Über diesen Titel
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.

Super intelligent protagonists name their invention "firebird"??? If there was some kind of story connected to the name it might be come accross plausible, but it felt like a 5-year old wrote part of a YA-novel. It really rubbed me up the wrong way.
The same with the part of the same people destined to have a connection in different dimensions. The worlds themselves are just too different for that part to have any plausibility without an underlying theory. But there isn't even a hint of one. While parts of the story read really smoothely, this bit always felt like a puzzle piece that was forced into place to "give an interesting background" for the story.
I also found the relationships too superficial. What are the sympathies the characters feel for each other founded on? There doesn't seem to be any development based on the interactions of the protagonists. They just "are". Especially the main character Marguerite comes accross as shallow. In the beginning she just wants to kill somebody because there is some indication that he killed your father? I mean, if somebody that was close to you was suddenly accused of murder, wouldn't you question it first and find it unbelievable instead of becoming a vigilante instantaneously?
The narrator also has some mixed qualities: On one hand she does very good male voices, which are recognisable for the different characters. On the other hand, the end of the senteces always seem to end on an upper note, which is maybe supposed to give it an air of drama. Since the whole story is read that way, though, I found it a bit tiring.
good premise mixed with stupidity
