What is this book even???
It’s bananas and weird and complicated and trying to do a bajillion things and mostly succeeds. 
And it has so many things I like - ark ships and cryogenically frozen people causing problems and weird worldbuilding and not knowing who to root for because it really feels like everyone is doing the best they can. 

This feels like one of those books that you recommend by describing the premise and then watching who leans in and who recoils.
