Goodreads Synopsis

 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.

 My Review:

“And here we are, in the middle, surrounded by a sea of stars.

A million suns.

Any of them could hold a planet. Any of them could hold a home.

But all of them are out of reach.”

This book is amazing. A Millions Suns, did not disappoint me in the slightest. I found myself so absorbed in this book, it was like an obsession, I just had to finish it. But now I’ve finished it, I feel quite sad, it's a whole year for the release of book three.

This one will definitely feature as one of my top five books of the year. Sheer awesomeness.

The story kicks off pretty much from where book one, Across The Universe, left off. It’s action packed and left me feeling quite exhilarated. It flowed all the way through. Beth Revis has a really nice writing style, one I’m very comfortable with.

This is definitely a series that you need to read in order, do not attempt to read a Million Suns before you have read Across The Universe, it will totally baffle you.

It was good to see more character development, there was certainly more depth to Amy and Elder. This book certainly gives you more to think about, all the characters have flaws, this is good as no one is perfect. There were some twists in the plot and I was certainly left guessing in places.

I highly recommend this book and suggest you rush out and get a copy now. Go on! What are you waiting for :D. It’s so frexing good!!

I’m no eagerly awaiting book three, which I believe is being published in January 2013. I will certainly be getting a copy as soon as it’s released. I really want to see what happens next!!

Story 5/5 – Ticked every box for me, I cannot fault this book.

Cover 5/5 – I love the colour scheme and it really does capture what the story is about.
