Review--A Million Worlds With You by Claudia Gray

A million universes. A million dangers. One destiny.

The fate of the multiverse rests in Marguerite Caine’s hands. Marguerite has been at the center of a cross-dimensional feud since she first traveled to another universe using her parents’ invention, the Firebird. Only now has she learned the true plans of the evil Triad Corporation—and that those plans could spell doom for dozens or hundreds of universes, each facing total annihilation.

Paul Markov has always been at Marguerite’s side, but Triad’s last attack has left him a changed man—angry and shadowed by tragedy. He struggles to overcome the damage done to him, but despite Marguerite’s efforts to help, Paul may never be the same again.

So it’s up to Marguerite alone to stop the destruction of the multiverse. Billions of lives are at stake. The risks have never been higher. And Triad has unleashed its ultimate weapon: another dimension’s Marguerite—wicked, psychologically twisted, and always one step ahead.

In the conclusion to Claudia Gray’s Firebird trilogy, fate and family will be questioned, loves will be won and lost, and the multiverse will be forever changed. It’s a battle of the Marguerites…and only one can win.

Claudia Gray’s A Million Worlds With You brings the Firebird trilogy to a satisfying and emotion-filled conclusion. Basically in this one, Marguerite has to save the world…all of them! It’s a race against the clock or rather one of her evil counterparts from another universe, as she tries to end each universe as she sees fit and our Marguerite is doing everything possible to stop her. 

What always makes me tense in a book is when someone else assumes a character’s identity and their friends and family believe they are still them. It’s a rare scenario, but it always makes me want to yell at the other friends and family to say THAT’S NOT HER! Lol. Luckily in this one, I didn’t have to have that feeling for very long. Wicked Marguerite as our Marguerite has dubbed her, or Wicked for short, wanted to see what she could do in Marguerite’s universe but she and her Theo leave shortly after. Now Marguerite and Paul are going to follow their trail in order to stop her from killing the other Marguerites in the other universes and destroying them all. For it’s Wicked’s parents who want to put the pieces of their Josie back together after she died. 

Everywhere Wicked goes, she leaves unpleasant surprises for Marguerite to find herself in when she moves on. For only one universe self can possess another universe self at a time. Yes, it gets that technical and trippy! Lol. I definitely enjoyed the pacing to this one a lot more than I did the previous novel, because it felt like there was a direr situation at hand. Though, trying to save Paul and put the pieces of his soul back together was pretty dire too. But this is about saving multiple universes. 

What I couldn’t seem to get was why Marguerite always seemed to think she knew what Wicked was trying to do the body she left that Marguerite took over. She constantly thought that Wicked wasn’t trying hard enough to throw Marguerite into a more life-threatening situation and it’s like seriously? Why are you tempting fate? Also there was the fact that it seemed a few times, the first moment Marguerite “awakens” was more to shock then anything and the real diabolical plot was moments away. Every. Time. And yet, Marguerite kept thinking she outsmarted her. Every. Time. It just irked me, because I kept thinking, haven’t you learned by now? Each and every time you had to deal with Wicked’s last attempt which was usually two or three-fold? 

Another thing that started to make me groan was the lack of a safe question. Other universes put a question into place that only THEIR Marguerite could answer, yet our Marguerite never got around to implementing this with her people in her universe. So when she runs off to hug someone she hasn’t seen in a while. I wanted to tell her to slow down, make sure that’s YOUR person! 

It’s not that I didn’t enjoy this one. I did, truly. But there was just a few too many instances in this particular installment that I wanted to shout at Marguerite to stop and think! 

But honestly, what this all boils down to is good character development. While Marguerite’s choices and actions may not have been sound, they were real. Just like when you watch a horror movie and yell at the idiot to not go into the house where they know people were murdered and they hear a chainsaw from within! Lol. 

I did like that there was a bit more Marguerite and Paul time in this one! Since they’re traveling to all these universes together, for the most part. Though of course, Paul is still struggling with what happened to him in the previous book, being ripped apart and reassembled. It put a wall between him and Marguerite. 

One thing that kept bugging me about this series was how every character was judged in the other universes by how Marguerite saw them in hers. Like Wyatt for example. Yes, he is the evil villain here and was in a few other universes, but not everywhere. When Marguerite realizes at one point that all their universe selves share a core point or some such thing where a similarity can be seen in all the selves…you almost wonder if her Wyatt had the potential for good. But it was like she decided to never them a chance. Maybe I’m just over thinking things, I probably am, because yeah, the point was still that Marguerite’s Wyatt still did bad things and probably didn’t deserve the benefit of the doubt…but seeing all the other Wyatts started to make my head spin and you start getting attached to the one good one and you think, maybe your universe’s Wyatt could be like that too, if given the chance. 

Yeah, this book, this series will make your head spin because of all the potential and possibilities. Ones that the characters think of and wonder about and all the ones they decide to ignore for whatever reason. As I said, it’s a trippy experience! Lol. 

A Million Worlds With You was an amazing end to the Firebird trilogy that will have you pondering the possibilities of alternate universes and what could’ve been had you made one different choice here or there. It’s a series that will keep you turning the pages and wondering what’s real and not real at every turn. It was a wild experience and I am so glad I took this spellbinding journey!

Looks like we're learning about different animals in today's segment of Weird But True by Leslie Gilbert Elman! This ought to be interesting!

A wild female cottontail rabbit may give birth to six litters of four or more bunnies in one mating season. That's about 30+ bunnies for one female for one season. Sadly, the life expectancy for a rabbit in the wild is one year.

I always loved rabbits as a kid, this makes me sad to know that about wild ones!

In the 1962 The Manchurian Candidate, Angela Lansbury played Laurence Harvey's mother. At that time, Angela was only 3 years older than him.

FUN FACT: In the 1963 film, Bye Bye Birdie, Maureen Stapleton played Dick Van Dyke's mother and she was only 6 months older than him!

You know...I kind of wondered why Dick Van Dyke's mom looked around the same age as him in that movie as a kid. I mean, if anything I thought they looked just a few years apart, but SIX months?!

The male midwife toad will carry the female's eggs after mating, for about a month or so before depositing them in shallow water where they eventually hatched into tadpoles.

I feel like I remember learning this back in grade school. But then I can't remember, do the tadpoles raise themselves?

The "devil frog" or beelzebufo ampinga, is the largest frog that ever existed. It measures at 16 inches long and weighs about 10lbs. As you can see, he had a big mouth and largely made him a predator in the animal kingdom. Thankfully, it became extinct about 65 million years ago.

Dude, he's friggin creepy! Which makes you wonder, why didn't Jurassic Park include this guy with all their other dinosaurs?

The world's smallest seahorse is the Satomi's pygmy, which is only about half an inch big.

FUN FACT: The smallest snake in science is the Leptotyphlops carlae, or the Barbados threadsnake. Fully grown snakes are only about 4 inches long.

Sooo when I was reading these factoids, they were actually reversed. But I had no intentions of looking for a picture of the latter, so seahorse it is! LOL!

A gripping new thriller by the author of the instant bestseller Wherever She Goes.

Sometimes there's no use running from your past. . . .

Genevieve has secrets that no one knows. In Rome she can be whoever she wants to be. Her neighbours aren't nosy; her Italian is passable; the shopkeepers and restaurant owners now see her as a local, and they let her be. It's exactly what she wants.

One morning, after getting groceries, she returns to her 500-year-old Trastevere apartment. She climbs to the very top of the staircase, the stairs narrowing the higher she goes. When she gets to her door, she puts down her bags and pushes the key into the lock . . .

. . . and the door swings open.

It's unlocked. Sometimes she doesn't lock it because break-ins aren't common in Rome. But Genevieve knows she locked the door behind her this morning. She has no doubt.

She should leave, call the police. What if someone is in her apartment, waiting for her? But she doesn't.

The apartment is empty, and exactly as she left it, perfectly tidy and not a thing out of place . . . except for the small box on her kitchen table. A box that definitely wasn't there this morning. A box postmarked from the US. A box that is addressed to "Lucy Callahan."

A name that she hasn't used in ten years.

Edge-of-your-seat riveting, K.L. Armstrong's new book will keep you turning the pages until the very end.

This week's topic is: The Last Ten Books I Abandoned (submitted by Claire @ Book Lovers Pizza)

*I'm basically considering this my last 10 DNFs...that I recorded. There have been other DNF's where I may not have written a review, those were ones that I didn't even make to the 50 page mark, so they totally escaped my memory.

**you'll notice I didn't start DNFing more until recently!

***these will start with the most recent and end with the oldest...I then stopped once I reached 10...not sure how much further I could've gone either! lol

10. WHERE DREAMS DESCEND by Janella Angeles--(2020) I really can't remember why I DNF'd this one and it was one of the last ones I DNF'd too! I think the pacing was a bit slow and I was already getting aggravated by the world-building because it wasn't making sense to me.

9. CHOSEN ONES by Veronica Roth--(2020) I gave this one up to part 2, which is likely when things would've finally picked up. Honestly, part 1 felt too much like a prologue to get the characters on the course that the story would take. Plus there were intermittent chapters that were transcript like that were about the past, some might have been current, but I felt like these were detracting from the story, for me at least.

8. A MADNESS OF SUNSHINE by Nalini Singh--(2019) I guess I went into this one thinking it was going to be a thriller, instead it was more of a mystery and a slow one at that.

7. INTO THE CROOKED PLACE by Alexandra Christo--(2019) Honestly, I don't remember why I DNF'd this one. Pacing maybe? Usually it's a pacing or world-building issue for me.

6. A BLADE SO BLACK by L.L. McKinney--(2018) Honestly, I should've listened to the DNF reviews. This did a lot of time jumping, like it starts at point A, then 10 pages later it's X YEARS later, and then a few pages later it's X months later or something like that. It was just too much and I kept wondering when the action would start and it never did other than training.

5. THESE REBEL WAVES by Sara Raasch--(2018) I think this was another pacing issue. Again, I'm so bad at remembering my DNF books. There's a reason why I DNF'd them...I just can't always remember years later! Lol.

4. THE KINGDOM by Jess Rothenberg--(2019) I think this one just confused me a bit. Perhaps it was too futuristic for me?

 3. CIRCLE OF SHADOWS by Evelyn Skye--(2019) wow, I can't remember why I stopped this one. Had to be pacing.

2. ONCE UPON A DREAM by Liz Braswell--(2016) yes, 2016! This one was definitely pacing, I just wasn't sure where the story was going. But I've loved the next two in this series, so it's not all bad!

1. INK AND BONE by Rachel Caine--(2015) I wanted to like this one! I mean, it has BOOKS in it! But I think this might have been a pacing issue. It's been so long, I can't really remember. It was then that I came to the conclusion I just might not be able to get into Rachel's YA books despite loving her adult books. Go figure.

 

 

Review--Ten Thousand Skies Above You by Claudia Gray

Ten thousand worlds. Ten thousand enemies. One love.

Marguerite Caine has done the impossible, traveling to alternate dimensions with the Firebird—the brilliant invention of her parents, her boyfriend, Paul, and their friend Theo. But she has also caught the attention of enemies willing to kidnap, blackmail, and even kill to use the Firebird for themselves.

When Paul’s soul is splintered into four pieces—pieces that are trapped within Pauls in other dimensions—Marguerite will do anything, and travel anywhere, to save him. But the price of his safe return is steep. If she doesn’t sabotage her parents in multiple universes, Paul will be lost forever.

Unwilling to sacrifice her family, Marguerite enlists the brilliant Theo to help. The two forge a plan to save Paul and the Firebird, but succeeding means outsmarting a genius and risking not only their lives but also the lives of their counterparts in every other dimension.

Their mission takes them to the most dangerous universes yet: a war-torn San Francisco, the criminal underworld of New York City, and a glittering Paris where another Marguerite hides a shocking secret. Each leap brings Marguerite closer to saving Paul—but her journey reveals dark truths that lead her to doubt the one constant she’s found between worlds: their love for each other. 

I'm really trying to get myself to stop starting series and then not finishing them until years later! Lol. It's a curse! I read Claudia Gray's A Thousand Pieces of You as an ARC wayyyy back in 2014. So yeah, diving into Ten Thousand Skies Above You about 6 years later was rough! Luckily, I did find a recap online that was super helpful! I wish there were more than 2 bookish recaps sites! 

Anyway in this one we learn a lot has happened off page with the results of Marguerite's father being kidnapped and believed to be dead and the whole Wyatt Conley trying to control the time-traveling world and wanting Marguerite to come work for him. Lots of chaos and we get to know all of this through multiple flashbacks. I can't remember if this happened in the first book, all these flashbacks, but it was pretty tough sometimes. They almost seemed to blend right into the story and it took a bit of remembering that I was in a flashback, not current time. And then these flashbacks went on for quite a few pages and when I finally did come back to the here and now, I almost forgot what was happening there because that occasionally happened after I stopped reading for a day. So, it was definitely a challenge to get going with this one.

Marguerite learns that Conley has splintered Paul's soul into four pieces and unless she does what he tells her, she will never be able to put her Paul back together again, he'd remain splintered across multiple universes. Conley wants her to go to two different universes and destroy her parents' work on the Firebird technology that each one is working on. But if anything is done to aid Conley, Marguerite wants no part of it.

The other catch is, if she doesn't help him, not only will Paul's soul remain splintered, but Theo will remain damaged as well. He's been hooked onto a drug known as Nightthief, created by the Triad. Basically this happened when the Triadverse Theo took over Theo's body for such a long time and committed the crimes and basically made the "real" Theo's life quite difficult to get back to.

I forgot how confusing things could be when you're traveling to multiple universes where you and your friends and family exist and some things remain the same and other things are drastically different. And then there's always the "is this the REAL person or this universe's person?" So yeah, confusing.

I feel like the struggles I vaguely recall having with the first book remain prevalent with picking up the second book 6 years later. Lol. There was a great deal of physics talk and just wow. As an English major this pretty much baffled me. I was merely reading the words, but thankfully, they are done in a way that's not entirely confusing, but as I said, it can be overwhelming at times. Especially in the beginning...and when you start reading really early in the morning before work starts! Lol.

The pacing to this one was pretty average. There's a great deal of tension going on because you never really know who you can trust and if now is the right time to trust them. And then of course, Marguerite has a looming deadline with Conley to complete her "mission" and then she still needs to rescue Paul entirely and put him back together again. 

Then there are the personal complications that start to come about with this one. I was a bit miffed that once again Paul and Marguerite were separated for the length of the novel. All other Pauls she interacts with in the other universes don't count. There's great debates with Marguerite about whether this universe's Paul is like her Paul or something like that. But to me, they weren't her Paul. They might be like him in some ways, but they are not fundamentally her Paul, they are not the one she fell completely in love with. They may have some of the same qualities, but they are not him. So basically we had yet another book where the starcrossed lovers were separated. Again (and yes, I know they weren't really lovers at the start of first book. We were led to believe Paul was a murderer, but I digress.).

So the romance, was complicated to say the least. There were flashback moments of romance, so there was that. And then of course, we get that hint of a possible love triangle, but it wasn't really anything to worry about.

That ending though. Whoa! Things happened just before the explosiveness, things that would set the course for the final novel and I knew that one was going to be an intense read! But this last added bit that happened towards the end was shocking...and yet, it came to me to wonder why it never happened before to begin with! Lol.

There's a certain kind of magic to waiting to read a series until its completed (ignoring the fact that I am wayyy late to finishing this one!). I am glad that I don't have to wait for the conclusion to this one but omg why did I wait so long to read this?! Ten Thousand Skies Above You was a bit challenging for me, much like its predecessor, but it still has a nice flow to it that kept me hooked from the beginning and eager to see it to the shocking end! Can't wait for the series conclusion now!

Well, my county finally decided to begin re-opening things on the 18th! So one more week of the strict stay-at-home orders and then things will slowly, ever so slowly start reopening. I'm really hoping Kohl's re-opens soon because I have lots of returns to make! Lol! Also dying to go to Half Price Books again! I can't recall if they were closed during all this, but I've been trying to limit my trips to only what's necessary, which is mainly grocery runs on Saturdays. How are things going on where you live?


This week I only bought one book! I was actually about ready to cancel this preorder because the price was still too close to being full price, but then I won that gift card which really helped matters!

Aurora Burning by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff--I still need to read the first book, but now I'll at least be able to binge the two when I'm ready! Lol!

This week's question is: What platform do you use for your blog? (submitted by Elizabeth @ Silver's Reviews)

MY ANSWER: Blogger. When I first set out to create my blog for a contest, I learned that Blogger was the easier of the platforms and it was free. I don't recall Wordpress "costing" anything, but Blogger was definitely a bit more user friendly for the non-techy savvy person. And I am said to say that 11 years later, I'm still not very tech savvy with computers. Lol.

Which is also why I haven't updated my blog look in some odd years. I won this redesign some years ago and still enjoy it, so I never looked into getting a new one.

Time for more fun and nonsense with Leslie Gilbert Elman's Weird But True, wherein we will learn more totally bizarre and true facts!

(image borrowed from Ancient History Encyclopedia)

The Mahabharata is about 75,000 verses and nearly 2 million words long and is one of the longest epic poems ever written. It is one of the most significant Hindu texts in history. There have been many interpretations published over the years, though the most unusual one is from 2009, where an Indian academic was writing his own translation on Twitter. Yes. Twitter!

Kind of curious if he finished! This book is from 2010, so maybe?

(image borrowed from Wikipedia)

 The longest epic poem in existence is considered to be the Tibetan Epic of King Gesar written in the 11 century. It contains more than a million verses, most of which aren't written on paper. The passing of this poem was through storytellers.

Whoa. I don't remember learning about that one. I always thought Beowulf was long!

(image borrowed from Wikipedia)

Pramoedya Anata Toer was an Indonesian writer who wrote the famous "Buru Quartet" when he was a political prisoner for 10 years. Because he was in prison he wasn't given pen or paper, he committed his stories to memory by telling them to his fellow prisoners every night.

Dannnng! That's hardcore! I've a sucky memory myself! Lol.

It's believed that sometime in 1652, John Milton went blind due to glaucoma. He was able to write his 12 volume poem, Paradise Lost, by dictating to his daughters and assistants.

Whoa. That's awesome!

(image borrowed from Reddit)

People think that baby bunnies are "born blind" because their eyes are more often closed as newborns. This isn't necessarily true--the blind part. Rabbits are born with the ability to see but as babies, their eyelids are temporarily sealed shut. They tend to open one week after birth.

This I did not know! I guess that can be true of other baby animals in those early days!

Review--Pan's Revenge by Anna Katmore

It’s been weeks since Angelina has left Neverland. James Hook is desperate to follow her off the island and find her in this notorious town called London, when he makes a grave mistake.

The consequences alter the life of his once-arch-enemy, Peter Pan, in a way no one could have foreseen. The boy who wouldn’t grow up swears revenge, and what better way than by stealing Hook’s love?

Through a shower of falling stars, a loop around the moon, and then a hard left at the Clock Tower… 

When James Hook finally arrives in London, he has to fight with a vengeance for his love and in the battle face a boy who grew up after all.


Close your eyes and fall in love with the beautiful sequel to NEVERLAND. 

After the surprising end of Anna Katmore's Neverland, I had to pick up Pan's Revenge right away to see what would happen! And it was quite a twist, I'll give you that. Though the first book ended with an epilogue three months later, we pick up the story here right before that chapter and see what goes on in those three months.

Angelina has no memories of Neverland, just an odd dream that continues to fade from her mind. Though she still has the heart necklace as proof, she just assumes it was a gift from her sister. And so life continues on as normal for her. But the points of view in this book are mostly told through Hook and Peter! 

James is trying everything imaginable to get himself to Angelina, for he loves her and misses her. He'd do anything to be with her again. And then he gets the idea of destroying his father's pocket watch, the one that "stops time" in Neverland, but he has to get Peter to give it to him. Needless to say, things don't go well. Peter and James' relationship remains tremulous at best. When Peter finally does destroy the watch as provoked something strange happens, and Peter begins to age! 

This part of the story is where things felt a little too convenient, Peter is now around the age of Angelina and James. He's not happy about his new situation and  thinks of a plan to get back at James, to really hurt him. Naturally, that involves Angelina. He flies off to London, first thinking he might hurt her, but then figures having her fall in love with him would really kill James, so that's his plan!

Angelina upon meeting her new neighbor Peter doesn't know what to think of the mysterious boy. But she does find herself attracted to him, of course. I was terribly afraid we'd have a love triangle on our hands and for awhile it looked that way. James does finally make his way to London, which then has Peter acting rashly and telling lies to Angelina about him.

One thing that I hate, but it's not a bad thing for it to happen because its good writing, is when a character believe the lies of the enemy! It drives me nuts!! I long for reality to slap them in the face and for them to back away from said enemy! Lol.

In a sense, this story was really more about James and Peter and their shaky relationship. Will they mend the broken fences or will a catastrophic event separate them forever?

This was a decent read, and a good follow-up to the first book. I still got annoyed at times when we referenced the Disney Movie and called it a fairy tale, but what can you do? I almost wish we could've had the actual book Peter Pan in this story instead of a Disney-ified storybook. I love Disney with all my heart, but come on, the movies are not the original fairy tales, nor would they look alike. It's aggravating. Another bit that still aggravated me was the continued use of more modern slang that I don't feel like James or Peter would really know and yet they use this while on Neverland.

There was a bit of a shock factor to the ending of this one too, and I don't just mean the end result. I guess I saw a purpose for it, but it still felt like it was there more for a shock factor and seemed highly unnecessary. 

All in all, Pan's Revenge was an enjoyable read even with its flaws. It was a fun and entertaining read that brought up a nice little twist to the classic fairy tale. If you're open-minded to new fairy tales, that are a little flawed in some sense, then this would make for an entertaining read for sure!
