Mandiann and I will be reading A Million Suns (Across the Universe #2) by Beth Revis. Please join us :)

Synopsis:
Godspeed was once fueled by lies. Now it is ruled by chaos.

It’s been three months since Amy was unplugged. The life she always knew is over. Everywhere she looks, she sees the walls of the spaceship Godspeed.

But there may be hope: Elder has assumed leadership of the ship. He's finally free to act on his vision—no more Phydus, no more lies.

But when Elder learns shocking news about the ship, he and Amy race to discover the truth behind life on Godspeed. They must work together to unlock a mystery that was set in motion hundreds of years earlier. Their success—or failure—will determine the fate of the 2,298 passengers aboard Godspeed. But with each step, the journey becomes more perilous, the ship more chaotic, and the love between them more impossible to fight.

Beth Revis catapulted readers into the far reaches of space with her New York Times bestselling debut, Across the Universe. In A Million Suns, Beth deepens the mystery with action, suspense, romance, and deep philosophical questions. And this time it all builds to one mind-bending conclusion: They have to get off this ship.

Cant wait! Book one was so good.

Me either! :D

Enjoy!!! I loved this series and personally think it got better with each book :)

I have to agree with you, David :) My most favorite sci-fi :)

Awesome, I love hearing about other people that enjoyed this series as much as me :)

I am about 1/3 done, at the beginning of chapter 3.

Elder (view spoiler)[ seems to have good intentions but no idea of how to lead. It would be really nice if the older generation tried to help him a bit more and if he were more inclined to listen to them (hide spoiler)]

Amy (view spoiler)[ how hard it must be to be the only on who knows what the world outside is like (hide spoiler)]

Orion (view spoiler)[ I wonder if they will wake him or anyone else up before the book is over. What an elaborate scavenger hunt he has set for Amy! (hide spoiler)]

Godspeed(view spoiler)[ wouldn't it be funny if the ship is stopped but orbiting the planet they are aiming for, Centuri Earth? (hide spoiler)]

On chapter 61.

Saboteur (view spoiler)[ I suspect Doc. (hide spoiler)]

Centuri Earth (view spoiler)[ orbiting around it! Called it! I wonder why the ship cut off communications with Sol Earth and why they didn't land when they first arrived. What could be down there that is so horrible? (hide spoiler)]

I'm almost a third done, sorry for taking so long!


Elder (view spoiler)[Yes he does and I agree, I wish they would help him instead of expecting him to do everything, but then again they were pretty much raised as brainless people. But it would be nice if he'd listen to people more. (hide spoiler)]

Amy (view spoiler)[Yes! And that no one believes her ever since Eldest told the lie that she was a freak. (hide spoiler)]

Orion (view spoiler)[It was said that they plan to wait until/if they land to wake him so that those who are frozen can be the ones to judge him and I hope that's what they stick to doing.

I know! It so crazy! I still don't know what's the reasoning behind it, but I don't understand why he wouldn't just tell her all in the one video instead of having her search for all these clues. As now with the one missing they are sort of stumped as to where to go search next. Hopefully the painting will be with Harley's parents, but if it's not I wonder who took it??? (hide spoiler)]

Godspeed (view spoiler)[That would be crazy! If they have been that close for all these years and haven't bothered to search for a solution to the engine problem how ridiculous will they feel that they didn't. And all those people that were killed because they were starting to remember, they could have lived a full life! (hide spoiler)]

Other thoughts (view spoiler)[I'm really hoping something will be done to stop Luthor, he's just so horrible!

I wonder if Kayleigh was murdered, she probably wasn't but you'd think she'd wouldn't want to drown with all the different med patches available. And how sad that Harley was the one to find her! I felt so badly for him!

As much as it sounds that Amy has pulled her parents out of their chambers and their starting to melt, you'd think that wouldn't be good for them and that someone would tell her. I could see a quick peek at them but to keep them out so long that they begin to melt...I just can't see that being good. (hide spoiler)]

I finished last night. Such a great book. The ending was fabulous.

Centuri Earth (view spoiler)[ I look forward to finding out what sorts of dangers and monsters exist on Centuri Earth in book 3. (hide spoiler)]

Godspeed (view spoiler)[ wow I was shocked when the population split and that many people decided to remain on board the ship instead of risking going to the planet. I wonder if book three will only follow the people heading to Centuri Earth or if it will follow both groups. (hide spoiler)]

Finished yesterday. I loved this book just as much as the first one but it definitely had a different feel to it. I agree the ending was great!

Saboteur (view spoiler)[You got this one right too! I didn't suspect Doc of being the one, I thought it might have been Luthor or Bartie, so I was very surprised when it turned out to be Doc! (hide spoiler)]

Centuri Earth (view spoiler)[Yes you did! Great call! I thought they might be close, maybe a few months to a year away, but I was shocked when they were orbiting it and have been for generations!

I'm curious what could be so terrible that they didn't land. What I don't understand is why previous leaders didn't keep all the information about the probes readily available for the next leader. Why keep it so secret?

I do too! I'm hoping to start it very soon :) (hide spoiler)]

Godspeed (view spoiler)[I was too! I thought maybe a small number would choose to stay but a third of the ship - no didn't see that coming! I'm curious if it will cover both groups or not too - though it will probably only follow the one going to Centuri-Earth. (hide spoiler)]

Other thoughts (view spoiler)[I'm surprised we didn't learn who was responsible for killing Luthor. I wonder if that will be covered in the next book or if when Amy sent him to the stars it meant that we wouldn't know who killed him.

So I was right about Kayleigh being murdered. Eldest really was so terrible, I kind of forgot since he really wasn't in this book but just reading that he killed her because she discovered the hatch made me so mad again with him!

It's funny how they decided to split the bad guys up and so the group going to the planet is taking Orion with them. I wonder if he'll be different was he wakes up, if once they arrive on the planet things aren't as bad as they thought, but he probably won't be as he's so sure that the frozens will use them (the people from the ship) as slaves/forced soldiers.
