Decades ago the world descended into biological warfare and The Virus was unleashed. Escaping Europe, a cruise ship anchored and eventually broke down in the waters along the fractured Americas. Due to the threat of illness the refugees were quarantined despite never having any outbreaks. Generations have come and gone and still the ship bound are stranded, unable to sail elsewhere, and barred from coming onto the Federation’s soil.
Readers follow a group of teens as they navigate life aboard their vessel, work towards their hopes and dreams- be it freedom from oppression, or settling on land at long last.
I LOVED the premise, but the story definitely stalled and stagnated multiple times in an effort to increase the page count with nothing really going on. When fighting, action, intense scenes happen it’s a thrilling read. The characters were your basic YA bunch.

Not as stirring as Station Eleven or as action packed as Hunger Games, as it recommended for readers of, but still a good read. Fast paced.
Looking forward to reading the second book, and hoping for a bunch of questions that weren't addressed in the first book about the details of the Virus or the splitting up of the USA / Federated states with jail camps and working for the government/Federated states are addressed.

Bit too YA for me. Could have been a great world but the characters were flat and the journe wasn't super compelling.
