What could be out there, and what do they have against the newly arrived humans?Īs Amy and Elder search for answers, they must also reevaluate their roles in this new home. Something that is determined to destroy the new inhabitants. Oddly sophisticated ruins provide shelter for Centauri-Earth’s newest residents, but who created these dwellings (that seem to be ideal for human settlements)? There’s something–or someone–else in this strange new world. Beautiful flowers emit toxins that render humans comatose. Large, reptilian birds roam the skies seeking prey to devour. But no one is really prepared for what awaits them on this strange and often frightening new planet. They–along with the frozens and shipborns willing to accompany them–are about to make a home on Centauri-Earth. I won’t go so far as to tell you what happens at the end, but I think a lot of readers will be hoping for even more from the characters we’ve come to care for in this series.Īmy and Elder are no longer within the walls of Godspeed. There was definitely a sense of closure when I read the final words, but what happened at the end opened up a whole new set of questions for me. I guess the big question is this: Am I satisfied with how things ended? The short answer to this question is yes. It was action-packed, it introduced some intriguing new (and not-so-new) characters, it addressed some societal issues we’re currently facing today (without being too preachy), there was lots of death and stuff blowing up, and, of course, the complicated relationship between Amy and Elder was further explored. While I’m sad that this journey is over, this finale, like the two books that preceded it, was nothing short of stellar. I just finished reading the last book in this trilogy, and I will spoil things for you if you’re not caught up!Īs you’ve gathered by the oh-so-subtle warning above, I’ve finally finished Shades of Earth, the final book in Beth Revis’ Across the Universe trilogy. Warning! Read Across the Universe and A Million Suns by Beth Revis before proceeding.
