Chapter by Chapter review of A Million Suns

I was expecting so much from A Million Suns, the second installment of the Across The Universe trilogy by Beth Revis...and she did not disappoint.

In A Million Suns, we pick up three months later after Across The Universe. Similar problems, but now Elder, who is now leader, must face the people on Godspeed who are no longer under the influence of Phydus, thus allowing them all to be able to think for themselves. Good idea or bad, you'll see how this plays out throughout the pages of A Million Suns. On top of that, Elder and Amy are provided clues by a now frozen Orion who leads them on the hunt for clues that will uncover an ultimate secret that they and everyone else on Godspeed will never forget, and that will change the course of their lives...forever.

A Million Suns was a perfect follow up to Across The Universe. Revis has worked her magic again, and has allowed yet another glimpse into this futuristic dystopian world on Godspeed. I found the speed of this installment alot quicker than the last. There was a lot more action within the pages, which made it all the more difficult for me to put down. I was quickly absorbed again by the vast surroundings described in the book. Revis' writing style is so addictive and flows perfectly from page to page.

Again, we are treated with a different point of view for every chapter...that of Elder and of Amy. Some of the chapters were but a few lines/words which I felt really impacted the feel of the situation. A lot of the time, short was definitely sweet. I was, again, emotionally swept up in the different drama's going on throughout the book...sadness for Victria, hate/anger for Luthor and Bartie, love and frustration for Amy and Elder.

We also see a little bit more of the relationship between Amy and Elder in A Million Suns. What I really enjoyed about Across The Universe and A Million Suns was that the main focus was not about wanting or seeing Elder and Amy fall in love and live happily ever after (although there are a few smile/swoon worthy bits), but rather to read about the existence of an entire civilization, see the different problems that happen and to pretty much solve a mystery (or 2).

I devoured this book, as I did the first, and was very hesitant in finishing it. I was just not ready for this ride to end just yet. And when I did finally end my torture, I needed more! During a quick Twitter conversation, Revis had joked that she felt she should have included a warning label for the cliff hanger ending for A Million Suns, and after readingit...she totally should have! I was left with so many questions, and so many different scenarios floating around in my head about what could happen in Shades Of Earth, the third book of this series! I cannot WAIT to see what happens next!

If you were a fan of Aross The Universe, you will definitely want to pick up a copy of A Million Suns. You will not be disappointed, and you will be left wanting...!

Never a dull moment

I finished my copy last night and all I can say is. WOW!!! An amazing read, mouth dropping, speechless, non stop thrill ride.. There is never a dull moment and chapter 57 (i think that is the one) will have you on the edge and wanting more... Great job Beth Revis. Too bad and so sad that we have to wait another year for the finale book.. Can't wait.

Thanks but no thanks...

Across the Universe was disgusting and pathetic. There is no way that I am going to invest time into another book that has no depth, and repulses me. Sorry.

Epic read!

Okay, I admit. I was a bit skeptical picking up this book seeing as the first book was good but didn't really catch my attention as much as I wanted it to. Still, I wanted to read the next book just to see what happens. Ms. Revis, I tip my hat to you.You have not only single-handingly blew me away, but you totally caught me off guard with your amazing plot pacing!

What amazed me about this book is the great plot. Not only was I intrigued and drawn immediately to such an amazing world, but my heart pounded! I was so excited to be in Amy shoe's following clues to a dark secret hidden in the Godspeed. That's what got me hooked, the secret. The clues that Amy must find in order to enure survival. Ms. Revis pulls in her readers strongly with a temptation I could not resist. Did I find the secret? You bet I did.

The characters of the book were so awesome. They grown up so much and understand so much more. Both Elder and Amy rely on each other smarts as well as each other strength to get them through. I adored that in moment by themselves, they had a peace that no one could enter. That their love grew strongly no matter what was happen at that very moment. Ms. Revis built such a wonderful relationship for the reader to fall into. At every point of view switch, the reader is not confused or left behind. Instead, the reader is brought to a whole new level of reading. A level where the reader is the character and can see, feel everything they can.

A Million Suns is a phenomenally successful story that everyone should read. It is a timeless piece of friendship, love and lost. A Million Suns is a fantasy epic with undeniable victory in the writing. With a moving plot that knocks you off your feet, A Million Suns is a must read!

Hmmm

Ok i love this book...i especially love Eldet....but i jusy have to get this off my chest....i really just want to punch amy in the face ...i kind of really dislike her shes bratty and just stupid...there were times when i literally wanted to stop reading because Amy was just so frexing annoying! I really hope her parente die in the next book ot something because she just needs more going on

Other than that....the book is awesome...the rest of the characters are great and the whole situation on the ship is suspensful l....cant wait for the next one...dear god though pkease fix amy....just please.

Great

Great fallow up. She never disapoints.

This is an amazing book

this is an amazing series. cant wait for the last book

Love it!

Really good book. Well written.

Love it!

I cannot wait till the next book comes out! This book was just as amazing as the first! I highly recommend that if you like sci-fi books you must read this book.

Nail biting

Elder is now in charge of Godspeed. With Amy still in the line of danger she seeks the truth behind Orion's tactics. Elder is now faced with his people considering on thinking outside of the GODSPEED ways. Leavivng his people to make their own desicions causes extreme chaos. Amy goes on a hunt trying to piece all the clues together that Orion left for her to solve. What Elder and her discovers will change their lives forever. This was a great follow up to Across the Universe. Beth did an amazing job keeping us readers on edge and once she has you thinking one way she throws a curveball at you. Full of suspense!

Love it

I loved the first book and the second book dosnt disapoint

A-mazing!!!

I cant wait for book THREE!!! I believe we have to wait a whole entire year though... I love the next title too, SHADES OF EARTH-its really original...

I would rate this a million stars (or suns) if I could!

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.

THE BEST

I stayed up all night to finish it.I thought it was amazing me and my bf cant stop talking about what we think will happen in the next book :):)

A frexing good read!

Stars! How the frex am I supposed to wait another year to find out what happens with Amy and Elder?! *sighs* There's always pressure for an author to deliver a follow up book that's just as good if not better than the first and "A Million Suns" does not disappoint. This sequel has it all, action, adventure, romance, even a mystery to solve that could change the fate of everyone aboard the Godspeed. As Elder continues to solidify his role as Godspeed's new leader, he's met with resistance especially now that Phydus is no longer in use. The fact that there are many who view Amy as a threat doesn't help, and things only get more complicated after Elder uncovers a shocking secret, one that will have he and Amy searching for clues that could affect everyone on board. The more time they spend together, the less they're able to deny the feelings that are developing between them but Amy still questions. She believes love is a choice and wonders if she and Elder weren't the only two their age, if they both had a choice, would they still choose each other? Better yet, would she still choose Elder because, let's face it, we KNOW he'd choose her. (Personally, I think she needs to "choose" to stop frexing thinking so much.) As their search continues, becoming more dangerous at every turn, the ship goes into complete chaos. Frex! Will Amy and Elder be able to find the answers they need in time and at what cost? Trusts will be broken, loyalties questioned, lives lost and love tested, all for the sake of hope in a New Earth...a new beginning.
