Ten Thousand Skies Above You by Claudia Gray
5.0
First of all, can we just appreciate how beautiful that cover is?! I mean wow!
Second of all, WHAT IN THE WORLDS JUST HAPPENED?!
This book has been a roller coaster from start to finish! After reading the first book, I braced myself for whatever plot twist the author has in store for me in this book. And no matter how many times I told myself that I was ready, I WAS NOT. Those plot twists, whether they're big or small, made my heart wrench in a million different ways.
I really missed being in Marguerite's world (worlds). Jumping from one universe to another is exhilarating indeed (even if I'm only the reader haha!). I really liked how the author was able to show different sides and different personalities of each character in these different dimensions. I find that really interesting. Getting to know these characters all over again, trying to grasp what kind of person they are in that particular universe.
Also, I'm really impressed with the writing style; specifically, the way Marguerite handles people in a world she just knew for about an hour, and to somehow get information so subtly. I mean...
And...
She really is the perfect traveler.
The plot, of course, is really good. So many twists and turns. I have to put down the book and take a break because the information was too much. I could almost feel what Marguerite was feeling when she was confused and angry for finally knowing about the ugly truth.
And lastly, WOW THAT ENDING WAS FRUSTRATING.
I mean, that was such a mean cliffhanger! There are so many questions running through my head when I closed this book: What will happen to Marguerite? What happened to Theo? Where is he? Where's Paul? Who among the Conley's did it? WHAT'S HAPPENING? WHAT WILL HAPPEN?
And I was feeling so many emotions, too! Scared, shocked, worried, excited, but above all, I was frustrated.
What a way to end the second book. Now I don't know if I should immediately read the last book or not, because I feel so overwhelmed right now. A really good book though. Somehow, I liked it better than the first.

"You have to tell me everything."
As casually as possible, I ask, "What do you want for the highlight reel?"
And...
Paul chokes on his own words, then sits down heavily, too upset to notice my confusion.
Slowly, I say, "If you could do it over—without yelling this time—if we were back in that car, what would you tell me?"
