A nice perspective on finding yourself suddenly dumped into adulthood and self-management, but as part of a group— so you all can build something together.

Fans of Murderbot and Becky Chambers (maybe more Wild-Built than Wayfarer) will likely find something to enjoy here, though the edges are very soft indeed. I found myself wishing for a little more depth on the antagonists, and a little less Moderator Ex Machina in the wrap up. Might’ve made a stronger argument for collectives and against authoritarianism if the ones they were fighting with and securing help from were more people-shaped.

A delightful read regardless.
