Princess Relai is the heir-apparent to Ellen Ripley and the entire pantheon of strong female leads in Sci-Fi. The opening of "She is the End" evokes shades of Ripley's long stasis at the beginning of "Aliens" but with a first-person perspective that ratchets up the life-or-death tension of her need to escape the pod. That beautifully described scene sets the stage for a book replete with imagery and action that will spark your imagination.
