This was a really fantastic book, and not something I
usually read.
Elder, the heir to the ruler of the Godspeed, is your typical rebellious teen, albeit one of
status. He is learning about the inner
workings of the ship and what caused fighting and chaos on Sol-Earth. Slated to become the next leader of these
people who are to inhabit Centauri-Earth, this education is incredibly
important.
Amy has decided to follow her parents and become
cryogenically frozen, to be awakened in 300 years on Centauri-Earth. Her parents are essential to the
mission…Amy…not so much. When she is
violently awoken 50 years ahead of schedule, the current leader, Eldest, doesn’t
hesitate to threaten death on Amy, unnecessary, excess cargo who wouldn’t be
missed. Elder however, has taken a
liking to Amy because of her absolute difference.
Together, Elder and Amy try to figure out who is attempting
to murder the other cryo-frozens. At
their every step, it seems that Elder and Amy are running into more shady
business with Eldest and Doc, as well as the other people on Godspeed.
The story contained in Across the Universe is
unforgettable. It’s so twisty and
mysterious. The fact that the story is
so…scientifically founded, but also blended with glorious fiction and just
enough variables to make something of a mystery too, that I couldn’t put it
down! I was so enthralled with the
character and the adventure that it was actually hard to get my attention away
from it.
I highly encourage this read. It has a rich plot with many devices that
really added to its depth and its overall appeal to a reader like me. I hope that if you pick it up, you truly
enjoy it as much as I did!
Teaser Quote: “I want to take her into my arms and hold her tight. But at the same time, I know that is the exact opposite of what she wants. She wants to be free, and all I want is to hold her tight against me."-Elder
