This book has an interesting premise. While some parts were slightly predictable, it still made me curious enough to keep reading.

Esther is a great character. She is driven and has plans for the future. I wish she was allowed to focus more on her mechanics and trying to make life easier for everyone on board. I didn't like how quickly she was blamed when something went wrong because it was actually due to another character making larger, more dangerous mistakes.

The writing style was great and I liked the descriptions of the Galaxy and the rest of the flotilla. It helped to make them seem so much more opulent and elegant compared to the Catalina.

I'd love to know more about what is happening on land. Are there any survivors? Is is possible to live on land again? I hope these questions will be explored more in the next book and I can't wait to find out.
