About this listen
A thousand lives.
A thousand possibilities.
One fate.
Marguerite Caine grew up surrounded by cutting-edge scientific theories, thanks to her brilliant physicist parents. Yet nothing is more astounding than her mother's latest invention - a device called the Firebird, which allows people to leap into alternate dimensions.
When Marguerite's father is murdered, all the evidence points to one person - Paul, her parents' enigmatic star student. Before the law can touch him, Paul escapes into another dimension, having committed what seems like the perfect crime. But he didn't count on Marguerite. She doesn't know if she can kill a man, but she's going to find out.
With the help of another physics student, Theo, Marguerite chases Paul through various dimensions. In each new world Marguerite leaps to, she meets another version of Paul that has her doubting his guilt and questioning her heart. Is she doomed to repeat the same betrayal?
As Marguerite races through these wildly different lives - a grand duchess in a Tsarist Russia, a club-hopping orphan in a futuristic London, a refugee from worldwide flooding on a station in the heart of the ocean - she is swept into an epic love affair as dangerous as it is irresistible.

Engaging story & great narrator
If you hate a book that takes a long time to get into the action then this is for you. I listened to the audiobook and had to double check I hadn’t accidentally started it midway through because the first chapter literally puts you smack bang in the action. Then you then get all the back story gradually as the story goes on through the main character remembering back. I really enjoyed this as I was hooked straight away. The theme of the book is inter dimensional travel, and so the main character enters different dimensions, which allows you to see different versions of all the other characters, which was pretty cool!
The romance theme is also pretty important to the storyline, but didn’t feel overly sappy or anything. The main is not perfect, so sometimes I found myself annoyed that she did or didn’t do something, but that’s part of writing a realistic character, so I think the author has done a great job there.
Overall I really enjoyed this book and thoroughly recommend.
Audiobook comment: The narrator for this is really great! I generally don’t love female narrators, but this one was an exception. She had great expression and no annoying pronunciations. She used different voices for the characters too, and these were really consistent, it made it so much more enjoyable to follow and it really added to the personality of the characters.

The MULTIVERSE
A great book by Claudia Gray, Brilliantly Narrated by Tania Gilbert. I love how we can find more and more books about The Multiverse in the past 15 - 20 years.
Claudia Gray’s gift of writing such wonderful works was enough for me to finish the Book in two sittings. Totally recommended to anyone with an interest in Multiverse Theory. Slight similarities to “The Midnight Library” by Matt Haig. Now straight onto the Sequel “Ten Thousand Skies Above You”

Wonderful voice performance!!
One of the most unique stories I have encountered in a long time. Jumps from scene to scene; each as beautiful and intricate as the last. Highly recommend this series.
The narrator (Tavia Gilbert) does an astounding job. Different accents and rapid changes of tone are done flawlessly. Have a listen for yourself!

Enjoyable story with an original concept
The story starts quickly and you're immediately thrown into the thick of it, so I can safely say there's never really a boring moment. The characters are likable and the way the characters act and evolve seems rather realistic and relatable. The only drawback is that there are probably a few contradictions and plot holes in the story, but still looking forward to the next book in the series.
