A group of young teenagers who train for and eventually go on a 20+year Spacetrip.
Non-spoilery Flaws in the book:
I really found that there could have been more continued exploration of the characters. Some of the growth was sudden and weirdly unexplained. Some seemed to be forgotten in between and some were really unnecessary and just there.
Still, it kept me going until the very end and I can’t say I was disappointed.

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!
