Will Elder be able to protect and and find out who is unfreezing everybody before there is no more people from Earth frozen anymore


This was a good book i enjoyed it, it wasn't very clear to begin with the way Amy was written to me it seemed like she was 5 not 15, and also when it came to Elder that wasn't very clear to begin with either. It was pretty predictable i will admit especially when you are reading it you can see exactly where the story is going, but that didn't bother me too much but i still would have like some shocks and surprises. 

Character wise it was good not great but there were characters i loved but there were just so many to try to figure out. The 'Villian' in this was a tiny bit pathetic and i guessed who it was pretty much straight away i hope next time we get some more villainous activities and not just a half arsed antagonist. 

My really big annoyance with this is the ending, it felt like a stand alone it didn't feel like the first book in a trilogy at all, there was no cliffhanger some people will love that but personally i hate it, it doesn't give me any incentive to carry on with the series at all and as i said the ending was more of a stand alone or the last book in a series than the first book. 

Overall i gave it 4 stars because even with its faults i still really enjoyed myself reading it and i don't know if i will carry on with this series, if you have read it and they get better please comment and tell me, so i can really think about giving this a go. 

Until Next Time
Happy Reading
