverse Marguerite. She should at least have gotten to make the decision herself. (hide spoiler)]

Done: (view spoiler)[ Somehow I don't believe that Paul will be going back to Marguerite's universe. Also I never trusted Conley but I never expected this from him. It's really scary for Marguerite to be taken over even though she's a perfect traveler... I guess this whole time Conley was just giving false hope. She gets her love back and BOOM she can't even enjoy it because she got taken over. I hope other Marguerite doesn't mess things up with Paul... that'd be awful. I guess that whole destiny thing doesn't exist since Marguerite is so awful in that other universe. (hide spoiler)]

I hate that I read this so early, because now we have to wait several months for the next one!

Reading from the 1st of July 2017

************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

Should be starting this soon c:

Ch 1
(view spoiler)[ Alright so its starting right in the middle of everything!! I kind of like when books do that. This dimension is pretty interesting! They are so far behind in the times that her parents just made a spyglass? Also why didnt the reminder work on Paul? (hide spoiler)]

Ch1

(view spoiler)[Wyatt Conley's back again as the villain :|

Pretty weird that Paul is a priest in this world though o.O not what I would've guessed at all (hide spoiler)]

Ch3

(view spoiler)[The idea of your parents cheering you on and hoping for a grandchild is definitely a good way to put someone off having sex XD well done to Meg's parents for that reverse psychology :P

Hope Theo will be okay in the end though - that they can find a cure or that it's possible for him to just detox (hide spoiler)]

Ch11

(view spoiler)[Well that didn't go so well o.O Clearly Paul cares so much for his Marguerite that he could easily tell when she wasn't herself.

Hopefully Meg and Theo can find a way to get the Firebird back and complete the requirements from Conley in such a way that HE thinks they sabotaged them but they actually didn't :| Now that Paul knows Meg isn't his Marguerite, maybe he'll be willing and able to help so he can get his Marguerite back? (hide spoiler)]

Ch15

(view spoiler)[Wait... Paul's the son of a mob boss? That's a pretty neat twist to this world :|

Interested in seeing how this goes... (hide spoiler)]

Natalie wrote: "Ch 3"

Lmao i know right! Her parents are literal geniuses to do that

Ch 5
(view spoiler)[ okay so if this dimension of Meg is sleeping with Theo does that mean we are getting a love triangle?? Im not that big of a fan of them :/ (hide spoiler)]

Ch19

(view spoiler)[Holy CRAP she's pregnant o.o

...at least the Grand Duchess Marguerite will have someone to remember Paul by? I was honestly kinda suspicious this would happen after their unprotected sex in the first book, but I highly doubted Meg would be going back to that world because of how many there are so I didn't expect to have a chance to see my suspicions confirmed or denied! (hide spoiler)]

Ch27

(view spoiler)[...What did This dimension's Paul do? Because it sounds like he may have done something really bad - like try to rape Marguerite... or maybe be the one who caused the horrible scar .-.

Bit scared to find out really. (hide spoiler)]

Edit: Ch28 (view spoiler)[It was just a car crash! Thank GOODNESS. I was really worried ._. (hide spoiler)]

Finished!

(view spoiler)[Holy CRAP Marguerite has been body snatched by her evil self! YIKES.

Ch 15
(view spoiler)[ omg mob universe!! I knew Conley was going to be the fiance and i knew Paul was going to be the kidnapper. Something tells me that Conley has loved Josie in quite a few dimensions (hide spoiler)]

Ch 20
(view spoiler)[ i knew knew knew knew KNEW she was going to be pregnant!!! I love the therapy session and her talking to this dimensions Theo. I wonder how she will get out of this one?? (hide spoiler)]

started it, nearly imidiately after the first book...
what should i say? love it so far :)

just finished the "spoiler warning: war world"
interesting chapters.... great but sad

hi Lisa I am starting now

Chapter 1

"Always we find each other" such a good line to show how much Paul and Marguerite care for each other

(was on my way home from vacation and couldn't post updates, so here are a lot :) )

Chapter 1-12: (view spoiler)[OMG! he splintered Paul's soul?
and now he's blackmailing her? i hate Conley! the "italian-version" of them was kind of sweet :) and the war zone? Theo loves her(i mean we already knew) :) i hope their plan with the false information works out! (hide spoiler)]

Paul and Marguerite are so sweet :)
i also like this quote:

“We’re not the same,” Paul says again. “Your Paul and me.”
Shaking my head, I smile. “You are, in ways you can’t even begin to imagine.”

Chapter 13-19: (view spoiler)[OMG! Conley is Josie's fiance! Paul shot Theo and she's pregnant? What's happening? (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 20-26: (view spoiler)[Her "parents" are in on this scenario?
And they want her to destroy other universes? OMG! Where is this story heading? (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 27-28: (view spoiler)[PAUL IS BACK! (hide spoiler)]

Finished: OMG! Did not expect this ending!

I love that quote from Paul too. I think it really shows how little they know about themselves in each of the universes. They can only really go by their experiences but they are completely different because they dont all have the same memories.



Oh and I knooooow!! The ending is sosososososososooo good and surprising
