A secret buried for generations. A conspiracy that threatens humanity’s future. And one woman who must risk everything to uncover the truth. The THETIS is humanity’s last hope: a generation ship carrying the last remnants of Earth to resettle on a new planet. For two hundred years, its society has flourished under the banner of unity and cooperation. But beneath this carefully maintained facade lurks a truth so devastating it could spell doom for their entire future on their new home. The key to uncovering the truth lies in the hands of SANDRINE LIET, an introverted Archivist who has everything to lose by pitting herself against the most powerful people on the ship. The deeper she digs, the more evident it becomes that there is only one way to save both herself and her fellow Thetans from the ominous scheme plotted by the Thetis elite – and it’s the most horrifying choice imaginable… (Goodreads)
My thoughts
Narrative and Plot
Generations is told from the main character Sandrine’s perspective. We get to know the world, its history, and its legacy all through her eyes. Being a methodist and a stickler for rules, Sandrine can be a frustrating character for those around her, but that actually makes her an interesting storyteller.
The pacing of the book had its ups and downs. It wasn’t slow, but it tended to pivot from the main storyline to past events, and as a reader already invested in the current plot, you just want to move forward quickly. Other than that, this was a near-perfect read.
Characters and Conflicts
Generations is equally character- and plot-driven. We see growth in each of the characters, not just the protagonist, and that’s good storytelling. The book is visually imaginative in its grandeur and setting, yet it never strays from the emotional core of the story. It carries those emotions throughout and makes us feel for the characters.
Of course, the villains could have been a bit more layered instead of the classic evil, moustache-twirling goons but that’s just a minor flaw. The central conflict was well-constructed, making it a harrowing hero’s journey for Sandrine. However, the ending could have been more satisfying. Not that it was bad, but it did feel a little abrupt.
Conclusion
Overall, I was thoroughly entertained while reading Generations. It’s a long book, but it went by quickly. Also, the author has a free soundtrack on Spotify. A nice bonus if you want to immerse yourself completely in the story.
I’m no sci-fi expert, but if you’re an occasional sci-fi reader like me, I’d definitely recommend this one.
