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.

So good throughout the whole thing. The characters are SO unique and creative, there are some kind of challenging things that happen but it's written soooo well. Ending was unexpected but tied in really well

This has been on my TBR for too long, and I’m so glad I finally read it. The ending was not what I wanted, but the rest of the story was gripping.

ghosthermione's review

This is not how space agencies work.  This is not how mental health works. This is not how you plan a mission. Let alone a 20 year nonstop mission. This is not how human (and children's) rights work either. And you don't replace your astronauts a day before the start of mission either with an untrained unhealthy kid OR an untrained adult. Or ignore 

  a death on the team 

  and give no aftercare to the kids who witnessed it before you send them off. The lack of thinking in the worldbuilding made me give up.
