Title: Hope's DaughterAuthor: Melanie Cusick-JonesFormat: eBook (about 389 pgs according to GR)Genre: YA Science Fiction, Fantasy, Apocalyptic, Dystopia, RomanceHoly guacamole!!!  I could not wait to write the review on this one.  Yes the ending was amazing!  I loved it!  But I didn't love it in the beginning.Cassie, Balik and the rest of the teenagers thought they where very lucky to live on the SS Hope.  They thought that they were the last of the human race.  They thought that their parents were very lucky to have been rescued from the earth's destruction and brought to live in the man mad space station.  They lived without danger or crime, or they thought.  No one questioned anything; everyone followed the rules and took their little pill.  They believed that they would live happily ever after.  Boy where they wrong and in for a rude awakening!In the beginning I really wanted to put the book down.  The pace in the story was way to slow, but I did like the synopsis so I hung in there and I was very glad I did.  All though the story didn't pick up till about half way into the book, (if you decide to read it be aware that it dragged a bit), but I highly suggest that you hang in there it gets way, way better. Good teen and YA book nothing to graphic a good PG-13 book.  The story continues with "Outlanders" and I will be definitely looking forward to it.I gave "Hope's Daughter" 4 (four) stars.1 Star for the Plot and amazing ending1 Star for the Cover (nice, simple, but revels so much once you read the story)1 Star for the Great characters1 Star for Editing (only a few errors, however the word whilst did get on my nerve, it is used often)I would have given it 5 stars, but I can still remember how I struggled reading the 1st half.
