A Million Suns (Beth Revis)

****

Sequel to Across the Universe

         It has been three months since Amy woke up and almost died in the cargo hold of the spaceship, Godspeed.  In that time, she met a boy named Elder, stopped other "frozens" from being killed, and created a revolution on the ship.  Now, she's trying to keep her head down in a place where nearly everybody hates her.  Amy wishes she could go back to her old life - or at least wake up her parents, who are still cryogenically frozen - but she can't.  Her only hope is to figure out why Godspeed isn't approaching its final destination.  Meanwhile, Elder is leading the ship, but things aren't going half as well as he had hoped.  Amy is about to give up when she discovers a series of clues that promise to solve all of her problems.  As things on Godspeed spiral out of control, it is up to Amy to find a way off of the ship before everything collapses.

         A Million Suns was a satisfying sequel to Across the Universe.  I was a little worried that round two wouldn't be as good as round one, but luckily Beth Revis succeeded in writing another really good book.
The plot was interesting, and there were twists that I definitely did not expect.  Revis did a particularly good job of hiding the outcome - I had my guesses, but it wasn't so predictable that I could guess correctly.  The unpredictability made A Million Suns an enjoyable read for me.
