A review by justine_ao
Unearthed by Meagan Spooner, Amie Kaufman
3.0
3.5 stars
I thought this was a fun YA SF romance/adventure book that had a Romancing the Stone feel to it.
I've read the Starbound trilogy by Kaufman and Spooner and I felt that my expectations were basically met. I liked the Oxford academic pairs with streets smart scavenger storyline, and I felt that Jules and Mia had pretty good chemistry.
My only complaint is that in parts where the backstory of the discovery and exploration of Gaia and the Undying were given it was a tiny bit repetitive now and then. But it wasn't enough to keep me from enjoying the book.
I listened to this as an audiobook, and while I didn't love the female narrator, I got used to her after a while. Steve West narrated Jules' chapters, and while I do love his voice, it almost seemed a bit too mature for the part. Overall though, I liked it and thought the audiobook was a good way to go.
Of course there is a cliffhanger ending, but luckily the conclusion of this duology just came out! I'll be reading [b:Undying|26839798|Undying (Unearthed, #2)|Amie Kaufman|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1526952654s/26839798.jpg|46874036] very soon.
