This is the third and final book in the amazing trilogy by Beth Revis. Set in space, in the future on a generation space ship as it sets out to colonize a new planet. I cannot even begin to review this book without spoilers for the first two so please read the first two before reading this. All I will say is that it is a very good series, full of plotting and conspiracies and other great things. I think fans of Firefly would appreciate these books. (This would be the place to stop reading, if you want to avoid spoilers.)
Amy and Elder are finally getting (at least most of) the people of Godspeed to the surface of the planet. With the Orion's warnings about monsters fresh in their minds, they wonder what awaits them on this new planet. Orion's warnings about the people of Godspeed being made into either slaves or soldiers by the "frozens" is also fresh in Elder's mind...The dynamic between the people of earth and the people of Godspeed is very interesting and so, so stressful. "Just get along, you idiots!" my brain was yelling, "there are monsters and poisonous flowers to worry about!" This series is great not just on a science fiction level, but a sociological and cultural level. What happens to people when you put them in these situations? How does it effect how they see each other and themselves? How do you control them, should you control them? Good stuff.
Recommened for: fans of SciFi, like Firefly/Serenity, sociology majors, YA fans in general
The Series
Across the Universe
A Million Suns
Shades of Earth
*Oh my, the previous book I reviewed was the second in this series? How did that happen? I definitely read book inbetween these two. Like The Selection by Kiera Cass, which was great, and I breezed through in about two sittings.
