Across the Universe

Across the Universe by Beth Revis

Book Description from Beth Revis' website

Seventeen-year-old Amy joins her parents as frozen cargo aboard the

vast spaceship Godspeed and expects to awake on a new planet, three

hundred years in the future. Never could she have known that her

frozen slumber would come to an end fifty years too soon and that she

would be thrust into a brave new world of a spaceship that lives by

its own rules.

Amy quickly realizes that her awakening was no mere computer

malfunction. Someone—one of the few thousand inhabitants of the

spaceship—tried to kill her. And if Amy doesn’t do something soon, her

parents will be next.

Now, Amy must race to unlock Godspeed’s hidden secrets. But out of her

list of murder suspects, there’s only one who matters: Elder, the

future leader of the ship and the love she could never have seen

coming.

Review:

I enjoyed this debut novel and look forward to the series. The

writing is wonderful and the story believable. I like how Amy and

Elder sturggle to learn the truth about Godspeed. Godspeed uses a

system ruled by Eldest, where one person is born ahead of the people

he'll lead to act as the commander and patriarch. He also prevents

discord adn preserve every living person on the ship.

Elder is struggling to understand about power and realizes the simple

truth that it isn't about control it's about having strength and

giving that to others. A leader isn't supposed to use force to make

him stronger, but a leader is a person who uses their strength to give

to others so that they may be strong enough to stand on their own.

If you are a fan of dystopian fiction then you'll enjoy this new

series and new author. I received this ARC free of charge from the

publisher, via Shelf Awareness for review.

Happy Reading!
