Description: 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.
Review: A Million Suns by Beth Revis blasts off from the page
and will keep you reading until the very end.
As chaos
threatens Elder’s tentative rule over Godspeed, Amy grasps hold of a puzzle set
in motion by Orion to keep her fears at bay. But when the ship is plagued by
strange murders, Amy and Elder must unite to figure out what Orion was trying
to tell them and who is killing off citizens who don’t follow the leader. The
only thing they really know, though, is they have to get off this ship.
A Million Suns, to put it in their terms, is frexing brilly.
The plot is fast-paced, so the reader will be tearing through the pages as fast
as possible. Revis excels at creating tension in every chapter, on every page.
I felt like I was holding my breath the entire time I read it. Since this is
book two of the series, the characters are familiar, but we go deeper into
their psyche, their hopes, their fears. The mystery surrounding the ship and
people keeps readers of the edge of their seats. The romance is messy, awkward,
passionate, everything a teenage romance should be. The political undertones
and philosophy add another dimension to this novel very familiar to our own
times. I love how the reader can follow along with the clues in the main
mystery, although Revis keeps some surprises to the very end.
I’d give Beth
Revis’s A Million Suns a million
stars, if I could. I love this series in a “stand in line at midnight on
opening night at the movie theater” way.
