astarions_bhaal_babe 's review for:

Unearthed by Meagan Spooner, Amie Kaufman

3.0

---

When we allow ourselves to explore, we discover destinations that were never on our map.

Not to be dramatic or anything but if this doesn't live up to its Indiana Jones in space claim, I'm gonna cry.


Edit: I'm not crying, but this definitely wasn't Indiana Jones in space, either.

What I loved the most about this book, was obviously the writing. It's no secret that both Kaufman and Spooner are among my favorite authors in terms of prose, but I found the plot to be a little too slow for this kind of book.
Sure, Mia and Jules' journey was pretty entertaining as were their interactions, but I felt like something was missing and I found the world-building slightly confusing at first.
I still loved the twists and some of the action scenes, but I expected it to be more adventurous, if you know what I mean.


ACTUAL RATINGS 3,5/5



#PenguinOnATBRMission: book #14

◾this hashtag is something I self-indulgently created for fun when I decided to thin out my immense tbr list as a new years resolution starting from books I added on GR back in 2017/2018/2019, and since I can't seem to do anything quietly and I'm well known for being an overachiever, I had to go and turn it into an official thing. Feel free to check out the shelf with the same name if you don't mind keeping up with this insanely over-hyped adventure I got myself into. Take it as a chance to rediscover some books from a few years ago that might have accidentally flown under your radar, or to simply share with another fellow reader your very own reading experience. Happy reading and stay penguin-y!◾
