[Stella]

Finally getting around to this book :)

[Edit~A]

Chapter 6
(view spoiler)[ Armenian Genocide... Yeah my nation suffered a lot. And since we are a small country we don't get its recognition easily and Turkey is powerful so other countries don't want to become enemies with them by recognising our genocide... so I am grateful to the author for this small gesture... (hide spoiler)]

[Edit~A]

Chapter 22
(view spoiler)[ all I can say is that I am happy that she is finally awake.
And I think the second elder is alive it's Orion and he is the one who melts the ice... (hide spoiler)]

[Edit~A]

Chapter 62
(view spoiler)[ I really like Orion, and now I am certain that he is the supposedly dead Elder, the way he is avoiding the Eldest and all...
And oh my got he pollutes water... I mean what the hack, just for the mating? People are not rabbits like seriously WTF!!!
And what kind of creepy people are here.
I like that painter boy though!
I hate Eldest.
I kind of trust Doc since I believe he his Orion from the Eldest I think he has a good heart (hide spoiler)]

[Edit~A]

Chapter 72
(view spoiler)[ Ok these guys and their ways are freaking me out for real!!! And omg the waiter died :( I liked him (hide spoiler)]

[[deleted user]]

Ok you are very quick :)
10% done
(view spoiler)[ I think I would rather stay there than being frozen for centuries.No matter the society.And the parents shouldn't have filled her with guilt about that (hide spoiler)]

[Edit~A]

Chapter 76
(view spoiler)[ Actually I was suspecting that it was him who woke her...
You are really greedy guy Elder... You should tell her ASAP or it is going to get ugly... (hide spoiler)]

[Edit~A]

Finished
(view spoiler)[ He did tell her!! and I like it. Even though it's series I would not like her to be dragged to the next book by lies, and deceived by the only person that she trusts. And she still does!!! And that's good as well...not really a happy ending more bittersweet I would say :) but again that's was nice (hide spoiler)]

[Edit~A]

(view spoiler)[ and you know at the end her thoughts are the same
"I didn't make/have choice, my dad already chose for me (hide spoiler)]

[Xiamera]

2% (view spoiler)[ Well my biggest question as soon as I've read a couple lines is: Why are y'all going into cryo sleep? I'm intrigued. (hide spoiler)]

[Xiamera]

4% (view spoiler)[ Well that does it. I am never getting cryogenically frozen. That description was horrible, especially the tubes. (hide spoiler)]

[Xiamera]

44% (view spoiler)[ Wow, the Hitler comment brought food for thought to mind. Eldest has actually achieved the one race ideal and presides over it like a dictator. (hide spoiler)]

[Xiamera]

80% (view spoiler)[finally something a little more interesting is starting to happen. There's been a lull that started with the season. (hide spoiler)]

[Xiamera]

82% (view spoiler)[ I'm more convinced than ever that Orion is the former Elder, who Eldest thought he had gotten rid of. (hide spoiler)]

[Xiamera]

Finished. I'm giving this 3 stars. I had a pleasant reading experience for the most part and I don't feel like I wasted time reading it.

[[deleted user]]

Up to Chapter 17
(view spoiler)[ I think Doc is Elder's father and Orion is a bad guy who isn't who he says he is (I think frex said he only sees him in the Recorder room,Why?)

Chapter 10

(view spoiler)[ I'm a little confused about all this... So Amy is still sleeping but her brain is awake and I understand because since your brain is off your body completes dies, so... I'd been asking everyone is awake like Amy? Why everyone aboard is the same looking but all those people from "Sun-Earth" are different? Does this means that the people in the ship are people from other planets or experiments? Why so many secrets between Eldest and Elder? What really happen with this other Elder? What if the other Elder was right and Eldest was wrong? And what is about this all people living in the ship? All those 2.000 people living but this specials 40(?) I think still sleeping and different

I'm liking where is this going but I have so many questions and it's kinda slow since Amy is sleeping but I like her sleeping because I feel like she will be fucking annoying. So keep sleeping sweetheart. (hide spoiler)]

[— Massiel]

Chapter 19

(view spoiler)[ I think that everything is going to happen now. Also I have this theory that Orión is other Elder and so far I like Amy, she is not as annoying as I thought she would be (hide spoiler)]

[— Massiel]

Chapter 47

(view spoiler)[ I'm liking this book so much! I like how everything it's developing. I still think Orión is the other Elder, I mean not everyone seems to know him not a lot of people just a few and I really like that every character is doing their paper even if they're main characters is like everyone got their part and I like how this going.

I had so many questions and so far a little had been answer but others don't. (hide spoiler)]

[— Massiel]

Chapter 70

(view spoiler)[ Seriously? Right now is when they realized that Orión is the one? Seriously?



It's sad that Harley died but I couldn't care less his character was a little off, the only thing so far I like about this book is they already explain everything, some of those things I was already suspected and others I was stunned. (hide spoiler)]

[— Massiel]

Finished

(view spoiler)[ I'm looking forward to start the second book there was some questions without answer and I think there will be riots now that everyone is without the drug. It didn't surprise me when Elder confess he was the one who wake up Amy and when Orión was the other Elder and the murder... The only thing that surprise me was about the clone stuff and that the ship is more slow now so they'll be in the space for more years.

This "love" about Amy and Elder is a little creepy to be honest, Elder just said "hey i wake you up" and Amy is all like "not worry, i am alone so let's be together" WTFFF and Elder is obsessed with Amy, they're so many signs (hide spoiler)]

[Just A Ginger]

3 hours until I can start reading this!

[Just A Ginger]

Alrighty, so I read this book before but I can't remember a single thing about it. So I'm going into this blind. I did read a good portion of this book yesterday while I was out at a mudding event so I wrote down what I wanted to post on here.

Chapter one, what Amy describes is terrifying, I don't know if I could ever be able to deal with being awake for that long and not being able to do literally anything.

Page 26 (view spoiler)[I want to know more about this plague (hide spoiler)]

Page 29 (view spoiler)[We lost com with Sol-Earth during the plague, and have not been able to regain it" That is a scary thought, they have no idea what Earth is like anymore. I mean imagine that they went 300 years away, look how much can change in 100 years could you imagine somehow getting back to earth after 300 years and seeing how it has progressed.

And anything you would do on the new planet you're headed to, would be like ancient compared to the original Earth, if it still existed. (hide spoiler)]

[Just A Ginger]

Pg 39 (view spoiler)[ So they have no clue what's on this Centri-Earth? That is terrifying, what if there are aliens, or monsters, or it's just different then what they planned. (hide spoiler)]

Pg 42 (view spoiler)[ He can't know who his parents are? That is so sad. He's all alone. (hide spoiler)]

Pg 43 (view spoiler)["Below the feeder level" "below? There's nothing below the feeder level." You're so wrong!! (hide spoiler)]

Pg 90 (view spoiler)[It's super sad that she is going to be an old woman when she finally see's her parents again .. (hide spoiler)]

Pg 120 (view spoiler)[ WTF no, I need conditioner, my hair would not survive without it. I can't just use a lathery bar of soap. Ugh if that's the future, u can keep it! (hide spoiler)]

[Just A Ginger]

pg 162 (view spoiler)[ ELDEST SAYS Hitler is a freaking GOOD LEADER. LOL OMG that is so awful, it all is making so much more sense now. (hide spoiler)]

pg 198 (view spoiler)[ WTF are they putting in this water? Seriously?

"all animals go into heat. People have seasons just like cows, sheep, goats" uhm no lol lol

Amy snorts "must be something in the water"

Yeah, I'm starting to really think so. (hide spoiler)]

pg 206 (view spoiler)[ Awe her dad packed her teddy, even though he didn't think she was going to come. He wanted something to remember her by that is so sad and so cute. (hide spoiler)]

[Just A Ginger]

pg 211 (view spoiler)[that's really creepy, the old guy, how would her mom just laugh at that? That's a creepy pedophile! (hide spoiler)]

pg 213 this book is a tad boring, dragging, problematic. Elder is freaking annoying. (view spoiler)[nobody has stopped the killer, Elder isn't learning a dang thing and that's a huge problem since he's going to lead them soon! I think it's Elder, or Eldest, or the Elder that was supposed to be dead. (hide spoiler)]

pg 223 I hate the people on this ship, that was vial and horrifying.

pg 238 (view spoiler)[hormones in the water! birth control! HA, so there was something in the water! (hide spoiler)]

pg 240 (view spoiler)[ "I might be a fool," I mutter, "but you haven't told me that you didn't do it" BUUURN!

pg 242 (view spoiler)[ WHAT A SKEEZE!! "Your names Kristen right?" "No," I said hollowly. "Amy" God her ex bf was a disgusting prick. I'm glad she left him behind. If she would have stayed behind she would have stayed with him and been made even more of a fool. Now he's dead, hopefully he died of an STD. (hide spoiler)]

pg 254 (view spoiler)[ OMFG my coochie!!!! "Then he stabs her with the needle, ramming it deep inside her -into her uterus, I'm guessing." WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK TO THE NO FUCKING WAY NO NO NO. RAMMING something deep inside of me??!?!? I will kill I WILL KILL anybody! (hide spoiler)]

pg 274 (view spoiler)[they'd never be the generation to be in the new world, they'd be 70 and they all seem to be "taken away" at 50-60ish. Also is he lying about how long it's going to take? (hide spoiler)]

pg 280 (view spoiler)[omg they drugged her?! These people are INSANE (hide spoiler)]

pg 306 (view spoiler)[ Abe Lincoln eliminated different races, and that was how the war ended. LOL WTF?!?!?? (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Just A Ginger]

pg 310 (view spoiler)[So they should have made it to the planet already? If 3 centuries went by BEFORE the plague?! They are way off track! Ships been flying at least a century longer than it was supposed to. "But the ship was supposed to have landed in fifty years, we've only been flying for 250 years"

The plague happened at the same time they were supposed to land, and yet they have even more time before they land?

"something happened during that plague," Amy says slowly. Something so bad that all the records of it were destroyed. and eveyrhting after the season, the way people act here, it all comes back to the plague." WTF HAPPENED during the plague! (hide spoiler)]

pg 317 (view spoiler)[there was no plague! wtf (hide spoiler)]

pg 323 (view spoiler)[they've been telling every group that their kids would be the ones to see the new planet?! trickery! I WANT ANSWERS (hide spoiler)]

pg 329 OMG (view spoiler)[ "Twenty-five years behind schedule? I wish we're not even halfway there. As of now we're 250 years behind schedule" OMG so it's only been 51 years?! She'll never see her parents! (hide spoiler)]

pg 333 (view spoiler)[ killing off the old ppl so they can't reveal the pattern, the lies?!? That is horrible. (hide spoiler)] They have no hearts!

pg 369 (view spoiler)[ ORIAN IS THE OTHER ELDER!!!! I did not see that coming! (hide spoiler)]

pg 373 (view spoiler)[ I had a feeling he was a clone! (hide spoiler)]

pg 379 (view spoiler)[ ELDER unplugged AMY!?!?!??!?!!?!? (hide spoiler)]

I'd want to keep diaries, I'm surprised she isn't.

Elder you have to tell AMY THE TRUTH!

Without her they'd have never discovered anything!

"This is the secret of the stars, I tell myself. In the end, we are alone. No matter how close you seem, no one else can touch you"

pg 391 SHITS ABOUT TO GO DOWN!

pg 395 (view spoiler)[ is he seriously going to redrug everyone?! (hide spoiler)]

[Just A Ginger]

This book wasn't as good as I thought it would be. I remember loving it the last time but this time... I have so many questions and I just want to know the answers, but I wish I liked it more :/ maybe the next book will be better? It was interesting enough but it's just missing a certain writing style that makes you LOVE it. The ideas behind the story are interesting enough.

[Just A Ginger]

TIME TO BEGIN! :)

[Heather]

let me know when you start shades of earth!

[Just A Ginger]

pg 4 I like Marae, she seems like a very strong woman.

pg 5 (view spoiler)["We don't need it, do we? We don't need the fuel. We just need enough to get to top speed and than we could shut off the engine. Theres no friction, no gravity, the ship would keep moving through space until we reached the planet"

This bit kinda went over my head, how would they get into the planet this way? I mean, don't they need some sort of speed to get through any barriers like ours? But hey, they may get to the planet this way! (hide spoiler)]

pg 6 (view spoiler)[So are they behind schedule or not WTF. "Eldest lied to you," Marae says calmy, "because we lied to him. (hide spoiler)]

pg 12 (view spoiler)[Are they closer to landing than expected? (hide spoiler)]

[Just A Ginger]

@Heather, yay I'm glad you're still joining :) I will be starting that later tonight hopefully. I have off today and I want to get as much reading done as I can!

[Heather]

Awesome! I have several buddy reads starting but I definitely want to read it!

[Just A Ginger]

Do you remember the first two books? I have a problem remembering books so when I want to read a book or two of the series to finish it I end up having to reread the whole thing lol.

[Heather]

yes I remember them lol

[Vicki]

You're cursed like I am! I have the exact same problem, or I'll remember the gist of a book but no details. I have even gone back and read my reviews of some books and STILL can't even remember what I have written myself and it's frustrating.

[Just A Ginger]

I do the same thing! Some reviews I actually put a spoiler at the bottom and describe in detail the gist of the book and the main events. But sometimes I'm to lazy to do that and than I kick myself later.

[Just A Ginger]

pg 18 (view spoiler)[ Now Marae slouches, "We're not going too fast or too slow." She looks sad, worry in her eyes. "We're not going at all."

WTF WTF WTF WTF ?!?!?! Not going at all?! Where are they? How far away are they!? How can you be on a ship traveling, or uhm, sitting in space and not know where you are?! Why isn't navigation visable?! Usable!? WTF. (hide spoiler)]

pg 27 (view spoiler)[ WTF screw the ship it's going to fall apart eventually! GET TO THE PLANET to survive! It's super annoying how they are all SAVE the ship, but you need to save the people and the only way to do that is to get to the planet! (hide spoiler)]

pg 29 (view spoiler)[A Poe-leez force lol, I love how she says it but that sounds like a great idea. He should have did that ASAP. (hide spoiler)]

pg 33 (view spoiler)[So we're going to finally deal with this rape issue? I hated how it was brushed over in the first book like it was just a dramatic filler for the book.

AND Amy just forgives him?! He lied to her the entire time by not telling her right away he unplugged her! THAT is a lie. She's all well he told me the truth and nobody else did so I forgive him. Uhm no if someone HIDES the truth and finally says it when they know they have to or risk getting caught, uhm that is still a form of lying and deceiving! HOW THE HELL can she forgive him so easily? HELLO you will never see your parents again because of him! (hide spoiler)]

pg 40 (view spoiler)[Elder really needs to put his foot down and straighten things out about Amy. He needs to make an announcement of who she really is and for everyone to stop treating her like some leper! (hide spoiler)]

I'm reading/and listening to the audiobook while I do dishes and I hate the guy narrator for Elder. I also hate Elder so it makes sense LOL but he is ANNOYING.

[Just A Ginger]

pg 135 (view spoiler)[Amy needs to tell about Luther, or he's going to do it again! She's so annoying, she knows she should say something but she just doesn't. She just walks away and lets him get away with it!

She's getting on my damn nerves. She is mad because she says Elder has changed, "I don't know him" wah wah wah he is the same exact person, just with authority!

What kind of ship doesn't show you stars anyways? What kind of ship doesn't have those thick glass windows to see outside?

& than the dude who punched Elder, everyones saying oh are you going to do this to everyone who disagrees with you? He isn't disagreeing with him he PUNCHED the leader. He assaulted Elder. Elder had reason to punish him (hide spoiler)]

pg 140 (view spoiler)[I do think its a good idea to feed only those who work, you need everyone working on this ship to survive. It's fair, they don't get paid wages, so pay them with food. (hide spoiler)]

This entire time I just wanted Elder to (view spoiler)[drug these people back up, idc if it sounds awful, they are acting like animals! (hide spoiler)]

pg 178 Than they want to freak out about (view spoiler)[the weapons? It is for self defense they have no idea what is on that new planet! It could be anything! So yea I'd bring a whole army and TONS of weapons with me. HELL Yeah. (hide spoiler)]

This book is dragging, I just want it to be over. This first half of the book is so freaking boring.

pg 183 (view spoiler)[what if they're on the planet already, what if they never left? (hide spoiler)]

pg 219 (view spoiler)[ FINALLY, FINALLY, FINALLY things are shaping up! the planet! THE FREAKIN PLANET THEY ARE THERE, THEY ARE THEEEERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (hide spoiler)]

pg 295 (view spoiler)[if the planet is right there I'd grab doc and wake up my parents! (hide spoiler)]

pg 329 (view spoiler)[TAKE THE cryo level and land! Did the creators build the ship so it would blow up so the feeders and ship-born could never land? So the only people landing would be from Earth? (hide spoiler)]

pg 340 (view spoiler)[ CREATURES?!?!?!? WAKE EVERYONE UP LET THEM HELP LET THEM SOLVE THIS! WAKE THEM UP!!!

CREATURES?!?!? I am freaking out I need to read the next book!!! (hide spoiler)]

The first half of this book was boring and dragged, not only did Elder annoy me like usual but Amy was starting to get on my nerves to. As soon as page 219 came around though, it was all uphill from there. I am so excited to finally see this part of this adventure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Just A Ginger]

WOOT WOOT

pg 15 (view spoiler)[IT FREAKING LANDED MFFFERSS!!! (hide spoiler)]

[Just A Ginger]

pg 18 (view spoiler)[ "We don't need to worry about the frozen right now" Elder. ARE YOU EFFIN KIDDING ME?!?!?!?!?! He is such a selfish jerk. For one, you are on a planet with 'creatures' and they are trained to deal with that for TWO her parents are FROZEN. Like seriously? Yes I understand he is worried about his freakin ppl but she is worried about HER PEOPLE!!!! (hide spoiler)]

[Just A Ginger]

pg 21 (view spoiler)[While most of the others who are forty are starting to show their frailty of age..."

jesus, forty is old? forty is frail?! HAHA these people have no idea (hide spoiler)]

[Just A Ginger]

pg 66 (view spoiler)[Ooo this new guy, let her LOVE HIM. He isn't annoying and he sounds adorable, he isn't whining!!!! Big strong military man heeey (hide spoiler)]
