I was a little wary going into this installment of the Wayfarers series. The first book had such a fun cast of characters and the second spun off from them in a way that felt a little connected. This one still has a connection to the first through Tessa, Ashby's sister and the stories of life on the Fleet were really interesting. If you like an exploration of how humans would cope in a far off, space born world more than alien life, then you might really enjoy this installment. The drama and conflicts were still really human, which shouldn't be surprising but was to me I guess lol! It explores themes of life and death, what we all do it for, what's important to us, what makes us human, how we want to be. I have never been a big space person, but this made me want to learn more.
