I've seen this book described as The 100 meets Becky Chambers and yes, that rings true.  It's slice of life with philosophical discussions in space.  The characters are so flawed and so loveable.  I missed them when it was over and I still miss them now.

Also, this book is really, really long and has very little plot.

So, if you're ready to journey through space with some highly intelligent (almost to their detriment) young adults who are working through their own moral dilemmas while also working to solve humanity's greatest downfall, buckle up and hop on board.  

Reading recommendations: time, a cozy seat, and a warm blanket with a cuppa.

A slow burn and suspense novel about kids and a futuristic world that parallels colonialism <3 through space travel. I still think about these characters and this story even after a couple years since reading. I would definitely reread it.

This wasn't what I thought it was going to be, but I found myself sucked into the stort nevertheless. The biggest way it diverged from my expectations is that it's very much a character-driven books, rather than plot-driven. 

There's quite a diverse cast of characters, many whom I loved and a few which I very much disliked (looking at you, Harry). 

While at it's heart this is a stoey about reaching this utopian planet Terra-Two, a more thsn two dacade long journey away, it's much more and much less than that. All these different characters with all their conplexities and flaws gets their moment in the spotlight. As the main characters are very young, there's very much 'young drama' as well, which sometimes felt a bit meh (to me as an adult), but I had a great time in this story. I didn't think I was going to be all that invested in the beginning, but by the end I was very emotional. 

If you're looking for a character-driven sci-fi and don't mind inaccurate and (what I completely unedcuatedly assume is) somewhat unrealistic space travel history, you might just love this!
