I'm not saying that this is a sequel, but this book came off as an unofficial companion piece to [b:Station Eleven 20170404 Station Eleven Emily St. John Mandel https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1680459872l/20170404.SX50.jpg 28098716]. We have a deadly virus, space travel, and even the author inserting herself into the book clearly to remark on criticism of the book. Whereas Station Eleven was more of a closed narrative, this book is better described as a sublime dreamscape. The prose is beautiful, and the journey was great, but there isn't too much going on. Everything just sort of exists for its own sake. Definitely recommended for those who have already read Station Eleven.
