This book started really slow but had a good build up. I found the ending to be a little rushed and felt unsatisfied with all of the build up. I loved the concept of the story.

This book was way too slow and boring for me - the first really exciting to occur in the book happened around the 76% mark. Most of the book was just the teen characters arguing and complaining about everything. It doesn't make sense to me that any of these people were cleared to fly. They all have extremely obvious issues, their personalities clash constantly (they will have to live together in a confined space for 23 years!) and they always seem to take the opportunity to make a bad decision. The religious aspects were also really off-putting to me, and it's weird how the writing leans so hard into psychological issues but always seems to shy away from racism and colonialism when they come up.

There were a few quotes I liked (plus the one exciting thing and a couple of the adult characters) but it's not enough to ever recommend this to anyone.
