About
You’ll likely enjoy this moody, sad, and thought-provoking twist on a “second Earth” idea; Not for you if you want nonstop action or hard science, and it may disappoint those seeking louder pacing like I Origins or Moon.
Pros: thought-provoking premise; emotional character focus; beautiful melancholy | Cons: slow pacing; some science skepticism; divided execution
