When I started reading Do You Dream of Terra-Two?, I was convinced that this would at best be a 3 star rating for me. It was slow, and it was confusing with so many POVs in the beginning. I also didn't understand why there were 130 pages before the launch into space, as I was mostly interested in the space-theme. But damn, I ended up rating this 5 stars.

The pre-launch days truly added more to the story and everything that happened in space. I thought I knew what would happen, but I didn't. Things got so much worse than I imagined. The scenario they are stuck in is my worst nightmare. The thought of being alone, with no one to help you - out in space - truly disturbs me. 

I definitely want to mention that the story is very slow-paced. I also thought this would be a horror when I started reading, but I was wrong! It is tense, and the thought of being alone in space is an absolute horrific thought to me - so it kinda worked as a horror to me. There are also scenes that might be triggering to some, so check the trigger warnings before reading.
