This was an interesting story. There wasn't a lot of in-depth world building in this one but it mostly made sense since the colonists didn't really understand the world they were on either and that was mostly the point. The writing style was interesting in that each chapter was a short scene in the character's lives with time jumps of various lengths in between. Some of the chapters were no more than a page long and only contained the internal monologue of the characters. The characters themselves were not all that likable but I felt like it was the point given how toxic their relationships with each other were. The ending was a bit disturbing but I liked it.
