Welcome Back to Book Talk!
Speaker 2so welcome back to Book Talk . This is our book club episode . Our book club book for the month was A Thousand Pieces of you by Claudia Gray .
Speaker 1Yeah , I'll go ahead and read the book description for this book for anyone who's not familiar .
Book Description
Speaker 1Marguerite Kane'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 . And promises to revolutionize science forever , but then Marguerite's father is murdered , and the killer , her parents' 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 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 . So that's the book .
Speaker 1So what we're going to be talking about is our thoughts on the book , answer some book club-esque questions about the book and kind of give our final ratings as well . After we talk about this book , we will touch on our new book club book for April , which is going to be the Nightingale by Kristen Hanna . So stay tuned , because at the end we'll

Reading Recap
Speaker 1we kind of wanted to do a reading recap for this book and just kind of like go through it . Obviously we can't read the whole book again , but just to cover the heavy plot points .
Speaker 2Yeah , get our brains moving . Fresh reminders , for if you guys have read it or if you haven't read it , then you kind of understand what we're talking about . As we go through Reminders for us , while we go through as to what's happened , because , at least for me , it's been a little bit since I finished the book , so it's nice to have a little refresh .
Speaker 1Yeah , also , we do have some listeners that aren't necessarily book readers , but they just like to listen to us . So I think being able to share the actual story will help you to follow along with our thoughts , give some context .
Speaker 2All right , starting off , I think , yeah , this book started off hot . We like dove right in here . Uh , marguerite's dad ends up killed in a car accident . Um , and they believe the killer is paul , who I believe the research assistant was the title . Um , and he also stole what they call the Firebird , which is her parents' life's work . It's a device that allows you to travel through different multi-universes dimensions and it places you into the person that you would have been in this like multiverse .
Speaker 1So if there's a universe that you're not in for whatever reason , like your parents didn't want to have kids , or your parents aren't together you're not in that universe . It's physically impossible for you to travel there , yeah you can't because you have to go into yourself in that universe .
Speaker 2So Marguerite and her family are like super distraught about this , obviously , um , and so Theo , who is their other research assistant on this firebird project , goes back and he remakes the old prototypes of the firebirds that they had tested out but then discarded , so that way he can go and travel . And he's going to go try to find Paul and kill him , basically for what happened to Marguerite's dad and for abandoning them and causing all the chaos that's been going on . And Marguerite's like well , you them and causing all the chaos that's been going on . And Marguerite's like well , you're not doing that without me , I'm going to . So Theo sets the Firebird specifically so it follows Paul's Firebird throughout the different dimensions . So anytime they travel , it will travel to wherever their dimensional Paul is at . This is going to get a little confusing , because we're going to go through a lot of dimensions here .
Speaker 2So we're talking about , when we say the OG dimension , that's like the original , like where the true main plot line lies . So the OG dimensional Pauls , og dimensional Theos , that's what we're talking about .
Speaker 1Yeah , and so in the first dimension they go to what I think they might refer to as , like the Londonverse . I think it's a more futuristic London . And so in this first dimension they do find Paul , but he's super confused on why they're so angry and they actually attack him , but also they're just surprised that they found him . And so we find out he was shocked to learn that the dad died , which leads marguerite to believe he didn't kill him . But theo is still very , very much convinced that he did um because one track minded there yeah , also , theo doesn't like see his shock .
Speaker 1So marguerite , I think , thinks that it's like partially that , because in the London verse Paul and Marguerite like end up on a train together , and so that's when she comes to that realization of like , oh no , he doesn't know , but Theo wasn't there to see it . So she is like no , he really doesn't know . But they chase him into another dimension and in this one Theo and Mar Marguerite are separated by a great distance , but her and Paul are together . And Marguerite are separated by a great distance but her and Paul are together . And Marguerite is a Russian princess and Paul is her like personal guard , kind of .
Speaker 2And so Theo tries to like talk to her through like letters , because obviously this is like an older time frame , not as like high tech , and so the try to get to her from where he's at , I think , in like france , would take forever . So in this version of the multiverse they're separated pretty much the entire time . Um , marguerite , immediately her firebird like breaks , she falls and it breaks into a million pieces . So she has to figure out a way to fix it . Um , her paul uh , the og paul , dimensional paul uh , is going to try to help her fix it together , but then because he's a guard and he's caught with his firebird , his like commanding officer in that dimension takes it , which , without that , that means that paul , her stuck there , is stuck there and starts to forget who he is and reverts back into Russian Paul , and Russian Paul is like taking over back over the memories and what's going on in the consciousness , basically . And so her OG dimensional Paul is like kind of like asleep within him .
Speaker 1And also Marguerite is not smart like her parents . She's not not smart , but she is not like the grad student or physicist .
Speaker 2She's the artsy brain .
Speaker 1Yes , so this is definitely a difficult situation for her , because her firebird is broken and now the only person who would be able to fix that doesn't know who he is anymore , because that dimension of himself has now come back through .
Speaker 2And she can't reach theo because theo's across the world and can't get to her . So she does come across her dad , who's still alive in this dimension , and so she's trying to find a way to convince the russian dad to fix the firebird for her without having to explain a bunch to him and make her sound crazy and him question everything without . So it's a very like secret kind of mission that she's going through and on and trying to get this back . And in the meantime I think it's over a few weeks that she and paul are stuck there she comes to like really love Russian Paul , which poses this real conundrum for her because she's like am I in love with all Pauls ? Is it just Russian Paul ? I don't know what I'm feeling , how to go about this in this multi-dimensional world .
Speaker 1Also we forgot to mention in the London verse her and Theo actually had a moment where they kiss and it almost goes farther , but it doesn't , because Theo's being a gentleman , um so we love a good love triangle yeah but it's almost like more than a love triangle because it's like Russian Paul right , paul and Theo it's like a multi-dimensional love something .
Speaker 2Yes , yes . So she is able to convince the dad to fix it after a lot of hijinks and a lot of craziness going on and she ends up giving into like her impulses , and her and russian paul do have a steamy night together .
Speaker 1She actually opens up and comes clean to her dad and Russian Paul about how she is not Russian Marguerite , um , or Margaret I can't say her name and I'm just anyway , um . So she comes clean to them and they believe her and , um , they help her . But Gresham Paul dies and so you think that their Paul is now dead with them , because if you're in someone else's dimension and they die , you go along with it because your soul is now like in that person .
Speaker 2But and Margarita is distraught . Yeah , she is . She is such an emotional wreck , which obviously you know .
Speaker 1Sad girl .
Speaker 2Yeah , totally understandable . She travels to an emotional wreck , which obviously you know . Sad girl . Yeah , totally understandable .
Speaker 1She travels to a different dimension , which then proves that her Paul made it out of Russian Paul before he died , which leads to even more conflicted emotions because she is still grieving Russian multiverse of it all .
Speaker 2Is it that Paul is essentially the same in all dimensions , just as she's the same in all dimensions , and so it doesn't matter which dimensional Paul she loves , she loves them all ? Or is it strictly Russian Paul who she loves ? Because , you know , people are different depending on your circumstances and things and how it goes ?
Speaker 1So she has a lot of internal turmoil over this situation yeah , and in this , um , in this universe I think they call it the triadverse which is a company that funds her parents research um . So it's this , you know , or dimension that she travels to . It's super similar to her own , but just slightly different .
Speaker 2Both her parents are alive in this one If you had the same style shirt but in a different color it's very similar and she's reunited with Theo , which is super nice because he was really scared for her and he's been helping her a lot with the technical side of jumping universes dimensions , keeping everything straight for her too .
Speaker 1Yeah , but he's still , like paul's , a bad guy like he hasn't . He's just been chilling in france and russia verse and has no idea . So he he still is like paul's , not great . Like he killed , he killed your dad , mm-hmm . So he takes her to the corporation triad that he's interning at that helps fund her parents' research on the Firebirds . But her Paul warns her via text that the CEO his name is Wyatt Conley conley is after her and she's got to get out . Um , actually , I don't even think he says that the ceo is after her , but he just says like you need to do not go to that room , like you can't be there , so you're in danger , basically .
Speaker 2So she like finds a way to be , like get out of the situation , basically like , oh , like I lost my bracelet , I gotta go find it in the car , like I'll be right back , kind of thing . But in actuality she goes , steals the car and like dips and finds og paul in this dimension and where he's at , and basically when she finds him he kind of lays it all out there for her . She explains that yes , he stole the Firebird but it wasn't because of like malintentions . He was trying to protect really her and her family by doing so .
Speaker 2Because Margarita's special , she doesn't need the reminder , she doesn't need the Firebird , as we saw in Russia , to remember who she is in her original dimension self . Remember who she is in her original dimension self , unlike everybody else . Like a Russian Paul where when he didn't have the Firebird to remind him , he kind of fell asleep within Russian Paul . The OG Paul fell asleep within Russian Paul and Russian Paul's consciousness took over . So it's a really like insane skill to have that triad once , because they want to use that her and like figure out how she's able to do this and use her as a spy and other dimensions to steal technology and other things from them to bring to their own dimension . So this is huge for marguerite to figure out and things are starting to kind of come together for the reader , but not , maybe , for Marguerite . She's still very confused on the whole situation .
Speaker 1And she needs to convince Theo of this as well , because again , one-track mind . But then they travel to a new dimension , because Paul says he needs to confirm something , but he's still being a little cryptic . And this dimension dimension , we can call it like the . I don't think they say but like underwater dimension . So in this dimension , uh , water levels have risen . There's like no land , so everyone lives in underwater um towns kind of yeah , like rigs .
Speaker 1But uh , it's here that she realizes that what paul is trying to confirm is that her dad is alive , but he was just trapped in this dimension without a Firebird because of Triad , and that's what Paul needed to confirm . But they had been separated in the dimension by distance . But then Marguerite uses her Firebird to give her dad a reminder and they have this like heartfelt exchange Moment .
Speaker 2Yeah , like you know , know proud of you , love you , kind of thing it's sweet um but then .
Speaker 1So theo finds her and is able to get to her before paul is and so they travel via submarine to pick up paul , who's also making his way , and Marguerite is filling Theo in . She has told him everything that's going on .
Speaker 2The problem is , too , though , that they only have between Paul Theo and Marguerite . They only have three firebirds , but in order to bring back her dad , they need four , so that's the conundrum that they're in right now trying to figure out how to solve this situation to get her dad back to their all , their original dimension um , and then whilst they're in the submarine they hear intercom from her dad and then paul , who actually made it on there .
Speaker 1And so paul learns that triad made a green drug to kind of enhance the time that you don't need a reminder . So reminders are like shocks they hurt . But for people who aren't perfect travelers they need those reminders .
Speaker 1And this green drug , which I think they call Night Thief , it makes you able to not need a reminder longer , so you can stay in control of that person longer and at this point she realizes that Theo has been taking the drug and she now knows that this is not her OG Theo , like she thought , but it's actually a spy . And Theo realizes that she knows too .
Speaker 2So they're stuck in this little submarine together , both realizing that now all the information is laid out on the table . Everybody well , they both know everything . So then it becomes the mad dash of Theo trying to hold Marguerite to like tell her everything that's been going on , give her all the information , be like I'm so sorry he's from Triadverse too , I think , is where he's from .
Speaker 2I had to to do this , you know , uh , we really needed this like information . And she's like what the heck is going on ? I can't trust you . You're a horrible person , blah , blah , blah . It's kind of like a real fight , like they're like throwing punches , grappling each other , like throwing each other to the ground .
Speaker 2She steals theo's firebird and escapes through and the escape pod on the submarine , leaving theo in this submarine that throughout everything is now broken and on the edge of a trench underwater , so essentially leaving him to his death , kind of thing . Um , but she's like , whatever , screw this guy , I'm taking the firebird for my dad and I'm gonna get back and we're gonna , you know , make everything right . Uh , when she gets back to the underwater , like rigs place , yeah , city , whatever boat , kind of thing , uh , she explains what happened to paul and how theo is actually not there , theo , but Paul decides to go back and save that other dimension's Theo , because it's still , and again it goes back to the . Is it really all Theos or all Theos ? Is it just that dimension Theo ? You don't really know , but it's still Theo to Paul .
Speaker 1So he doesn't and this underwater , theo , who has done nothing wrong , but it's just the body that's been used .
Speaker 2Yes , and so he wants to go back and save him . Marguerite then uses the Firebirds to take her dad back to the original dimension .
Speaker 1So they're all back in the original dimension now in the original dimension now , and it's there that they also come to the realization that this triadverse Theo has been in the OG's Theo body for like months . He has been there for so long .
Speaker 2All the weird things that they were seeing , like you know , thinking he had substance abuse issues and was like acting kind of strange . It's because he was , because it wasn't their Theo .
Speaker 1Yeah , and the substance was night thief . But so once home , her mom and sister and og theo , who is now back in his own body because once triad verse theo left , he was og theo . They all know what's been going on and they're so happy to have dad back because they also , they all still thought that he was dead . So that's a shock and a happy surprise , uh . And then finally , marguerite goes to face og paul and her feelings for him . But she can't figure out if she loves all pauls , or kind of just russian paul , and then also theo at the end kind of says like that triad verse theo ruined my shot , didn't he ?
Speaker 1because of the way you're looking at me right now . So then you kind of , you kind of see actual , sincere theo come through and then you're left in the middle of this will they , won't they ?
Speaker 2does she love him , does she not ? What about theo ? Because the theo she came to know wasn't actually the real . And thus the trilogy starts .
Speaker 1And then you're also left with . Okay , they got away from Triad and Wyatt Conley in this moment and in this instance , but you know that he's not done .
Speaker 2Like he's going to come back . So what will happen next ? Read book two yeah , and that's the book . That's our little reading recap of it .
Speaker 1Hopefully you were able to follow along and it made sense . I'm sure we left out some things , but again , we can't read the whole book .
Speaker 2But those are just some big things and it gets really confusing because it is like through the multi-dimensions it's all the same , russian first og marguerite , russian marguerite right , all these different , like yeah , it's the same character , but it's a different character at the same time , kind of thing . So yeah , hopefully we were able to at least keep it somewhat coherent for you guys .
Speaker 1Yeah ,
Book Analysis and Thoughts
Speaker 1but so I had read this book before , I think in high school . But what were your initial ?
Speaker 2thoughts . I had very mixed feelings on this book . So , unlike last book club , this one definitely expectations were met . I knew what I was getting into when I was reading this book . So , unlike Last Book Club , this one definitely expectations were met . I knew what I was getting into when I was reading this book and I knew going in that it was a young adult novel . So it was going to be a little bit different and cater towards a different audience than , like , my eighth bracket . So some of that you can see when you're reading like it is kind of young adult . But it didn't affect my reading of it because I did expect that going into it .
Speaker 2However , with this book I just I don't know . The story was super compelling for me and I really loved the idea of it and the multi-dimensions and the ethical questions of it all ethical questions of it all . But the writing I had a hard time with a lot of times , just because it got kind of hard to follow in the beginning until you really got your bearings . But then , once you got your bearings , you're okay and then all of a sudden it ended so abruptly for me . I don't know . It was a very . I'm still undecided on this book and how I feel about it . It's very mixed for me . What about you ? Yeah ?
Speaker 1Well , it's funny you say that because I had read your Goodreads review before we did this , so I kind of knew a little bit of your thoughts , but I think well one I didn't remember as much as I thought I would have , so that was nice , it was like reading it again . And then I really think you have to go into this with the mentality of it being a 2014 young adult sci-fi book in order to enjoy it , because it is very much like mid-2010s um-esque sci-fi young adult , uh , but I do love the concept . There were parts that were a little cheesy , but for me it was still very enjoyable , and I think nostalgia plays a role in that as well , since I had read this before it was like , like .
Speaker 1Oh , I remember that yeah um , but to your point of it . Starting , uh , kind of quickly , it reminds me of , uh , enola holmes , that movie where it's it kind of goes in pretty action-packed and then it's a lot of just like flashbacks to get those Right , to get that info , which I'm actually surprised that you don't like that , because you are someone that like likes to figure out things . So I feel like you'd pick up on things that they haven't touched on yet or I don't know . Maybe because you like to think about it , you want all the information ahead of time . For me , I'm like I don't know . Maybe because you like to think about you want all the information ahead of time . For me , I'm like I don't care , I could care less , like whatever you give me .
Speaker 2I'm like taking it's a very , very great point , very valid point for me , like I loved Enola Holmes and you're right , normally I can keep up with that and it keeps you thinking throughout the whole thing . The only reason it didn't work for me with this book is because you needed to connect with the character , to feel her emotional trauma , and because it wasn't just you're thrown in the action and you're trying to figure out what's happening .
Speaker 2It's like you needed that emotional connection to her to feel for her and to feel the pain of her loss for her father and the anger towards Paul . You really didn't get that when you're starting .
Speaker 2For me it felt like starting the movie 15 minutes in , where you lose some of that character build up and dimension to like connect with her before you get the trauma dump , to like so that way it felt more , you could feel for her more in that and understand her actions , versus like just my dad died . I'm doing all this and , um , you know , like I'm so angry at this person I want to kill him , but you're like what the heck is going on ? I don't understand . Like sure , okay , I guess , like let's go on .
Speaker 1Have you seen my Life with the Walter Boys on Netflix ? I have not , or okay , but I feel like there are other movies and shows that start off and it's like my parents died , or like the vampire diaries . You start off . You don't know anything about her , but you know that , like her parents are gone , but you can't connect to that trauma yet , but you still . I'm not trying to convince you , but I'm just saying like there are definitely other instances where it does start very just like , oh , she had all this trauma and now you're going to learn how she's going to go through it .
Speaker 2But to counter vampire diaries is it's like yeah , you don't have that like it , but it didn't start the action . Yeah , that's . Yeah , that was true . Yeah , you don't have like the background of it . You're like , yeah , my parents died , but you , you're not like thrown in the middle of like almost all of a sudden there's vampires everywhere and you're like being you know and that whole thing . It's like you still have a bit of a build up .
Speaker 1Start with um leia , princess leia , saying give this to obi-wan , and then it's action , and you don't know anything . I'm just starting to find when that matches like you're done I'm not taking it away from you , but for me also .
Speaker 2I'm done . That was my last input . I'm trying to find another one . Yeah , just for me . For this book . I just needed a little bit of I think it's really context in the beginning , more context , more I need to in order to understand her anger and the like huge swell of emotion .
Speaker 2I just needed a little bit more build up for me that was really the thing with this book no , that it totally does make sense , but I like , I did enjoy it and that kind of gets into like what my favorite part of the book was was the russian part , because I feel like at that point you did , you finally got that , like you got the connect with her more , and then the book pace kind of slowed down a little bit to like a reasonable pace , not like super slow , and you really got to feel like the emotions within it .
Speaker 2Yeah , I love when she sees her dad . Yes , so you , yeah , I love when she sees her dad . Is that that marguerite also loves paul . But it's the complexity of the situation because it's not her paul , it's russian paul , and like does that mean she loves og paul too ? And that whole complexity . But so that I love . Because as soon as , as soon as you got more of that connection with her , then it really like I think that part really did a good job of like making you connect with her more yeah so I I thought that was a beautifully written part in the whole russia scene definitely .
Speaker 1I feel like that's the author's favorite part as well , because that russia part is like a majority of the book she took her time with it .
Speaker 2I think that's where it gets into . For me , with this book was like with the writing style , more so than the story , because it almost feels like she was so excited to write this book that she was just kind of like rushing through it to get to like the meat and potatoes of it all and then , once you got to the meat and potatoes .
Speaker 1Then it like took off and it like made more sense , kind of thing yeah , I think my favorite part was when marguerite realizes that her paul had feelings for her . Um , because there's a lot of flashbacks in the book of her um , kind of interacting with og paul and she's kind of finally putting together like , oh , that look wasn't a look of you're not smart , but a look of like a deep understanding and longing , which I thought was cool just to like see her realize it , because it then just like adds to the feelings of our soulmates a thing . Is it all Paul's ? Is it just one Paul ?
Speaker 2Absolutely . Yeah , no , I loved that too . It really like . It's like you're growing into the love for him and realizing things that you didn't realize before .
Speaker 1But it's funny because this kind of ties into my least favorite part as well , because my least favorite part was that the love triangle extended to Russia , paul and OG Paul , and that it wasn't just like Theo and Paul or just Russian Paul and Paul , but it was . It was a little mult .
Speaker 2Multidimensional kind of yeah , weird .
Speaker 1And then also the fact that she didn't I personally don't think she considered Russian self's feelings when making a lot of decisions in Russia .
Speaker 2It's like she kind of does and she recognizes , but then as soon as OG og marguerite wants something , it's like completely out the window , like doesn't even care about it .
Speaker 1Yeah and or she she just makes excuses like she would want this too , or like , oh , that might be hard for her , but like I need this , I want this . And it's like , well , this isn't you , like it's you , but like this is not your dimension , like it's not your place Right , like . Oh , it really irked me .
Speaker 2I was like no , and it makes you wonder too , like because it kind of gets into the complexity of the science behind the whole book , Just because the Russian Marguerite is dormant when OG Marguerite takes over . But does she have those ?
Speaker 1memories when OG Marguerite leaves her . Or is she completely left in the dark ? We don't even know too . Is she just seen behind the eyes being like let me out ? We don't know . But if that's the case , that is painful too , you know .
Speaker 2Yeah . It's definitely an ethical , morally kind of weird situation . We're philosophers today , Absolutely yeah . So another thing I didn't like was the whole London verse of it all . That part was just not my favorite . I think a lot of it still had to do with like getting acquainted with the book and everything , but it just , I don't know , it felt very chaotic and you're still trying to understand , and I thought the whole Theo part was like again , it was like thrown in there and I'm like what's going on ?
Speaker 1I don't understand . The Theo part didn't bug me as much as her , just like blatantly getting drunk and maybe that's part of like her grieving , was her like going off . But I was like you got things to do , girl .
Speaker 2This is only the first stop . Yeah , where are your priorities ? It's not like you've been at this for a while and you're just done . Yeah , yeah , um yeah , that was another part that I just yeah , not my favorite . What were your thoughts , though , on the love triangle ?
Speaker 1okay , right now , oddly enough , theo interesting yeah I like his , like confidence , even though that was the evil , theo's confidence . So maybe I don don't actually know . We love a good villain though , but they're like they say that like you're like similar across dimensions . So I'm sure like Theo is like charismatic , like that , but I think I just didn't like like Paul seemed a little brooding to me and like Interesting , like I'm just not into that , or like the secrecy , like just not into that , or like the secrecy like I don't know , or the fact that he never expressed his feelings , like I'm just like come , like I don't have time for that like .
Speaker 2See , I had the complete opposite view of this because I loved paul throughout it . I didn't take him as like brooding , or I took it as like he had these feelings but he just didn't know how to express them properly . It's like he like he really liked marguerite , but he didn't know how to express them properly . It's like he really liked Marguerite but he didn't know how to approach the situation because he's very introverted , kind of in himself , less brooding , more just awkward , doesn't know how to be socially aware with people you know , so interesting .
Speaker 2But I will say for me in the love triangle , even though I was team Paul throughout the , the entire thing , now that russian paul , I was team russian paul , but up until the end , when we find out that theo wasn't really theo , well like , well , now I feel like I need to give theo a good chance moving forward . Yeah , I can't judge him because I was like not really him per se , kind of like Paul in Russian Paul . So now I'm like I'm undecided as of the end of this book . I need more information on real Theo before I can truly commit to Paul . But I do think Paul is endgame at this point .
Speaker 1I think Paul is endgame too , but I'm going to root for Theo anyway , but I do .
Speaker 2I would love to see that relationship and that dynamic blossom a little bit more in the next book .
Speaker 1Yeah , especially because they talked about like soulmates or whatever in this book , so like you can kind of assume that like , okay , paul and her are soulmates , I guess , I don't know . Interesting , interesting . I feel like you have lots of thoughts on the author's style of writing . It just wasn't your fave it just wasn't , I don't know .
Speaker 2It was very opposite of our last book , where it was like the writing was great but the story was not . It was very opposite for this book for me , where the story was super captivating I already kind of talked about it but like the writing , yeah , it just felt very rushed to me and it wasn't even the young adult aspect of it because , like I said , I was kind of expecting that , like mentally going into it . So , even though that's not necessarily like my preferred way of reading , it didn't bother me because I knew that going into it it was truly like the development of it and that first third of the book that drove me crazy . And then the very end , I feel like at the end of the book , she like didn't know how to end the story without starting book two .
Speaker 2Yeah , so it became like a very abrupt ending . That wasn't even like a left you like a cliffhanger kind of thing . It was just very like okay , we're ending it here , and then the next book would start . And so I was like what the heck like , that's it . That's where we're ending it here , and then the next book would start . And so I was like what the heck that's it . That's where we're ending on , yeah .
Speaker 1So yeah , the writing was kind of off for me she was a bit jumpy , even not just jumping into a new dimension , but even certain scenes were , I feel like , a little jumpy . But maybe we're just used to the pace of Sarah J Maas , of how you're getting everything . 800 plus pages of books yeah , absolutely . But I honestly I didn't mind it . I don't think it's some like a type of style that I could read all the time , but like once in a while it's like fine it's a nice little break from all the really heavy kind of books that you read and I don't think , mind not having like all the pieces of the Palazzo like just kind of jumping in places because , I don't know , I'm still like captivated by it .
Speaker 1I think it kind of reminds me of like when you're on Instagram and then you get a little blurb of like the werewolf king did , like you know of those like e-books , that like pop up and it's like read more . Download the app . Like I'm already captivated by just like the little bit , so I think it's kind of like similar , like I don't necessarily need like all of it to like be captivated sure , for me it's like less , like I totally get that .
Speaker 2Yeah , I guess it's less like that for me with like the ebook previews , but on like tiktok when they have like little snippets of whatever law and order svu things . And you're like you're watching and you're like , okay , well , now what's going on ? Like you're kind of like , well , what happened ? Did they get the bad guy ?
Speaker 1yeah , what did you find most surprising about the story ?
Speaker 2if you found anything surprising , um , I found it like it's hard for me because I predicted a lot but there it definitely didn't get me all the way , which I appreciated about the , because I had kind of figured out that the triad guy was the bad guy and like triad was like going after , like going to play a bigger role in everything with the firebird , and I kind of thought that her dad was still alive because of that . Not necessarily that like I mean , it makes sense that they brought him to a different dimension , but in some way , shape or form I figured he was still like alive . And I didn't trust theo from the very beginning . Theo is not somebody . I was like this is too sus , he's too like motivated because it was written in 2014 you do not have to try absolutely .
Speaker 2Um , but I didn't have it figured out that theo was a spy , like that whole aspect of it and how , like putting together with , like the drug the made them like you know not need reminders yeah , the night thief , like that part . When I was reading that in this , the whole submarine scene , I was like my jaw on the floor like oh my gosh , what the heck . So I loved that part yeah that was super shocking to me , which I appreciated , because you kind of expected to be a predictable book .
Speaker 1So the fact that it got me , yeah , I loved that yeah , I did not remember the evil Theo either from the last time I read this book , so that was . I also was like , oh , so you're saying there's a chance . I love that . Um , and then also something that was surprising is like the reasoning for why triad wanted Marguerite , like why her like I don't know .
Speaker 2It's like you already have the drug , then like why do you need her ? But I do understand to a point because it's like like what makes her special ? Like maybe they want to like study , that kind of thing .
Speaker 1But I don't know yeah , it's kind of a it was a mixed feeling there yeah , that one was interesting . Anything you'd change about the book ?
Speaker 2yeah , just I mean I think nothing new for me , like just the beginning , like I would have rather had like just not too much of a build-up , but maybe , just like you know , starting at like the father's funeral or something like I don't know I feel like it happened just after he died that they're like we're gonna go find him and avenge him , kind of thing , and I needed that extra little like boost to understand her and kind of like understand where I'm at with and like her grieving process before like jumping into like now we're gonna go do this . But that's like a personal thing for me .
Speaker 1I feel like maybe being like left with a little bit more of a cliffhanger would have been nice , but more so also development of theo and marguerite , because I feel like they barely touch on it at the end and I feel like that's something they're gonna explore more .
Speaker 1Yes , but for most people who aren't me , I feel like they haven't let the the reader kind of like have any desire for want theo to be a love interest , because it was just all paul completely agree I feel like adding a little bit more to that , whether it was in london or at the end , but just like having a little bit more there would help for whatever this future , to make it a successful love triangle . Yes , I think they needed a little bit more .
Speaker 2Yeah oh no , I absolutely agree because , yeah , I do . I think that's why , at least for someone like me who , like , was rooting for paul so much , it's because she didn't like develop that theo bond as much . So , yeah , yeah , no , I totally agree with that
Alternate Life Paths and Ethical Dilemmas
Speaker 2.
Speaker 1Okay , this is a fun question that I thought of . What do you think your other dimensions would look like and which would you want to visit ? It's like how would you be in another dimension .
Speaker 2So this was like a tough one for me when we were talking about it pre-recording , because I'm a very like decisive person , so trying to think back on like Cannot relate recording , because I'm a very like decisive person . So trying to think back on like trying to think back on like big decisions that could have like changed trajectory for me was kind of difficult . I know that there are , but it was just like in the moment , um , but some big things that I think could have changed like the trajectory of my life in different dimensions was like I grew up an Air Force brat , so we moved constantly .
Speaker 2So what happens if , like , my dad wasn't in the Air Force and we were actually like living in like a small town or maybe a big city , who knows wherever , living somewhere , like where would that place be ? What would my life look like ? How much would I be different as a person ? Would we be doing this podcast Exactly Like not having that experience moving forward ? So that's kind of really interesting to think about . Another one is that you reminded me of that if I never stopped working at Disney because I worked at Disney World for a while and that's like was my passion , that's what I thought I wanted to do . I wanted to work up the corporate ladder there and get there . I'm like , nope , not for me , don't want to do it anymore .
Speaker 1But what happens ? Like if I stayed there would I have , like you'd be the person be . Like , did you see the new drink ? They ?
Speaker 2introduced like just I don't know , that's kind of like an interesting one too , is like if I stuck with it and didn't give up so quickly on it . Or like maybe instead of like the path I was on wasn't because like working in attractions or whatever .
Speaker 2It was fun for the time . But if I swapped jobs to like something else , would that have changed my perspective on it at all either ? Would I still be there ? So that's kind of curious . Could have been friends with a princess and this one is shout out to my mom because I get reminded of this one all the time . I took fencing lessons in fifth grade and my mom was so excited because apparently I was really good and she was thinking about all the scholarship opportunities I had and like . This is going to be amazing . You could be in the Paris Olympics right now . I could be an Olympian if I had kept with it .
Speaker 1Isn't it happening in ?
Speaker 2Paris this year , I think . So that could have been you , I could have . And if I stuck with it ? But of course I'm like all right , I did it , I'm done . Check the box . What's next ? My mom devastated . So what would have happened if I , like , stuck with it ? I think that's the one I would love to visit the most out of all of them . Like , what would happen if I did stick with fencing ? Would I have actually gone on to be like an Olympian when I've gone to a different school because of scholarship opportunities ? Like that could have changed a lot too . Yeah , wild , what about you ?
Speaker 1Okay , so one that I thought of was I was a zipline guide for a summer right after undergrad and I think about if I hadn't stopped being a zipline guide and I stayed living up in North Carolina and just lived up there . It would be a much more quaint life and , I think , nice . I think I would really enjoy it . And then another one I actually applied and got hired to be a flight attendant at one point , but I ended up not going through with it . So I wonder what would happen if I had gone through with it .
Speaker 1Like I feel like that would be so different and I think I would have a lot more experiences in certain aspects , but I wouldn't get to have the nice home life and getting to foster the relationships with friends as much , getting to foster the relationships with friends as much . So I do wonder what that would look like . Right , and then two more quick ones . One I lived in Miami for most of my life , actually , no , maybe half of my childhood life . I lived there until I was 10 , and then I moved a little north . So I wonder what would happen if my parents had decided not to move .
Speaker 2Would I be fluent in Spanish ? I would love to say speaking fluent Spanish .
Speaker 1Yeah , would I be fluent in Spanish . I would love to say speaking fluent Spanish . Yeah , would I have an accent . So that would just be interesting , like . I feel like that drastically would have changed my life , because I was only there till 10 .
Speaker 2But to actually Like what you're interested in and things like that , yeah exactly .
Speaker 1I think I would be so different . And then also I had two school choices , so it was either UCF or FGCU and all of my like high school friends , like my like besties at the time , went to FGCU and I didn't really know anyone going to UCF . So I almost went there because it was like safe and what I knew , so that that would be interesting too . Like would I ? Would I still be friends with them if I went um ? Because I'm not necessarily as close with them now as I was , like it's just so .
Speaker 2I don't know what that would look like it's kind of fun to think about but , it's hard and it's challenging because you're so used to your life the way it is right now , yeah , that it's hard to picture it any other way yeah , but they don't have a fgcu , doesn't have a basketball or a football team , so I wouldn't have liked that yeah um , I think I would most want to visit the zipline guide .
Speaker 1I feel like she's so at peace right now can't really so that one would be fun .
Speaker 2Yeah , that would be a good one . So , kind of like going with this theme of like thinking about the book and like if we were in it , like let's talk about like the ethics of it . We kind of touched on it , um , so like , what are your thoughts on like the body snatching that they talked about ? When you're , it's like you're entering another version of you in a different dimension yeah .
Speaker 1So this kind of corresponds with my least favorite part of the book , which is how she treated russia marguerite um . So not cool and very dumb of her to explore a love that isn't for her like it's not it's I . I don't like it yeah but it's hard too , because it's like what's the harm in a quick visit ? So I think in those instances of like a quick visit , like london is fine , they were there for like a day . It depends what you're doing , yeah , it depends what you're doing .
Speaker 1Yeah , it depends what you're doing , who you're talking to . I could see that being so like beneficial for like a grieving process of like you get to see someone that you haven't seen . But as a whole , I'm not cool , yeah , like especially just doing the things that she did right . I'm not a big fan of it long term and doing a relationship in another dimension I totally nice .
Speaker 2I totally get that . I go back and forth on it a lot because it's one of those things where it's still technically you and so it depends on , like , how much that dimensional you is present while you're visiting and like taking over that person's body per se . So like when we're talking about , like Russia , marguerite , like is she still aware and does she remember everything that went on while OG Marguerite was there , or is it like complete memory wipe ? Only OG Marguerite , who was experiencing those things , can remember those things . Og Marguerite , who is experiencing those things , can remember those things .
Speaker 2So I think that's a big question I would like to know in order to like refine my thoughts on the matter a little bit . But yeah , it's kind of it is . It's a tricky one because , like you said , like if you're just visiting and like in the London version , where you're just kind of like seeing what the world is like , you can maybe , like you know , visit an old loved one . Just for the time being it's like one thing . But I think once it starts getting into like the triad aspect of it , of like taking technology from different universes , it totally changes the aspect and trajectory of your own and like what could have come . If you didn't have that technology , you could have created something entirely new that could have been way more beneficial than the technology you stole . But you kind of took that option away by like bringing something back that wasn't meant for you and your original goal .
Speaker 1Yeah , I don't know , because my desire , I feel like , would be to see the different dimensions , like a dimension where it is like there are no phones , because I have never lived in a world where there was not a cellular phone or a home phone or that type of device , so like just getting to experience something that I would never be able to experience . That is something that would interest me , but that is more . The setting like sticky , ethically , is when you're going for , like the person and other people , like that's to me , when it's a little more messy and , again , like you said , when you're taking stuff from that dimension .
Speaker 2Right , I don't know it's a weird one , so I will be curious to see how she kind of tackles these themes in the other two books I agree , so does that mean you're going to finish the trilogy ?
Speaker 2I think I will . I , the story intrigues me enough that I want to know . I want to know how she answers these questions , um , and I want to know what happens , like I want to learn more about Theo at this point now , yeah , and see , like , where that goes . And so I do . I think I'm going to , but it's not one of those I'm going to read consecutively , like I do need the little break just because of the writing style . I , I need some more . I don't know different writing within that . Yeah , what about you ?
Speaker 1I will finish it . I actually started the second one last night .
Speaker 2Nice Love it .
Speaker 1It's pretty good . I think you'll like it . Yeah , that's all I'm gonna say . Okay , because I also think I only read the first two books last time . So even originally when I read this trilogy , I didn't finish it .
Speaker 2I don't think so .
Speaker 1I definitely want to know . Yeah , I don't remember anything , especially the second book . I'm realizing I remember nothing except for one part , so I'm super curious to see what happens but , I , think I will read them back to back like I think I'm just gonna like knock . They're super quick books .
Speaker 2I feel , like .
Speaker 1So I just , I do just want to like , knock them out um and see the story .
Speaker 2Yeah , I did . I contemplated because they are such a quick read and it's like I just need it . But no , I need it a little . I need a little break between . I do that a lot . It's not even just this series . With other series too , I tend to break them up .
Speaker 1I like I don't go too long , because then you forget a bunch of things between I do that when it's a bigger series , um , but I think sometimes for trilogies I can do them back to back , but when it starts to become more than three books , or if it's like thick three books , and that's what , I'm gonna take a break yeah , that makes sense .
Speaker 2Yeah ,
Final Thoughts and Star Ratings
Speaker 2so final thoughts what are we thinking ?
Speaker 1my final thoughts were 3.7 stars . I do think the nostalgia of reading this as an adult now plays a large role in that , but it's just so fun . Like the different worlds and the different versions of oneself is so interesting . It's just like cool and different and of course I like think of myself , like how would I be ? So I liked it A solid 3.7 . I gave it a 2.7 just because I really went back and forth on it , even as we're talking about it now , I still.7 .
Speaker 2I gave it a 2.7 just because I really went back and forth on it . Even as we're talking about it now , I still have very mixed feelings about it for me . So I'm not going to beat a dead horse , but yeah , there's just a lot to contemplate on this book and I wasn't fully convinced . But the story was good , so yeah , solid 2.7 for me .
Speaker 1Well

In the quiet village of Caravu , maybe , vianne Mariac oh my gosh , I can't read the French in this book . Yeah , vianne Mariac says goodbye to her husband , antony , as he heads for the front .

Speaker 1When a german captain requisitions Vianne's home , she and her daughter must live with the enemy or lose everything , without food or money or hope . As danger escalates all around them , she is forced to make one impossible choice after another to keep her family alive . Vianne's sister , isabelle , is a rebellious 18-year-old searching for purpose with all the reckless passion of youth .

Speaker 2I'm so excited this book . I've seen a lot over like Instagram , tiktok not to the extent of like you know when a book goes like viral , but just it seems to be getting a lot of praise . It's one that's been on my list for a while . It's a historical fiction which I haven't read in a hot minute , so I'm super excited for this book .
Speaker 1Yeah , I've never really been a big historical fiction person , but I just don't think I've explored it .

Speaker 2What about
Borrows & Returns
Speaker 2books you are reading right now , when we get into borrows and returns oh , my borrows and returns , of course .
Speaker 1Well , my borrows , I'm still . I have not touched this book , but how to Win Friends and Influence People . I'm still reading that one .
Speaker 2It's so good .
Speaker 1It's a back burner book , One I am currently doing . Besides , the second trilogy book is Bride by Allie Hazelwood .
Speaker 2I've heard this one a lot recently .
Speaker 1Yeah , I actually hadn't heard it a lot by people and as soon as I started I'm doing an audiobook . Um , as soon as I started reading it , it's like popping up everywhere , interesting , it's pretty good . I do wish I had started it paperback and not audiobook , because I think I would be even more into it . Right , but I'm still very much into it audiobook wise , but I'm not paying as much attention . I think yeah , and I I wish I was , because it's it's really good .
Speaker 2I I like it a lot . I'll be curious to hear like your end thoughts , because that is one that it's been popping up a lot , but I know nothing about it other than just like a lot of people are reading this book and enjoying it yeah , the .
Speaker 1The premise is that it is in a land where I think it's a modern land , where there are humans that live there and then werewolves and vampires , but they all live in their own like territories .
Speaker 1Uh , so they're they're not friendly with each other , and so what they have decided to do is the like alpha of the werewolves , um , and then the like vampire king's daughter , essentially , um , or like someone high up in the vampire world , his daughter . They do kind of like , not like a forced marriage , but they like , agree to marry , like for their people , because it's like a sign of like , good faith , like we're not going to kill each other , like this is happening , um , but they don't know each other , and so they have all these stereotypes about each other and stuff like that Interesting .
Speaker 1So that one's that and it's really good . And then Returns . I finished House of Flame and Shadow and my gosh , so good . It feels so weird to be caught up on Sarah J Maas for so long . It was like , okay , there's another book . Like I don't want to look at certain things because I'm not sure , and it's like I am unbreakable , I can look at everything , nothing will be spoiled for me , because I've seen it all .
Speaker 1I've read it all so that's been really cool . But great book , great book . I'm not going to say much else because someone is reading it read it for my .
Speaker 2I'll start with my returns just because we're on the topic . So I did finish House of Sky and Breath by Sarah J Maas . Love that . That was wild toward at the end and , just as all of her books do , the last hundred pages are just crazy . I will say it's not my favorite of her series , but I didn't .
Speaker 2I was kind of expecting that going into it , I feel like it's more of like a connector series than anything , um , but I did still really enjoy the book . Um , I do think I'm gonna take a break before I read House of Flame and Shadow , because I kind of because that's the last one yeah , I want to spread it out a little , I want to save it and I'm like I don't blame you .
Speaker 2Even though it was like kind of a cliffhanger um not kind of a massive cliffhanger on Sky and Breath , I feel like I'm almost still kind of content to pause and like wait for that one a little bit at least , until there's another Sarah J Maas book coming in the foreseeable future that I can like look forward to after I finish .
Speaker 1I totally get that gonna wait on that one . Also real quick pause for Sarah J Maas talk . Have you seen ? There are a plethora of celebrities reading ACOTAR right now , really , yes , I know Megan Fox is reading it , and then there were a couple of others . She's just the only one that's coming to mind right now . And then Margot Robbie and her had that meeting . There's something going on .
Speaker 2Oh , absolutely there's something going on . It's one of those that you get so excited for . Is there an ACOTAR series coming to like TV like ? I would absolutely love that but at the same time , you're like and hate it .
Speaker 2Yeah , exactly , you love and hate it because you're like so excited you see that . But then you start thinking about it and you're like you have such an emotional connection to these characters that you've built in your head . But now you're about to see it built from somebody else , like is it even gonna hit the mark anymore ?
Speaker 1like are you gonna hate it ? Even if it's actors I absolutely love , they're not good enough . Right ? The , the best actor in the world , who I is my favorite , is not good enough to play any other characters , so it is .
Speaker 2It's one of those like I want it , but do I ? Yeah , I don't know .
Speaker 1Yeah time will tell . It'll still just be nice , if it does come to fruition , to see some of those visuals right like . Obviously we all think of the worm as like the spongebob . Yeah , and so it would be nice to like actually see , because like I can't envision a scary worm .
Speaker 2So it would be nice to see something like that well , especially if sarah herself is working really closely on production , because then obviously you know that she's signing off on things and it's more like what she envisioned while writing it . Yeah , that'll be kind of interesting , this scene , compared to like what you read . But yeah , reading such a personal experience , I don't know I agree time will tell , time will tell anyway , sorry , I couldn't no , you're good , what are you reading right ?
Speaker 2now I'm actually so I'm reading the anthropene Reviewed by John Green on audiobook . Okay , it's his only like nonfiction book that he's done so far . It's really interesting . It's more like a sociology , like how humans affect the world . I think it's kind of like what the Anthropocene is .
Speaker 2He explains it in the beginning of the book much better than I ever could , but kind of like touches on uh , explaining like what the anthropocene is , um , which is like , yeah , how humans and the world are like symbiotic relationship , like how we affect certain things , and then it's just a book of short essays about different topics . So he has that like scratch and sniff stickers , like his thoughts on scratch and sniff sticker stickers , but he weaves it into much greater detail , yeah , of how , like the essence of scratch and sniff stickers . It goes into like smell and how we like can , how we perceive like a banana smell isn't actually what a banana smells like , because it's like artificially and he makes it . I'm doing a horrible job of explaining .
Speaker 2I'm following I'm following but how he like he takes it into like deeper meanings and kind of like it's like the symbolism of it all , which I'm just like a huge sucker for . It's in a very john green-esque way . Um , he does some science on it where it's just like storytelling , but it connects to like a broader psychological , sociological , like idea of it like that and then at the end he like gives it a star rating review of like what his thoughts are on like this specific thing .
Speaker 2So some of them obviously are like horrible and others are like this is amazing , five stars kind of thing . So it's really cool , it's really interesting and I'm enjoying doing the audio . Um , and then the other book that I just started , but I'm only like 20 pages in , so I think I'm gonna put a pause and read our book club book first is Circe by Madeline Miller . She read one of my all-time or she wrote one of my all-time favorites , the Song of Achilles . So I'm love my Greek mythology . I'm like it's time to time to take a step back into that world . Um , and this one is like really got really good reviews , and so I'm like it's time to take a step back into that world , and this one is like really got really good reviews , and so I'm excited to kind of like jump into that one again . Yeah , and that's it . Those are my borrows and returns . I love that . Well , another great podcast , yeah .
