One thought on “Unearthed”

1. I totally understand the pitch of Indiana Jones in space , because YES Also you know that dumb iphone game Temple Run This is Temple Run but the occasionally stop and make delicious snacks Anyway Overall I thought the story was fun It s not super deep or ever very scary, but the characters were great I just unravelled for the sole reason that reading about people running through booby traps and sorting mathematical puzzles ist thing I was a little bored Just a smidge.L I K E S I loved the whole [...]

3. It s easy for the international alliance to say they ll be careful on Gaia It s easy for them to dismiss the warnings from the Undying, the stories of their own civilization s downfall But the human race has been dismissing the decline of our planet and the destruction of its resources for centuries now We ve gotten pretty good at it.This book is entertaining and nothing Honestly, my feelings here were basically a extreme version of my feelings on Warcross earlier this year good potential, ent [...]

4. This really was like Indiana Jones in space With a bit of Doctor Who maybe I used to say I m reallllly not a sci fi person, but Amie Kaufman made me second guess that with Illuminae And here we go again I m actually starting to like spaceThe idea of the story is pretty simple when you look back on it, but there are so many twists and things to solve while reading that it feels like a huge adventure I think the characters were what really made this story so strong for me They both get a POV, so y [...]

5. 3.5 StarsAmie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner team back up for the first time since their Starbound series Taking place on a distant planet, this story follows Jules and Mia as the navigate the temples of an extinct alien species who ironically were called the Undying Basically it started out Indiana Jones in space and somehow turned into Doctor Who The plot itself is fun These are the sort of zany, broad spectrum adventures that make me love sci fi And the interesting take on exploring a new planet [...]

6. I was beyond excited when I got a review copy of this book I wanted to read it right away and only with major restraint was I able to wait closer to the publication date Ive been obsessed with Scifi lately and the premise of a treasure hunting adventure on an alien planet sounded like a lot of fun After 2 very different teenagers, a scavenger and a scholar sneak onto this dangerous alien planet they decide to team up to evade deadly treasure hunters and make it through a trapped filled maze Each [...]

10. It took me soooooooooooooooooo long to get through this book I was bored out of my mind the entire time I never fully got into the story, but at some point I stopped falling asleep on myself that s 100% legit the first three times I attempted to read even a few chapters, I fell asleep Maybe I m just overworked I don t think that s entirely the case though It s not a BAD book, just really boring in the first half Review posted on The Eater of Books blog Unearthed by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spoone [...]

11. Trigger warnings violence, death, explosions, mentions ofrced prostitution I guess that s the best way to refer to it So here s the thing this, other than The Upside of Unrequited, was my most anticipated book of the year from the moment that I read the first chapter in one of those chapter sampler bind ups at the start of the year I was hooked from page 1, and I knew that I was going to love this for the following reasons Archaeology my undergrad degree is in archaeology In space I am trash for [...]

13. GUYS THIS BOOK IS SO GOOD YOU ALL NEED TO DROP EVERYTHING AND GO READ IT It s really cool There was no way that any book could live up to the description of Indiana Jones in outer space, BUT IT DID This book was absolutely incredible.Characters were great Nothing atypical, but I honestly didn t care Jules and Mia were fabulous I really liked how they were intelligent, excelling in linguistics and maths respectively They were not especially unique, but I loved this detail and the pair of them non [...]

14. THIS WAS AMAZING Love love love Mia and Jules She smart and sassy and he s a British scholar and together they re adorable I love getting dual POV and each of them were charismatic characters who were easy to root for Plus there s some kissing and deliciously long glances when the other one isn t looking Plot wise, it s like a scavenger hunt x a million There s so much on the line for Mia and Jules, that it really made for some excellent tension The story starts off with a bang and doesn t let g [...]

17. 2.5 of 5 stars at The BiblioSanctum bibliosanctum 2018 01 07 I felt I gave this one a fair shot, despite everything from end of year burnout to post vacation blues seeming to conspire against me In the end, this was simply not the engaging tomb raiding adventure on an alien planet that I was expecting, and mostly found myself bored and unable to see why this book couldn t be half the length with the same plot content.The story begins on Gaia, a far flung planet discovered when a message was inte [...]

19. Onward if you dare A WHOLE UNIVERSE OF SPARKLY EXPLODING STARS Honestly the best book I ve read this year so far I was a little hesitant to pick it up only because sci fi novels aren t always for me, but this book brain explodes Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner really outdid themselves on this well thought out, jaw dropping, wild ride of a book I finished it and immediately wanted to go back to the beginning and read it all again I also read it in one sitting, and if you dont know by now, those o [...]

20. 3.5 It was pretty good I liked a majority of it but did have moments where my attention wondered I love s so many of the aspects of this book, such as the archeology feel, being in space on a new planet, and those last few chapters Oh the last few chapters are full of oh no moments, but the good oh no moments I have seen a lot of reviews talking about the Indiana Jones like, this I cannot say because I have not seen the movies but from what I loosely know on the movie premise, I can see why peop [...]

25. We may be the only ones who think that braving a series of crumbling death traps is proof of good decision making This was so entertaining I really enjoyed reading this book and think that everyone who liked loved Starbound trilogy will be into this one as well I liked both of the characters Especially Jules Such a sweet, sweet extremely idealistic nerd their banter and interactions were fun although I m not yet sold on the romance aspect , the plot, while being for the most part only about Indi [...]

28. When I heard that Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner had teamed up for another sci fi series after their much loved Starbound series, I was IN And these amazing ladies did not disappoint with Unearthed In Unearthed we have our home planet, Earth, no longer being sustainable, which forces exploration to find new habitable worlds Instead, the non livable world of Gaia is found along with ancient archeological finds and some amazing high tech which can help the Earth s environmental problems Enter Mia [...]

29. Fans of Amie and Meagan s previous trilogy will enjoy this book, it s a fast paced and light SF that is focused predominantly on romance The premise is interesting but the plot unraveled in a very predictable manner Very limited world building despite the fact that it s set on an alien planet, perhaps it will be embellished in the sequel.
