The book asks an interesting question- would you give up everything you had for a new life? Even if it took you 20 years to get there? This compelling premise is what made me pick up the book.

It’s an interesting read, but all the main characters were frustrating and annoying in places. I question how characters with such obvious mental health issues were cleared by what seemed like an incredibly rigorous selection process to spend 23 years on a spaceship with no one for company but each other. The book also suffers from some pacing issues- a whole lot of nothing for most of it, and then a very very quick resolution and ending.

I’d want to go to Terra Two, but I don’t think it’d want to take 23 years to get there.
