Amy is a cryogenically frozen passenger aboard the vast spaceship Godspeed. She expects to awaken on a new planet, 300 years in the future. But fifty years before Godspeed's scheduled landing, Amy's cryo chamber is unplugged, and she is nearly killed.
Now, Amy is caught inside an enclosed world where nothing makes sense. Godspeed's passengers have forfeited all control to Eldest, a tyrannical and frightening leader, and Elder, his rebellious and brilliant teenage heir.
Amy desperately wants to trust Elder. But should she? All she knows is that she must race to unlock Godspeed's hidden secrets before whoever woke her tries to kill again. ~ Summary from bn.com
I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
This is in fact probably the only Semi Sci-fi book I will ever read, despite the fact I absolutely LOVED it.
It got pretty angsty and dramatic at some points, really depressing at others. There were so many emotions flying around in a world where there aren't supposed to be any. It was awesome.
Wanna know what I found ironic though, Amy was nonessential cargo on the ship. But yet, she's pretty much the most essential person on the Godspeed besides Elder. Irony, gotta love it. And how the people in the mental patient ward were the only sane ones?
But what I didn't get was why Amy NEVER told Elder about what Luthe tried to do to her... I get that Amy was really upset about that, I mean she had EVERY right to be, but why didn't Elder push the envelope on that?... Yeah, you won't get that lil' drabble until you READ THE BOOK! Which all of you should of course. :)
