Read Because: honestly no idea how this landed on my TBR, audiobook borrowed from the Multnomah County Library
Review: A group of elite students are chosen to make a colonist effort to the habitable planet of Terra-Two. I wouldn't be surprised to learn the author has a background in fanfiction, not because there's there any serial numbers filed off here but for the focus is on character work above plot. It makes for contemplative science fiction, a little teen drama, a little psychology; I like that the worldbuilding has so many ramifications for the characters, but there's something strained in the messaging, not just how characters narrativize their own experiences, but the judgment from on high: who succeeds, and why. Interesting, but more conceptually than practically, because sometimes feels like a very long book in which nothing much happens.
