Congrats, Beth Revis, for the best ending of a book I've read in a while!
I loved this book. It's about Amy Martin, living in our time, who decides to become cryogenically frozen so that she can wake up on the Godspeed Ship and land on a new, better Earth. But when her chamber is opened 50 years early, Amy must decide who opened it: who tried to kill her.
The book switches perspective from Amy to Elder, the second-in-command on Godspeed. Elder discovers Amy, still frozen, and is the first to befriend her on the ship.
The characters were well developed, especially since it switched point-of-view, and we got memories and thoughts.
The conflict/resolution and ending correspond. We find out in the end that Elder opened Amy's chamber, not planning to kill her, but out of curiosity.
The flow worked really well, because moments we leave off with Amy begin again with Elder.
ATU is apart of a trilogy, the next two are untitled.
