Good. I liked the main character and I followed the story easily. For the most part the plot was in continuous motion. Though, at one point I did feel that we were just going over and over the same daily chores of the main character. But once I started feeling that way, it stopped. I loved that there was no sense of safety. Anyone could die at any second. And I loved that I never guessed what Inside was. I had my theories, but that wasn't one. I'm looking forward to book two! I talk about this book and others on my YouTube channel, here: http://bit.ly/RN2j5n 
 My Spoilery Thoughts: (view spoiler)[Wow, they're on a spaceship? How come I didn't think of that?! It's not even a new concept for me. Across the Universe by Beth Revis has the premise. So I can't believe I didn't think of it. Kudos to the author for keeping me thoroughly off track on that point lol. The scene where Cog is sucked out of the small room and killed should have been my first clue. But when I was reading it, I didn't really understand what I was reading. I assumed they were looking outside, but during the night. When Trella started talking about being dizzy and floating, I thought maybe she just couldn't handle seeing so much vast space or the belief that there was nothing out there. I was lost during that whole scene. When it's revealed at the end that they're on a spaceship, I realized that the author was being more literal than I thought. Poor Cog, that's a crappy way to go-- and he'd just gotten free. 
 My biggest complaint about the series would be some of the needless description. Telling me that Trella had to take B4 to cross D3 and get to 1A, is just pointless. I don't have a map of the ship so it's not like I can really follow what she's talking about. I skimmed those parts. 
 I hope Trella gets a little more respect from people in the next book. They wouldn't be free if it wasn't for her. She was the one that made everything happen, the grease between the gears. I understand their up and down treatment of her in book one. They hadn't liked her before and now they were questioning their own judgement of her. So it stands to reason, that they should by book two have a firm grasp of who she is. However, I've noticed in a lot of books that after the main character saves the world that people act like it was nothing. They ignore them or treat them like they were still no better than their prior selves. This drives me crazy. I would never do this. I try to always give credit where it's do. So I hope that the side characters are better about this in book two. (hide spoiler)]

 Trella holds her own pretty well. I don't think she could fight in hand-to-hand, but she'd still fight and probably walk away just fine...somehow.
