Be warned, however, that this is a VERY heavy novel with racism, violence, and death throughout along with a LOT of other potentially triggering content, so PLEASE proceed with care if you’re planning to read it.
Graphic: Racism, Child death, Death, Violence, and Murder
Moderate: Suicidal thoughts, Transphobia, Sexual assault, Racial slurs, Homophobia, Grief, and Misogyny

Throughout the story Aster uncovers the mysteries of her mother’s death and the blackouts occurring currently on the ship all whilst dealing with trauma and systemic racism and standing up to it more than anyone had done before. Aster is such a strong and admirable character and I loved her progressions of exploring her gender. Will be visiting more of Rivers’ books.

This book is brilliant and beautiful and difficult to read but healing. Takes the science fiction idea of a generation ship and generational trauma and melds them together.nytephoenyx's review against another edition
