Godspeed was 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. And everywhere she looks, she sees the walls of the spaceship Godspeed. But there may just be hope: Elder has assumed leadership of the ship. He's finally free to enact his vision - no more Phydus, no more lies.

But when Elder discovers shocking news about the ship, he and Amy race to discover the truth behind life on Godspeed. They must work together to unlock a puzzle that was set in motion hundreds of years earlier, unable to fight the romance that's growing between them and the chaos that threatens to tear them apart.

In book two of the Across the Universe trilogy, New York Times bestselling author Beth Revis mesmerizes us again with a brilliantly crafted mystery filled 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.

Oh FREX that was amazing! I just love the way they say frex throughout the book!

Elder has been trying so hard to lead the ship. The people are off phydus and finally know the truth. They are rebelling, not working, suicidal, and fighting him every decision he makes. They are learning about war and rebellions and want a chance to elect a leader. Then some people start showing up dead, with the words follow the leader written on them. Elder must find a way to fix the engines, control the people, and stop the new murderer.

Elder is still desperately in love with Amy. It is so cute and really refreshing to finally have the guy chasing the girl. Elder apologizes constantly and does everything he can to make Amy happy. Amy likes and cares for Elder but just feels like the choice is taken away from her. She feels like she is only considering being with Elder because there is no one else. It also doesn't help that every time they begin to grow closer, Elder is com-linked and has to run off to fix another disaster on the ship. But their scenes are really sweet and I love them together. They definitely do grow as characters and as a couple.

Orion also left behind clues for Amy to follow. He wants her to discover what is truly wrong with the ship and why they haven't reached the new planet yet. Since she is the only one to have ever been on both a planet and Godspeed, he believes she can make the right decision for everyone. Amy follows the trail and we find out a lot of new shocks and surprises about the ship and new planet. I really can't say more because it is just a fun and crazy ride while everything unfolds. I loved this one as much as the last one. Lots of action and I really loved the developments that continued with the ship and it's people. A bunch of the questions I was left with in the last book were answered in this one. A big cliffhanger that is seriously going to kill me waiting for the last book!

"Choice or no, my heart is his."

"But Amy," Elder says. "Space suits!"

"What the frex happened?!"

Rating: 5/5 Stars!
