Fantastic story! I couldn't put it down. I loved all the twists NK Howell has imbedded in her story and cannot wait to see what happens in the next book. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of YA.

Descent story and I like the heroine, but ends on a low note
This is an interesting beginning, but the crew our heroine ends up with I don’t trust any of them and most seem emotionally dead inside. The story also ends on a low note with not much being accomplish.
I am interested in the sequel, but our heroine has no friends and no one she can trust she is truly alone and while she is a great engineer having no allies or anyone to talk to makes this for a very lonely experience.

Excellent YA SciFi
Welcome NK Howell. Hard to believe this is a debut novel. Excellent story that moves at a cracking pace. Characters are great. Look forward to the following books in the trilogy and anything else from this author.
