توضیحات
Seventeen years have gone by since the Coordinated Endeavor crashed on a distant exoplanet. Ambrose Cusk and Kodiak Celius are now the devoted parents of two teenage children, Owl and Yarrow, in a hardscrabble frontier home. Though life on Minerva is full of danger, the family’s bond is enough to make it all worth it—until they learn that the biggest threat to their survival might come from within.
More than thirty thousand years in the past, Ambrose wakes on Earth to find that his mission to save his sister was a ruse. His mother betrayed him, and the truth of her plan—to send twenty clones of him to continue human civilization thousands of light-years away—sets Ambrose spiraling. When he discovers that another spacefarer is suffering his same fate, he will have to decide whether to risk crossing a world at war to reach him.
Separated by time and space, a young family and two strangers learn that their lives are intimately intertwined. They race to uncover the unexpected connections that might save them all . . . and perhaps humanity as well.

This didn't need to be made. I loved the first book because its fantastic plot made me overlook the bad writing and insufferable protagonist. This book had an unnecessary and convoluted plot with two timelines and four pov characters, bad writing, and nothing to make me care about anything that was happening. Information was repeated 5 billion times. Weird fixation on the fact that Owl is the only person who could carry a child and the child would be non-genetically related brother's (this is said multiple times in chapter one). The explanations for how certain elements were executed make no sense. I hate Ambrose and I strongly dislike Owl. It kinda demonizes people with OCD and dissociation?? I told myself that since the first book wrapped up its story so well, I didn't need to read this one because it could only spoil my enjoyment. I was correct and regret spending 8 days reading this garbage. But I guess there were enough elements to keep me reading so it gets a very generous 2 stars. I think less of the first book now and dear god I hope that this series is done.
