![]() ![]() ![]() The second book raised the stakes and had some great plot twists. I had difficulty relating to Elder in the first novel, and some intensity was missing from the coupling of Amy and Elder to enable me to really care about them being together. With alternating P.O.V’s between ship-born and leader Elder, and a newly awakened from her cryogenic stasis, Amy I felt like the narrative kept getting interrupted, and it prevented me in truly losing myself in the book. (Which is why there is so much time in between reading each instalment – I needed to let my disappointment fade and get excited for the next book.)īut that gives a big disservice to this trilogy, for the last book is by far the best – better story line, better characters, better plot and execution. While I liked the premise of an arc of humanity journeying through the stars, off to colonise another planet, and issues raised on how different factions evolved over the journey, and their ultimate clash against each other, the first two books were lacking that special spark to keep my interest. Honestly – it took me two years to finish this series. ![]()
