REVIEWS :I PRESENT: A REVIEW COMPRISED ENTIRELY OF GIFSThis is how I feel. I would like to do this to Beth Revis.This is what it's going to be like waiting for SHADES OF EARTH.When SHADES OF EARTH comes out, I'll be like this.Until SHADES OF EARTH comes out... Actual rating: 3.5 starsI've been really eager to read A Million Suns for a while now. I'm a Sci-Fi geek and I'm not afraid to admit that. (Hear that, Kennedy?! I'm owning that!) So I think, in a way, I am prone to getting swept away with this series. And just as with Across the Universe, I was immediately sucked into the story, walking around my house with my face glued to the book, sitting on the edge of my seat trying to figure out the mysteries surrounding Godspeed. Because if there is one It's been a while since I finished Across the Universe and gave it a mostly positive review. Since then, I have changed a lot, read many more books, and my expectations and standards have become higher. As more and more time has been put between my finishing Across the Universe and starting A Million Suns, I've been wondering if I would be quite so forgiving of some of the issues I had in the first book if I were to read it again now. You see, despite the pretty sparkly covers, it is the I feel like nothing of what I read in the first book matters. Discovering some of Orion’s secrets was important, but a lot of the revelations turned out to be either wrong or unimpressive.And yet, I still preferred the first book to this one. I loved the mystery, getting to know the characters and learning about the world-building, plus I found Amy’s inner thoughts lovely. In A MILLION SUNS, we realize that everything we’ve learned so far is incomplete or simply bad information.This book focuses One way to describe this book: forgettable. I think the story would have been way better if first two books were combined into one standalone novel and the third would have been cut out altogether. Only then do we get a complete story, with some character development and something that resembles a plot. I don't understand the need to stretch out a story over several different books just for the sake of having a trilogy. There is no trilogy material here. Why, Beth Revis, why? What I love the most about this book is the idea of it. Frozen people being transported to another planet, while others live on a spaceship and make sure it reaches the destination. I avoid sci-fi sometimes because I feel like they're dry, but this trilogy is not. I read Across the Universe a long time ago and dived in this book with only remembering the main plot and while I did enjoy it, I had many inconsistent thoughts about it. I'm not going into details since it's better to read this book 4.5 stars "And here we are, in the middle, surrounded by a sea of stars.A million stars." What an intriguing story.. in a way, even intriguingly sad.This book finds us right where the first one left us. Somewhere between Sol-Earth and Centauri-Earth, suspended in time and space.There is no more Phydus to control the people around the ship and they are quite out of control. People don’t work, people start to fight, they suffer from depression.They start having feelings, they start thinking for themselves Your universe changed with book one.Your heart stopped with book two.And now, it's time to go home.The journey is just beginning...Silence and Stars.A million things, a thousands feelings, hundreds of experiences, all melted together and sculpted into a book-shaped vessel.The people are finally off Phydus, and now, the ship's in chaos.Elder is now Eldest, the burden of responsibility weighed heavily on his shoulders.Riots and the uprising of people. Rebellion. Fighting. Depression. Death.Eldest Luthe and Orion here they come!!!From http://www.bethrevis.com/Q: Can you tell us anything about the sequels? Beth Revis: I can say this much about Book 2: It’s called A MILLION SUNS It takes place soon after ACROSS THE UNIVERSE It does still focus on Amy & Elder -ENDNice detail about the book isn't it? lolI LOVE THE TITLE thought! Holy shit. I love this series SO MUCH. Gonna start book three immediately bc I NEED TO OKAY. I can't wait to read about Elder taking the role of The Eldest,and ohhh man! I don't think they should relax with Orion still alive,and that Luthe guy has to be watched closely.______________________“Will you stay with me?” I whisper. “Always.”Elder & Amy Definitely better than the first book. Now that I know what to expect, this was fine. The writing and characters felt stronger than before, although I've been listening to this series on audiobook and the narrators were different so that could very well be due to them as opposed to the writing - I have a hard time separate writing from narration.The story itself was more interesting to me as well. This book had more of a mystery to solve with clues to follow. I enjoyed that aspect, but I did Quick Reaction: THIS BOOK WAS SO. FREXIN'. GOOD. I can't even-Goodness, this book, I-I mean, I-Well, I-The thing is, this-I CAN'T DO THIS. THIS IS TOO HARD. I LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH I WANT TO HUG THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE RIGHT NOW. I CANNOT TALK COHERENTLY. A masterpiece.There.Starred ReviewActual, full review: Original is here.
