The back of the book says: Amy and her parents are cryogenically frozen passengers aboard the vast spaceship Godspeed. They have been led to believe they will wake upon on a new planet, 300 years in the future. But fifty years before Godspeed's scheduled landing, Amy is mysteriously unplugged from her cryo chamber, the near-victim of an attempted murder. Amy discovers an enclosed world where nothing makes sense, where Godspeed's passengers have forfeited all control to Eldest, a tyrannical and frightening leader, and Elder, his rebellious and brilliant teenage heir. Amy and Elder are instantly bonded. But can they trust each other? All Amy and Elder know is that they must discover Godspeed's hidden secrets before whoever woke Amy tries to kill again.
I enjoyed this book thoroughly. As someone who is intrigued by fantasy and sci-fi, but turned off by authors who get lost in the technical issues of their created worlds, this was right up my alley. There is enough background to help you see the setting, the people, and the story. The characters are well-drawn, and the dialogue smooth. Some elements might be a little predictable, but not unpleasantly so. There are surprises, and they make sense, as does the ending. Hopefully, Ms. Revis will gift us sooner rather than later with her next offering.
Thank you to Lorien Forrest for her review.
