Wow, this is a great YA science fiction and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s set on another world and while there are alien temples and alien suns and not quite enough oxygen meaning characters are forced to use breathers to ensure they have enough oxygen to stay alive… it is also a story of very human issues… greed, criminal behavior and a fight for survival.
It is written with two very different Points Of View. Amelia’s POV and Jules’s POV alternate every chapter but continue the story along in a rapid pace of betrayal, puzzles to solve, lies and secrets exposed while they race to be the first to discover the treasures the “Unending” left behind.
But is it a trap or a test? What they find is completely unexpected. They are being hunted by soldiers and scavvers and only by working together will they survive the obstacle course/maze of bobby traps left behind. Its almost as if the Unending don’t want them to reach the end alive.
A fabulous, well written sci-fi story for young and old alike. It’s a little bit Indiana Jones in space. A fun, fast paced story. There is a book two and I’m gonna have to get it now to see how it ends.

I was excited about this book because of the author, but its just not all that. The plot is predictable and I never really got engaged with it. The characters are boring, unlikable and dull. Not my favorite.

This was another book that attracted me by the premise alone. The idea of a archaeology adventure in space was so cool. If only it had been pulled off a little better. The mystery and intrigue was off the charts, but that was the only thing that kept me reading. I didn't care much for either main character and found their romance so unbelievable that their decisions to keep protecting each other never sat well with me. Combine that with too much repetitive internal dialogue, and the book just crawled along. I couldn't get to the end fast enough, and the big twist at the end was at least satisfying, but I'm not sure if I can make it through another book to find out how it all plays out.
This was a 2 1&2 stars for me. I wanted to like it more than I did. It's hard to visualize all the tests the characters have to go through in the Undying temple but think Indiana Jones and Goonies but on an alien planet.
Be aware that this is the first book and ends on a cliff hanger.

It was fine. Very repetitive. Could have used less of the characters moaning about the same worries five times in each chapter from one POV, then the same thing from another POV.
