Godspeed was fueled by lies. Now it is ruled by chaos.

It's been three months since Amy was unplugged. The life she always knew is over. And everywhere she looks, she sees the walls of the spaceship Godspeed. But there may just be hope: Elder has assumed leadership of the ship. He's finally free to enact his vision - no more Phydus, no more lies.

But when Elder discovers shocking news about the ship, he and Amy race to discover the truth behind life on Godspeed. They must work together to unlock a puzzle that was set in motion hundreds of years earlier, unable to fight the romance that's growing between them and the chaos that threatens to tear them apart.

In book two of the Across the Universe trilogy, New York Times bestselling author Beth Revis mesmerizes us again with a brilliantly crafted mystery filled with action, suspense, romance, and deep philosophical questions. And this time it all builds to one mind-bending conclusion: They have to get off this ship. -quoted from Goodreads

Wow! What a fabulous sequel! Everything you thought you knew or thought you figured out in Across the Universe holds no bars when it comes to reading A Million Suns. Beth Revis not only surprised me with her numerous plot twists, and surprising revelations, she had me yelling "no way" numerous times through out the course of reading this book. Seriously, the plot twists continue to the very end of the book. If you loved Across the Universe, wait till you find yourself back on Godspeed in A Million Suns.

I don't even know where to begin my review. Beth's writing is brilliant, it's engaging, and boy do I wish I had the next book in my hands. The plot twists are so unpredictable, the revelations, the secrets and the betrayals are FABULOUS!! I couldn't have asked for a better sequel. It completely exceeded all my expectations. I loved every heart pounding moment I spent back in Amy and Elder's world. It's not just those sweet moments between the two of them that I enjoyed, but the fact that I could not figure out what was going to happen next. All the key players from ATU are back and wow, there's some startling discoveries with a few them that I never would have imagined possible.

Let me just say if you LOVED Across the Universe you need to go pick up this book today! I can not say anything else about this book with out giving away sort of spoilers, which I'm not about to do. I love Beth's writing. Her world building is incredible, her characters are well written and her plot line is flawless. She doesn't hold back on killing characters off, causing friction, an uprising, and putting her characters in positions that make them think outside the box. Through various events her characters learn to take charge of different and often times difficult situations which makes them grow into characters that I as a reader enjoyed seeing. This is a fast paced, thrilling sequel that I HIGHLY RECOMMEND picking up.

  1. I'd love to know when I'm FINALLY going to read Across the Universe. I mean, how many books does the series have to have before I pick it up? *lol*

    Awesome review! I'm convinced that I have to at least TRY AtU.
