Few other fictional authors, in my experience of guzzling YA fiction and queer romance stories, compare to the eloquence and captivation that this author succeeds at. The character dialogues are also frickin’ funny! It’s such a great balance of comedy, angst, and intricate plot that it keeps me highly invested even when I’ve had to take long breaks from reading due to university demands (I can’t even read my textbooks with the same level of consistency that I have for Earthflown).
Another aspect which makes this story fantastic is that the characters have realistic flaws and shortcomings, which makes the story and character dynamics so much more interesting and relatable. Despite each character’s flaws, they don’t make stupid mistakes like we’re used to seeing in YA fiction. Their actions stem from their own experiences, doubts, and motivations, so you’ll always think, “Well, I get why they did that”. It’s refreshing, mature, and very satisfying to read the characters behave as the intelligent, although humanly flawed, beings they are meant to be.
The world setting is quite unique and original, and the environmental and social issues happening in the background are actually pretty relevant for the characters’ lives, which makes it really intriguing when as a reader I can draw parallels between our real world and the fictional world that the author has created. An immense amount of thought and deliberateness was put into the world setting, plot, and characters, which makes it all for a fascinating and rewarding experience to read!
As for the main romantic pair, they are beyond precious. My heart was skipping beats in a way that probably wasn’t healthy from all the fluff and steam. That’s not all that’s to it though; Earthflown also excellently highlights familial and friendship love, which are treated just as (or if not, more) important than romantic love. I am inclined to say, that what this story emphasizes is the love found in companionship, in whatever form that may take.
Do yourself the favor and read this novel once it becomes widely available. You will inevitably fall in love with it. In the meantime, you can check out the website to find out more about it and look at the beautiful art and animations! https://earthflown.com/...more
