gabieowleyess 's review for:

Shades of Earth by Beth Revis
4.0

Full Review from my blog Owl Eyes Reviews

I read Across the Universe, the first book in this series, in 2013.

I read A Million Suns, the second book in this trilogy, in 2014. Almost two years ago.

So, I went into this book wanting to be done with this series because I’ve been putting it off for so long.

That being said: OH MY GOD MY FEELS! WHY DO I HAVE SO MANY FEELS FOR THESE CHARACTERS, IT’S BEEN ALMOST TWO YEARS SINCE I’VE READ ABOUT THEM! MY HEEEEAAAART!!!

*clears throat* Okay, now my thoughts.

This book was mediocre for me up until about the halfway point. After the halfway point, I started reading like my life depended on it. Y’all know, I don’t do mystery, but I can do it with this series. The way it’s written just makes me care and want to know what’s going to happen. The first half of this book, I was so annoyed about all the anticipation, but it BLEW ME AWAY.

Towards the end of this book, I was fangirling like I have not fangirled in the longest time. I was screaming outwardly SCREAMING. It was so bad that my little brother, who was upstairs in his room with headphones on, came downstairs to ask if everything was okay. It was amazing.

In the end, this book was a pleasant surprise. I absolutely loved the experience it game me. I’m very happy with the way that this series ended.
