"Godspeed was once 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. Everywhere she looks, she sees the walls of the spaceship Godspeed.
But there may be hope: Elder has assumed leadership of the ship. He's finally free to act on his vision- no more Phydus, no more lies.
But when Elder learns shocking news about the ship, he and Amy race to discover the truth behind life on Godspeed. They must work together to unlock a mystery that was set in motion hundreds of years earlier. Their success- or failure- will determine the fate of the 2,298 passengers aboard Godspeed. But with each step, the journey becomes more perilous, the ship more chaotic, and the love between them more impossible to fight.
Beth Revis catapulted readers into the far reaches of space with her New York Times bestselling debut, Across the Universe. In A Million Suns, Beth deepens the mystery 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 Rating: 4/5
I'm gonna be clear, this is a fast-paced, young adult science fiction book.... that was written in 2012. So if you are a twenty-something like me still reading through your tbr from when you were 18 you might know what I mean by this. And that would be the fact that there is a somewhat uninteresting romance in her. I get what the author was doing, I understand it was very standard for the time, but god damn do I not care about the romance in this. The rest of this book though is fascinating. The mystery aspects, the dual p.o.v. the different atmosphere changes within the ship itself, and the author's ability to keep the reader entertained throughout. I look forward to completing this series soon and would recommend it as a fun science fiction read to people who long for the 2012 nostalgia in their YA.
Thanks for reading,
Sidny
