Do You Dream of Terra-Two? by Temi Oh

gabrielle_erin's review

4.0

This was such an atmospheric read! I was absolutely enthralled in the world, my only criticism is that I wanted more!!! The ending seemed a bit unfinished but I understand why Oh chose to wrap up the story this way. Perfect for fans of The Martian and Battlestar Galactica.

I loved it way more than I ever expected to. I wish I could read it again for the first time... Despite being in the middle of another two books, I keep going back to thinking about Do You Dream of Terra Two. One of my top three books of this year so far.

A great rec from story graph. I really enjoyed the character development and the ending really felt right. Good weekend read.

This book would be a great beginner sci-fi novel, there isn’t too much science jargon or any difficult concepts to wrap your head around. I loved this book, honestly, and this was so easy to read, I flew through the pages.  I loved all the characters, I even started to like Harry, they all felt so real and you got to know almost every character and really sympathize with each one. All of the action was towards the end, and I kinda liked that, you as the reader know something has to go wrong and that feeling of when the other foot is going to drop kept making me want to continue reading. I liked how Ara’s presence was never really gone throughout the book, she basically was a ghost haunting the ship.

I liked this book. I wanted to love it. It's not a bad read by any means, but it took too long for anything significant to happen for me. 6 teenagers and 4 vets are on a space mission to a distant planet named Terra-Two. The trip will take them 23 years and requires them to travel out of our solar system. You get a POV off all 6 teens, but the book mainly focuses on 3.  It also focuses on the mental and physical impacts that space travel has on astronauts.  I thought the book was going to focus on their 23 year travel and the significant moments that happen in between, but that was not the case. 

It is beautifully written. The descriptions she uses, and the way the imagery is laid out is magnificent. I would pick up another of Temi Oh's books.

the first third of the book i didn't like at all, was tracking on 2 stars for me but i decided to push through and finish it and i'm glad i did. this book perfectly combined character studies with a strong plot, so by the end i was extraordinarily invested and knew the charaacters so well. could've used a touch more editing, and a stronger start, but otherwise it was pretty good.
