catarina's Reviews > Earthflown

This was kind of a disjointed mess in general but it makes me happy that the author can write relationships and funny dialogue - it was definitely what kept me interested. My biggest gripes with it were that the pacing needed fixing, and the world and the plot needed a lot more fleshing out. There was just not enough story here for a 450-page book. It was too slice-of-life-y for a sci-fi novel. I know the author lets us know right at the beginning that this book defies the conventions for both the romance and the sci-fi genres, but sticking to those conventions would have been beneficial here: it would have felt less like fanfiction that way. And this might be my fault, but if you asked me to explain what Project Earthflown is, I wouldn't be able to tell you, and the book is named after it!

An overall enjoyable read that could use another round of editing. Or two.
