The Exodus fleet is a living relic from when the last people left Earth. Tessa chose to stay home while her brother left to the stars until her job is threatened. Kip itches for a change but doesn’t know what that looks like. Sawyer a lost and lonely newcomer is just looking for a place to belong and when tragedy strikes Exodans are forced to question what the purpose of a ship that has found its destination is.
This one was hard for me to get into at first and I was slightly confused. I found my groove later but I still feel underwhelmed by this one in respect to Chambers two previous works in this series. The characters felt less interesting to me despite still being very fleshed out and dimensional. I missed having more disparate POV’s as many felt too slow or similar to make me as invested as I wanted to be.
I did enjoy the latter half of this story and where the characters ended because it felt correct and closer to what I had been hoping for with in regard to Chambers. Sadly the journey didn’t work for me perfectly however the ending did help this books case for me by a lot. 3.5/5.
