(Review)

Earthflown is a masterpiece.

I’ve been waiting for this book since 2021 when I reached out to Frances and inserted myself into their lives like a PEST. But, I have zero regrets because Earthflown was an incomparable gem. I adored it.

There are so many aspects of this book that were masterfully handled but I have to highlight the CHARACTERS. Never in my life have I characters who felt as if they were beyond that simple term, though in Earthflown, these characters were actual ✨people✨ who I grew to care for and wanted to proteccccccc. Their banter was INSANE, one of a KIND. Also, Frances artistically flawed each and every character to a point where you are viscerally reacting to each and every one of them and their decisions throughout the story. Dear god, it feels so damn authentic.

Speaking of characters, Ethan and Jav were adorable AND stressful. Their relationship is created from a rocky place and you are pulling out your hair trying to understand if it their relationship will sink or float the entire time and it was delightfully torturous. My friend and I ATE 👏🏽 IT 👏🏽 UP 👏🏽.

The tritagonist (Ollie) was also amazing. His last chapter is playing on LOOP in my head as we speak. But I loved having the contrasting POV to our protagonists where we go from romance and skepticism to conspiracies, investigations, and different skepticism lol. Ollie was a strong, strong character and I cannot wait to see more of him.

The writing style of this book is insane. Frances is such a beautiful writer. She really played with our emotions and took us for a ride with her storytelling—won’t say how it’s a bit spoilery—but just know you won’t be disappointed.

Lastly, the world building was amazing. A futuristic London with unique architecture and sci-fi elements? Love it. Loved it loved it. This world was one of a kind. Side note, I’d love to know more about the levels, especially the lower ones!

Thank you so much Frances for letting me read this one early after hovering over you for two years. I can absolutely say the wait was 200% WORTH IT.

READ IT IN MAY WHEN ITS OUT 👏🏽
