This book is a perfect combination of mystery, suspense, and love. By just looking at the cover, one might assume that it's just a typical young adult novel, but once they read the first page, they can see that they're completely wrong. The novel is about a new space adventure that is intended on taking the human population to a new planet, but has a huge plot twist that turns the whole adventure into something different. When one of the girls wakes up and falls in love with one of the guys on the space ship, the adventure turns into something completely different that just really makes you want to keep reading. This book is so amazing and just makes you want to never stop reading and see what happens to the main characters.
You cab figure out the murder mystery without much effort at all but the characters are dealing with sufficiently heavy and awful stuff. From the first chapter, even if Amy is a rather bland (though often angry) character, I found myself empathizing with her after the emotional introduction. Elder grew on me over time. Eldest is a very clear kind if villain, not a President Snow figure, though occupying essentially the same position. But the world is compelling, dark, and I look forward to reading further books.
It never got any better. This was pretty bad by any standard.
Unique.
