A very introspective and slow-burning story about possibility, hope, the pain of loss, and thinking towards the future. This isn't a flashy, alien-filled, space battle scifi book, it's much more grounded in reality and focuses on the feelings and thoughts of each of the 6 main characters. Although I was expecting something different, I ended thoroughly enjoying the character-driven narrative and Oh's wonderful writing style. ( ) DNF @ page 143. The premise was ludicrous to start with - half-a-dozen teenagers are sent off to begin the colonisation of a new world, with only a handful of expert adults along. Putting that aside, it has been teen angst, poorly differentiated characters, and implausibilities all the way, and they've only just left Earth by page 143! I couldn't stand another 400-odd pages of this. Scifi in the vein of Becky Chambers and maybe a bit of Interstellar. Not really about the science or space or big ideas, but more about the characters and humanity in general. An interesting read, but maybe not as impactful as it could have been. Objectively very well written, but I can see how this might be a lot boring for someone looking for space opera or a lot of action in general. For me, it was a solid read, but not one I feel compelled to reread anytime soon. Nothing very ground breaking or super original, though there's also nothing actively wrong with it, either. I chose this as my 100th book read this year and I'm so pleased I did! I'm a big sci-fi fan, and have always been particularly fond of the 'new colonists' type of books, whether it be on a new planet, up in space on their way, or even preparing to leave earth and head off into the unknown. This was a fantastic one, and I really enjoyed it! With the background of being the first team of people to head off and start a new colony, the book is mostly about people, and specifically the teenagers that make up the 'Beta' - Astrid, Juno, Eliot, Ara, Harry, Jesse, and Poppy. I found them really interesting and enjoyed their different viewpoints on life, each other, and musings on leaving behind everything they've ever known. The second half of the book (after leaving) became very exciting and action packed, and I could visualise the goings on, vaguely reminded me of a few sci-fi films but was different enough to not be something I've seen/read before. I loved that overall it was less about the struggle of the hard work they were doing, and more about the struggle of how they thought and felt about what they were doing. By the end I liked every character (let's just say that some of them did some growing up through the course of the book!) And if there's ever a sequel, I'd love to read it. (It doesn't need one, feels perfectly finished, but equally I could see that we might be able to visit these characters again further down the line). I would recommend this to friends and family, and I'm very glad for the chance to read it for review via Netgalley. I plan to read more by this author. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
