4.0

As I have mentioned many times, I don't love the length of novelettes. This is one of a few examples of one that I like. The generation ship is starting to become the new dystopian story, and this is a fresh take. There were a few holes in the story that kept it from being five stars, but I loved the musical oral tradition that permeated the story.
