A love out of time. A spaceship built of secrets and murder.Seventeen-year-old Amy joins her parents as frozen cargo aboard the vast spaceship Godspeed and expects to awake on a new planet, three hundred years in the future. Never could she have known that her frozen slumber would come to an end fifty years too soon and that she would be thrust into a brave new world of a spaceship that lives by its own rules.Amy quickly realizes that her awakening was no mere computer malfunction. Someone—one of the few thousand inhabitants of the spaceship—tried to kill her. And if Amy doesn’t do something soon, her parents will be next.Now, Amy must race to unlock Godspeed’s hidden secrets. But out of her list of murder suspects, there’s only one who matters: Elder, the future leader of the ship and the love she could never have seen coming.
I had read a lot about this book, so I was expecting a lot. Was I disappointed? Yes, a little. Was it good? Yes, it was. The story is well written.  The plot is interesting. I may not usually like science fiction, but this one caught my attention. I found it hard at first to get into the book. Once I did, I couldn’t put it down.


You end up liking Elder and Amy, hating Eldest, and feeling confused about other characters. I don’t want to give any spoiler, so I will be short. This book is worth reading, even if you don’t really enjoy science fiction. Why? Because it is easy to forget that it is. It is about figuring out the truth. This is what matters (and of course, finding if something will happen between Elder and Amy.)


One of the thing that slightly annoyed me was that there are two narrator. I don't know why, but it bugged me. Still, once I got over that, I really enjoyed reading it.

I would totally recommend it. Good book, good story. It is to add to your list, because it probably isn't the last time you will hear about Beth Revis.
