A Million Suns: Sequel to Across the Universe

** SPOILER**

I’m now reading A Million Suns by Beth Revis; it’s the sequel to Across the Universe. It’s still in Elder’s and Amy’s point of views. So far in the book I can see that Elder has taken over Eldest’s spot after Eldest died because Elder dumped the modified water on Eldest. This made Eldest relax, but too relaxed which killed him. Elder found out before he killed Eldest that he was a clone and never had a mom or dad, that’s why he looks so much like Orion (which Elder thought was his father). Even though Elder is now the new Eldest he still wants to be called Elder. Amy is still on the ship with Elder and their connection seems even stronger after all that’s happened. Elder telling Amy the truth that he unplugged her from her cyro chamber, Harley floating out into space (wanting to be free) and unraveling the lies and secrets of the ship that Eldest told Elder. Elder seems unsure of his actions, but sometimes shows that he’s in control and can do the same or more better job than Eldest did before he died (p.4). Amy though is also having trouble being the odd one out in the ship, without her parents and only Elder there to lean upon now (p.8). But I also think that the thing that hurt Amy the most was Elder telling her that it was him who opened her cyro chamber, she was the closest person she knew on the ship and she’ll always have that memory that she was taken out trying to survive in the cyro chamber, understanding that she’ll be living in a spaceship and maybe never be held by her parents again because of him.
