A review by whatcanisay77
Across the Universe by Beth Revis

3.0

Um. Wow. Just wow.

There were so many twists throughout this book, and most of them were unpredictable. I found the bit about Orion pretty predictable, but the rest was well-done.

I liked Amy, but she came across as incredibly weak sometimes. She was a little whiny, but overall, I think she was a strong lead. I liked Elder as well. Honestly, the only issue that I had with him was that he instaloved Amy. Like, from the one time he saw her frozen.... Mmm romantic. There was no build up. He saw her, went "I wanna spend the rest of my life with this girl", and BOOM one-sided sparks flew. One-sided because there is some serious friendzoning goin on. I HATED Eldest. When... The ending happened I was like, "It's 'bout dang time." I thought Orion was predictable, but gave me the creeps anyway, so I didn't like him. And I loved Hardley. His whole story was so sad and sweet. I miss his character already.

I liked to dual POVS. It was captivating, and well-written. Also, these covers are pretty darn gorgeous in a confusing, "what the heck is that?" kinda way.

UM, THE ENDING. THAT ENDING. UM. NO. I love cliffhangers as much as the next person, but Beth Revis might as well have ended her book in the middle of a sentence for all the wrap up that we got. IT WAS KILLER.

BOOK TWO NOW, PLEASE.
