Review by: Mayte VDB
1/5 stars
I originally picked up this book because I read a series named Wings by this author, and absolutely loved it. This book was quite the opposite.
Earthbound is about a girl named Tavia Michaels who is the sole survivor of a plane crash. She is grief stricken and recovering from brain damage. When all of a sudden a strange boy appears. Her life changes completely, and she finds out terrible and wondrous things.
This book started off okay actually. The characters seemed nice and interesting. However they soon started to become annoying, selfish, and bland. There were very many parts (way too many) in this book when absolutely nothing was happening. Tavia would simply think about the same things as she thought about in the previous chapter(s). The writing style wasn't anything special. However the love triangle might have been the worst part. I didn't like either of the romances, since neither boy was interesting, and the main character kept changing her mind. A good point about this book was the creativity. The story in itself was imaginative and interesting.
Overall this book was quite boring and took a lot of effort to get through. I read this book till the end because I thought it would get better. It didn't. I recommend reading Wings by Aprilynne Pike, if you liked this, because it's (Wings) so much better.
