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.

Terra-Two - a distant planet 23 years of travel away, which young teenagers compete frantically to land on. But space is cold and unforgiving and the type of perfectionist, ambitious, striving people who make it there have flaws too, and that's very much the case for these young adults.
I really enjoyed the writing style, but this feels unfinished to me - I want to read a follow-up!
