Across the Universe (Series)

Let's go on an adventure through space and explore a new planet. Beth Revis is known to have written a book trilogy, with book 1 titled Across the universe, book 2 titled Million Suns, and lastly book 3 titled Shades of Earth. I believe The theme of this series is how lies are always easy, when the truth is too hard to handle.

This trilogy is mainly about a teenaged girl named Amy, and a teenaged boy named Elder (along with many others) on a ship called Godspeed sent on a mission from Earth to explore and exploit a new uninhabited planet (survivable) named Centauri-Earth. Amy is a passenger cryogenically frozen leaving her old life on Earth behind in order to Join her parents (Robert and Maria) on the mission to the new world. Amy is scheduled to land in 300 hundred years, but fifty years later she is violently woken up from her death like sleep. Now Amy is living in life inside the a ship where nothing makes sense, Amy is now living alongside 2,312 passengers who never have never seen a life outside the ship's cold metal walls. The main characters of this story are, Amy, Elder, Maria, Robert, Orion, and finally Eldest. Eldest is the tyrannical and frightening ruler aboard Godspeed. The main conflict in all three books are lies and secrets.

I have really enjoyed reading this series because I felt like pulled me into story, I also felt that it was well written and very interesting. I highly recommend these books to anyone who seek adventure. This story is a trip worth taking. Join Amy and Elder on a journey Across the Universe.
