Content warning: Rape UGH. So I bought this book without knowing really what it was about. Recently I read that there are some problematic elements in the book so I thought I'd read it because if it's really gross I don't want it hanging around in my house. (ETA: It's really gross. Don't read this...

Spaceships and conspiracies, oh my! Right after reading this book I thought I liked it a lot. A couple of weeks later and I have sort of a bad taste in my mouth. I don't know why. This book has elements of a lot of other science fiction in it. The premise is like The Last Hour of Gann with humans s...

DNF at 43% after 10 days of reading.This was a little too much sci-fi for me. I read books for the romance and after 164 (43%) pages, apart from Elder liking Amy and getting jealous over his friend's interaction with her, there wasn't any. It was mainly about the ship and its running and how Amy was...

Bored.That's how I describe myself throughout this book. It was a bit of a pain to get through to the end (oh look, I've been reading it since July) but I finally finished it. And there's not a lot to say.I feel like this was really popular when I was younger, and I see how it would have appealed to...

I am shocked by how much I liked this book. I read an author Q & A around the release date and thought the premise sounded good. It would probably be a quick read and if it was bad, I'd stop reading.It was not bad.You can read the summary above but basically there is a ship living in a fairly dystop...

I realized after reading this that the two dark shapes are peoples faces. I thought that they were just two dark masses. After realizing that, I thought that the cover was even more beautiful. I was worried that I not like this book because there were a lot of science fiction elements in it, but I...

I wasn’t really sure what to expect when I started reading this book. I’d seen a lot of mixed reviews about it and, to start with, I really wasn’t sure if I was going to enjoy the book. However, by the time I finished it I found that I did really like this book. It tells the story of Amy who is froz...

Dystopia becomes concentrated on a generation ship. Amy is mistakenly woken up from cryogenic sleep to a strange society still a long way from a new planet. It's creepy and interesting and a little bit over the top. I preferred the female narrative voice to the male, but I still liked the effect ...

Amy and her family get frozen and put onto a spaceship that is meant to populate the “new earth”. It will take the ship 300 years to arrive at the new planet, so when Amy is unfrozen and almost killed only 250 years into the journey, she must learn to adjust to this new life and find out who tried t...
