Ah, I really like this series. It's so wholesome and cozy, you don't get that often in Sci-Fi.
I liked how quiet and melancholic but still hopeful this one was. There was almost no plot, just a slice of life story on a generation ship. Or, several stories of several different characters that may or may not cross paths. I really liked the beginning and how the characters were introduced and were effected by a tragedy that took place a few years ago. The main event took me by surprise, but I also liked how it was handled. I loved the discussions about it and the overall themes of the book.
Sadly, I didn't enjoy all the point of views equally... and the ending dragged a little.
But I'm looking forward to the fourth book in the series.
