RESEÑA: a thousand pieces of you DE claudia gray (firebird #1)
Marguerite no puede dejar que el hombre que destruyó a su familia esté en libertad, y ella corre después de Paul a través de diferentes universos, donde sus vidas se enredan cada vez más en caminos conocidos. Con cada encuentro, comienza a cuestionar la culpabilidad de Paul -y su propio corazón. Pronto ella descubre la verdad que se esconde detrás de la muerte de su padre, la cual es más siniestra de lo que jamás podría haber imaginado.
¿POR QUÉ DECIDÍ LEERLO?
Razón número uno: su portada. ¿Acaso no es hermosa? ¡Es preciosa! Segundo, me llamaba mucho la idea del libro. Viajar entre dimensiones... no es muy mi estilo, pero por algún razón me emocionaba leer este libro.
ESCRITURA
La escritura de Claudia Gray es veloz y ágil, completamente atrapante y se adiere de una manera perfecta y asombrosa a la voz de la protagonista. La voz de la narración es justo como la de una adolescente enojada y decidida, y Claudia Gray ha logrado adherirse a la voz de sus personajes muy bien.
También, como la protagonista es una artista, describe todos los paisajes y lo que la rodea como si fueran un cuadro. En los ojos de Marguerite, el atardecer no es sólo el momento en el que el sol desaparece en el horizonte, sino un ángulo preciso lleno de colores de acuarela. Marguerite describes sus alrededores como si estuviera hablando de una pintura; con ángulos, pinceladas y más. Creo que esto ha hecho la lectura mucho más interesante y hermosa y esta
forma de descripción embellece y favorece la historia.
PERSONAJES
A pesar de lo mucho que me gustaron los personajes, creo que son muy poco realistas. Quiero decir, sus diálogos son demasiado relajados para la situación en la que estaban. Ya saben, si estás a punto de exponerte a un peligro inmenso y viajar a través de dimensiones en busca del psicópata que asesinó a tu padre, no creo que tus palabras y conversaciones sean tan calmadas y relajadas. Creo que Claudia Gray no construyó a sus personajes debidamente; no llegamos a saber qué pasó en el pasado que los llevó a ser como son ahora ni nada de ese estilo, así que nada explica su comportamiento, lo cual los hace menos reales para el lector.
En cuanto al antagonista, la autora no nos muestra la imagen completa y nunca nos dicen qué motiva a este personaje ni qué justifica sus acciones. Nadie es malo sólo porque sí pero, en el caso de este libro, el antagonista lo era y esto resulta demasiado poco creíble.
CONCLUSIÓN
A Thousand Pieces of You de Claudia Gray es un libro asombroso, lleno de aventura y la pizca perfecta de romance. Aún así, creo que los personajes son muy poco creíbles y esto resulta frustrante durante toda la lectura.
¿Me gustó? ¡Mucho!

book review: A THOUSAND PIECES OF YOU by CLAUDIA GRAY (firebird #1)
SYNOPSIS: 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.
WHY DID I CHOOSE TO READ IT?
Firstly, its cover. Isn't it beautiful? Secondly, I was really hooked by this book's idea. Travelling between different dimesions... not really my style, but I was sill somehow hooked by the idea of it.
WRITING
Claudia Gray's writing is quick and completely catching. It sticks perfectly to the protagonist's voice! The narrators voice is just like the one of an angry, upsent and decisive teenager, and Claudia Gray has achieved this remarkably well.
In addition, as the protagonist is an artist, she describes every landscape and her surroundings as if they were a painting. In Marguerite's eyes, sunset isn't just the disappearance of the sun on the horizon, but a mizture of watercolors and precise angles. Marguerite describes her surroungdings as if she was talking about a painting, with specific angles, brush strokes and more. This has made the reading far more interesting and gorgeous as this kind of description makes the story so much better!
CHARACTERS
Although I deeply loved the characters, I think they were unreal. I mean, their dialogues were too relazed and calm compared to the situation they were facing. You know, if you're about to put yourself in a huge danger to travel through different dimensions looking for a freaking phycopath who murdered your father, you ain't supposed to be so calm!
I think Claudia Gray didn't build her characters properly as we don't get to know what happened in the past that made them be how they are now and justifies their actiones. This makes them unreal for the reader as well.
About the antagonist, the author doesn't show us the bigge rpicture and we're never told what moves this characters and what backs up his actions. No one is evil just because but, in this book, the antagonist is and this is also very unrealistic!
CONCLUSION
A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray is an amazing book, full of adventura and the perfect amount of romance! Still, I don't think the author made a good job when building and backing up her story.
