Story
Firefly meets Mass Effect in this thrilling self-published debut! When Rosemary Harper joins the crew of the Wayfarer, she isn't expecting much. The Wayfarer, a patched-up ship that's seen better days, offers her everything she could possibly want: a small, quiet spot to call home for a while, adventure in far-off corners of the galaxy, and distance from her troubled past. But Rosemary gets more than she bargained for with the Wayfarer.

It's been centuries since the robots of Panga gained self-awareness and laid down their tools; centuries since they wandered, en masse, into the wilderness, never to be seen again; centuries since they faded into myth and urban legend. One day, the life of a tea monk is upended by the arrival of a robot, there to honor the old promise of checking in. The robot cannot go back until the question of "what do people need?" is answered. But the answer to that question depends on who you ask, and how.

Of the 382 realities that have been unlocked, Cara is dead in all but eight. On this earth, however, she survived. Identified as an outlier and a perfect candidate for multiverse travel, Cara is plucked from the wastelands and given a job and a comfortable apartment in the wealthy and walled-off Wiley City.

Mars. The red planet. A new frontier for humanity: a civilisation where humans can live in peace, lord and master of all they survey. But this isn't Space City from those old science-fiction books. It's more like Hell City, built into and from a huge crater. There's a big silk canopy over it, feeding out atmosphere as we generate it, little by little, because we can't breathe the air here. I guess it's a perfect place to live, if you want to live on Mars. At some point I must have wanted to live on Mars, because here I am.

Meanwhile, a ship launches from a distant city bound for Tova and set to arrive on the solstice. The captain of the ship, Xiala, is a disgraced Teek whose song can calm the waters around her as easily as it can warp a man’s mind. Her ship carries one passenger.

Summary
The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet meets The 100 in this unforgettable debut by a brilliant new voice.
A century ago, scientists theorised that a habitable planet existed in a nearby solar system. Today, 10 astronauts will leave a dying Earth to find it. Four are decorated veterans of the 20th century’s space race. And six are teenagers, graduates of the exclusive Dalton Academy, who’ve been in training for this mission for most of their lives.
It will take the team 23 years to reach Terra-Two. Twenty-three years spent in close quarters. Twenty-three years with no-one to rely on but each other. Twenty-three years with no rescue possible, should something go wrong. And something always goes wrong.

Are We Nearly There Yet?
I left our intrepid crew of astronauts after about seven hours into the book as they were trying to decide how to cheer one of their number up on their birthday. I felt as if I had heard enough and this simply isn't a book that suits me at all. I've had a quick check and reviews are mostly more positive than mine with an indication that if I keep listening for another three of four hours then things might start happening.
I'm probably, therefore, rating it a little harshly but I can't give a book that didn't grab my attention enough that I at least finish it any better! What is certain is that this is a very character-focused work, there is a lot of internal wrangling by the multiple characters whose point of view we see the story through. The plot kind of limps along behind a lot of angst and if this will appeal to anyone it's those that enjoy a lot of in-depth character development in a sci-fi setting.
I'll definitely pop back to see if others have got more out of it and to see if I have made a mistake by abandoning ship at this point as the performance by Nneka Okoye was pleasing enough and Temi Oh invests a lot into her characters rounding them all out very fully.
It just felt lacking in terms of plot development and eventually, my patience ran out, like a child on a long distance car journey I kept asking, are we nearly there yet?

Listenable, but flawed
Firstly, I could have done with it saying somewhere in the description that it's a book for teenagers or young adults as I believe they're called now. That way I'd have been far less disappointed with the sketchy characterisation and simplistic development.
Once you realise it's a kids book, then the stereotypes and standard tropes make more sense and the book transforms from a vaguely irritating listen to a middling one.
On that basis it just about stays the right side of silly (were it a proper hard science fiction novel it would cross the line into downright ludicrous.)
That said, the narrator does a passable job of bringing two dimensional characters to life and it's nice for a change to see a publisher promote a book that's not written by or read by white middle aged men.

Loved it! Held my breath during the treeplanting day and felt my heart race in the airlock scene.
I would love to read more from the chinese ship and the marscolony!
I almost skipped after reading a comment of it never starting. So glad I didn't! And I don't agree!

Do You Dream of Terra-Two? I do now!!!
I love this book. What a brilliant story sci-fi with a human interest story. I was not expecting those plot twists and now I can’t wait to know what happens next. There must be a sequel! What a brilliant new voice.
And the narrator was wonderful too! She brought the characters to life.
Excellent debut novel. I loved it.

Good listen
I enjoyed this book it’s well read and has a good story line it’s a easy listen which doesn’t take much concentration to follow
It’s down sides are no real twists or surprises that you don’t see coming a mile off
And it spends a lot of time filling out the characters
In some cases unnecessarily
But I did enjoy it for the most part

Absolutely enjoyed the book. Would love to have a part 2.
While the book is superficially a sci-fi book about travel to another planet, it's really a study of psychology.

awkward pacing, poor characters, illogical choices
I don't demand realism from my sci fi, but I want the characters to make logical choices according to who they are, and I feel like that's lacking in this book.
The pacing is awkward, too slow to be truly engaging.

Slow Start but Picks Up Nicely
The premise -- teenagers being sent into space with a seasoned crew to shadow for a 23-year trip -- felt logical and reasonable to me. Liked how main characters were developed. Teenage angst made story believable as well. Appreciated the inclusion of the subject of spirituality, a topic much of sci-fi avoids.

DNF, couldn’t get that into it
I didn’t finish. I got about six hours in finally decided that I couldn’t tell you what the story was about.
There’s nothing particularly wrong with it. The characters are well drawn. The world seems interesting enough. Though pointlessly so up to the point I reached. There was plenty of social discomfort. Possibly too much.
I just couldn’t see where it was going in any way that interested me. Everyone’s goals and how they were going to play against each other just wasn’t clear to me. And I was tired of waiting for it to become clear.

This is literary (not flashy) speculative fiction
This is a psychological science fiction novel and not a space opera or tech-driven novel. The technology is only a smidge into the future. Instead, this is about ethics, making human decisions, and choosing to explore.
I read (actually listened to) the book because Audible suggested it had a bit in common with Becky Chambers' Wayfarers series. I think that is accurate (although, even Chambers' series has more high-tech flash). I also thought this book was similar to Meg Howrey's The Wanderers (although, Howrey's book also has more tech than Oh's).
Bottom line -- the book is beautiful. This is true literary speculative fiction But, perhaps not for you if you like flash in your sci-fi.
The characters are racially and class-wise diverse (I think, they are British, so this American has a difficult time "reading" some markers). Sadly, the crew seems overly straight/cisgendered. There is a bit of neurodiversity among the characters.
The reader was good w/ a light British accent that was understandable to my American ears. She portrayed a lot of emotion well.

NOTHING like the wayfarers series
Don't believe the description. This book has none of the same themes and a different tone from Chambers' works and lacks any sort of LGBT rep. If you're coming for a book similar to hers, you're in the wrong place and you have been lied to.

Too Teening
I’m not sure if it was the pitch of the reader’s voice or the content of the book, but “Do You Dream of Terra-Two?” was too teeming for me. The speed of the plot was all jumbled up that it didn’t make sense. I have nothing against the young adult genre and it’s a great way to introduce science fiction for those beginners, but this one was a bit puberty for a mid 40 year old.
