A review by mugglemom
Unearthed by Meagan Spooner, Amie Kaufman
3.0
2.5 stars. Aw man-I’m bummed as I’ve been waiting for this new release! The authors SLAYED in the Starbound trilogy but didn’t quite make the hyperjump with Unearthed. It feels like they started writing this book many years before the Starbound trilogy, lost interest or got hooked on the other novels, only to stumbled back on this while cleaning and decided to finish it up.
This seems like it was written for young teens or a new audience.
The twist at the end is the best part of this book and ends with a cliffhanger.
A lot of things didn’t work for me: super low key sci-fi ; like they can decipher an alien message on a new planet, but still write in journals, use walkie-talkies and in general don’t seem to have much futuristic technology while on a new world, with the exception of a much-admired camping stove. Jules character; middle-class Indiana Jones & Astronaut Chef. Eyerolling romance.
I’m disappointed but it is still an ok book. For me, this is like riding a bicycle after you’ve just gotten out of a learjet.
