My Thoughts: Across the Universe is about 400 pages long but it feels much less because of short alternating chapters written from Amy and Elder’s points of view, which is combined with a fast-paced plot. But should she? All she knows is that she must race to unlock Godspeed‘s hidden secrets before whoever woke her tries to kill again.” Godspeed‘s passengers have forfeited all control to Eldest, a tyrannical and frightening leader, and Elder, his rebellious and brilliant teenage heir. Now, Amy is caught inside an enclosed world where nothing makes sense. But fifty years before Godspeed’s scheduled landing, Amy’s cryo chamber is unplugged, and she is nearly killed. She expects to wake up on a new planet, 300 years in the future. The Premise: From the blurb: “Amy is a cryogenically frozen passenger aboard the vast spaceship Godspeed. I know that reading the excerpt is what sold me, although I do admit that the pretty cover also helped (I am a sucker for a starry backdrop). She highlighted Across the Universe as a dystopian YA book to look out for in this post, and she included a link to the excerpt of the first chapter. I might be Presenting Lenore when she had her Dystopian week. My memory is going because I can’t remember the first blog that introduced me to this book. This is a review for an ARC I received from the publisher after requesting it.
