This was really fun! I will admit I did lose the plot a little bit in the second half but then we got to the end and I was honestly a lil bit shook lol. Excuse me while I go gobble up all the YA sci-fi that I can get my hands on for the next few weeks bc this was SO FUN
I decided to just power through and read the last half of this book in one sitting. And I'm glad I did. I got to incorrectly guess where everything was headed and how Jules and Mia were going to either get into trouble or get out of it. I'm now anxiously awaiting December and Undying to see how this story is resolved and what that cliffhanger was.
I absolutely love the Illuminae Trilogy that Amie Kaufman co-wrote with Jay Kristoff. So, it is possible I came into this book with a bit higher expectations than I should have had. I liked the premise and the book dives right away into the action. I liked the two main characters individually, but the somewhat angsty drama between them feels a little forced. Perhaps that is the only way they could make the romance part have any weight against the action, horror, and struggle for survival that takes up the rest of the book.
I want to read the next book, but it isn't high on my list....

Man, I was really excited for this book when I heard about it. And it was good. But not as amazing as I was hoping.
Earth is suffering from environmental damage and limited resources when they receive a message from an alien race that went extinct before humans had language. The Undying were advanced beyond anything humans have invented and the people of Earth hoped that this would be the key to reversing the devastation that has ravaged the planet. Jules wants to study this alien culture and Amelia is only interested in earning enough money for herself and her sister. When this unlikely pair ends up stuck with each other, the stakes change and the outcome cannot be predicted.
Unearthed is the first book in a new series with the same title. This science fiction tale is set in the not too distant future when humans realize their mistakes and are trying to find solutions. As most people know, the ends do not always justify the means and our two lead characters discover many shady transactions and not so honest people. Kaufman has created a new storyline that is easy to relate to and readers will quickly find themselves wanting to know what will happen to Jules and Amelia. Readers be forewarned, the ending is not a cliff hanger, but it also will leave you the undeniable need to know what happens next.

DNF’d at about 40%.
There was way to much explaining and monologues the repeated them selves.
Barely any dialogue, and the plot wasn’t good enough to get past the mediocre writing.
I expected a lot coming from reading Amie’s book with Jay Kristoff but was greatly disappointed

Fast paced and super fun, much like their Starbound trilogy.
Very Indiana Jones in space - I'd totally watch this movie! I'm not exactly sure how I feel about the ending but gotta read the sequel I suppose!
All I’m saying is: if you love space and planets and mysteries and romance READ THIS BOOK!!!
This was such a fun read! I didn't want to put this book down at all. I definitely can't wait for the next book in the series.
I met these authors on their book release tour earlier this month, and they are both so friendly. I absolutely loved the Starbound Triology, and can't wait to read more works from these amazing authors!
