Goodreads Synopsis:Godspeed was once fueled by lies. Now it is ruled by chaos. It’s been three months. In that time, Amy has learned to hide who she is. Elder is trying to be the leader he’s always wanted to be. But as the ship gets more and more out of control, only one thing is certain: They have to get off the ship.

My Review:

A Million Suns picks up right where Across The Universe ends. We're on the ship Godspeed and we're re-introduced to Amy and Elder. In Beth Revis's second installment of her sci-fi trilogy, Amy and Elder are much more mature, and they ought to be with what they have been left with. Elder, the leader of the ship finds out so much about the ship and previous leaders while Amy now, more than ever is the freak on the ship and has her safety to continue to look out for. The dynamic alone between Amy and Elder is enough to keep the story moving.

A lot has happened since book one and I know readers had a lot of questions (I sure did after reading the first book) and A Million Suns answers some of these for us. Though we have been awared with many more questions that will hopefully be answered in book 3.
There's not much I can say about A Million Suns without giving things away and I definitely don't want to spoil this for anyone. Once again, Revis's writing is phenomenal. She can paint such a clear picture and writes her story with so much detail it's like we're there, part of the ship. Add to this, Revis has included a set of riddles that Amy needs to figure out, and trust me, she won't be the only one picking their brain to find the answer.

So much happens in A Million Suns, we meet new characters, we see the plot thickening and we are introduced to some new mind-bending mysteries. Overall, A Million Suns is a great addtion to the Across The Universe series. Even if you are not a Sci-fi reader, you will throughly enjoy this series, and if you read Across The Universe and haven't picked this one up yet, I highly recommend you do.

A Million Suns by Beth Revis

Goodreads has the synopsis of A Million Suns by Beth Revis, and now I am even more excited about this book!

Enjoy...

When Elder learns harrowing news about the space ship Godspeed, he and Amy must work together to unlock a puzzle that was set in motion hundreds of years earlier, all the while dealing with the romance that’s growing between them and the chaos that threatens to tear them apart. It all boils down to one mind-bending conclusion: They have to get off this ship.






I mean, Really?! One mind-bending conclusion? - to get off the ship?! How awesome does that sound? I can already picture it...a fast -paced, high intensity, twisting and turning kind of book! January 2012 can not come any faster!

From Ash to Nash

I've recently had the chance to read The Near Witch by Victoria Schwab, and let me tell you that I loved it! (You can check out my review here) As soon as I read it and posted my review, I wanted to find out more about Victoria - not in the stalker kind of way - just some friendly knowledge is what I wanted. And I came across this Ash to Nash Tour that she's participating in.

3 Authors

8 Cities

From Ashville

To Nashville

Now I live in Canada, and unfortunately will not be able to attend to any spots on this tour, but I wanted to do my part and get the word out! Not only is Victoria Schwab on this tour, but Beth Revis, author of Across The Universe and Myra McEntire, author of Hourglass will be part, too!
Wow! I've read Beth's AtU (review here), and I absolutely loved this book too. Though I haven't had to chance to read Hourglass, it's on my list to read soon! Such a great team of authors.

You can go to the website that has all of the information you need, and even enter to win some pretty amazing stuff! Anyone who is lucky enough to meet them, I'm jealous and have fun!

Cover Reveal!

I know that these photos have been circulating the net for some time now, but with Summer Vaction starting and such, I haven't had much blogging time. So I'm sneaking a in post quickly now (between watching the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows World Premiere and housework)!

Three books that I'm really looking forward to reading! And look at the covers - they are pretty gorgeous aren't they?
