I was going through my old kindle looking at stuff I hadn't read yet trying to work out what I wanted to carry over onto my new one so was reading a few chapters of everything to get a feel and sadly this just didn't hook me. My reading tastes have changed and this no longer fits.

Slightly derivative of other genre material but there's enough that's original that it doesn't matter. Good world-building, plenty of action and the obligatory love interest make for an engrossing read.

Unfortunately I no longer wish to review this book as the first few chapters did not reel me in. Thank you for the opportunity.

Thank you for providing a copy of this book for review however I was unable to open the file for this document unfortunately! Apologies.

While it has an interesting writing style and has potential, it is unfortunately like every other post-apocalyptic novel that has come out recently.

I was hoping that this would be something new but unfortunately it just seemed to be a mismatch of all other dystopian novels mixed in a bad way. I saw nothing original and the characters were a bit flat - disappointing.

This sci-fi for teens is going to appeal to the market audience, and thankfully the female half of it too with its heroine Amy, but it's not anywhere near as good as it should be. The first section is fine, with a revisit of Wars of the Worlds through a sort of Cloverfield sensibility. It then bogs down on one of the space ships, with betrayal and suchlike machinations every few pages – not helped by the silly diary style of alternating sections, that do nothing except twist the time-lines unnecessarily and force stings and cliff-hangery bits upon us. Those bits that suggest something dramatic is around the corner when the narrative can only catch up to them are almost vital, as the book is far too long, and has so much that is inherently illogical I can't begin. Shame. One and a half stars.
