4.0

Do You Dream of Terra-Two focuses on 6 teenagers who are sent into space to colonize a habitable planet to replace Earth. Each chapter centers on the experience of a different teen, although we mostly hear from 4 of them. I thought the central characters were well-picked. The tone of the book felt thoughtful and muted. It begins and ends with dramatic impactful events, but most of the novel focuses on the character's introspections on their identities, why they chose to join this mission, and what reaching Terra-Two means to them. Oh's writing hits the sweet spot between sparse efficiency and poetic flourishes.
