Predictably, things go wrong when a group of people are sent off into space. But that's just about where the predictability ends; I couldn't predict how something would play out or when things may go wrong.
It was a breath of fresh air to see kids-- especially the gifted kids, the chosen kids-- be written as kids, seeing them have regrets and making the wrong decisions, seeing them processing intense and complex emotions.
I understand the open-endedness but I longed for a resolution and more story when I got to the end.

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.

I keep thinking about this book. It's characters, it's story, it's ending. That's it. I can't stop thinking about this story.

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.
