Temi Oh has crafted a brilliantly beautiful story!! Finishing this book made me violently sob. The characters' complexities, relationships, and situations they find themselves in are done incredibly well. I felt as if I were on the ship with them, heading to Terra-Two!! My heart breaks for these characters in unfathomable ways.
This book does not shy away from talking about trauma and other hard-to-tackle conversations. So I have done my best to compile adequate content warnings for this book below.
Additional content warnings:
Graphic: Eating disorder, Mental illness, Rape, Sexual assault, Sexual content, Sexual violence, Suicidal thoughts, Suicide, Toxic relationship, Medical content, Grief, Colonisation, and Injury/Injury detail

It was a breath of fresh air to see kids-- especially the gifted kids, the chosen kids-- be written as kids, seeing them have regrets and making the wrong decisions, seeing them processing intense and complex emotions.
I understand the open-endedness but I longed for a resolution and more story when I got to the end.
