Firstly, I'd like to say that this book looks fantastic. However, there's something that I've noticed here and in other stories that needs to be brought up. The spaceship that crashes is called the Icarus. DON'T NAME YOUR SPACESHIP AFTER ICARUS! It's gonna crash! What kind of idiot names their flying thing after someone famous for trying to fly, doing something stupid, falling out of the sky and DYING?

Elle They clearly should have named it Titanic, that would have been much less of a curse to crash :)

I'm really not a "creepy vibe" fan. Ive started reading this book and am really enjoying it up until the part where things get a bit scary (SPOILER ALERT!!) seeing potential dead people? I know, I'm a total wimp but can someone tell me if this vibe goes throughout the rest of the book so I can move on to another or keep reading. Thanks peeps! <3 Wimpy Kelly

About a half to two thirds of the way through, I would say it gets treated more seriously and there is a canon-compliant reasonable source for it that isn't "ghosts."

I hope this helped!(less)

I don't really like aliens and space all that much but I was thinking about reading it. Should I read it?

Olivia Noack The book doesn't mention aliens once. It's mostly just about Lilac and Tarver trying to find there way around the unknown planet.

Honestly, this trilogy is #3 on my list and I love it so much! But, I don't recommend it if you can't follow plot lines well. Things get complicated towards the end. If you can't keep up with plots, I recommend watching some Doctor Who. That keeps you on your toes figuring out the plot the whole episode, Sherlock too. Watching shows like that really help you to keep up with plot lines.(less)

Ich mag dieses Cover total xD Und freuen tue ich mich auch. Ist diese Geschichte mit der Godspeed-Trilogie zu vergleichen?
