《Book reviews *Requests Closed*》'What We Left Behind' by stxrkissed

Advertisement

In this Science-Fiction story, a girl called Fei Hong leaves Earth behind with her grandmother; the planet has been doing badly for a while, and Fei Hong wants try and start a better life at a planet called Erisua, where there are more opportunities for her. However, when a deadly virus that had already taken its root on Earth reaches Erisua too, our heroine finds herself threatened.

I'm always a bit sceptical about stories set in space. I guess it's a matter of taste, but I seem to like the idea of stories set in space better than actual stories set in space (if that makes sense). I thought the story started off a little slow, but when the virus became apparent, I found myself growing more interested! The plot takes some getting used to, but I feel like the readers will be pleasantly surprised.

I liked the diversity of the few characters I've been introduced to, and they feel well-rounded. It will be nice to see how they develop, and I hope their interactions will continue to feel authentic.

The GPS is all okay, and I like the style in which the story is written, though the vocabulary, in my opinion, edges on the very thin line between 'well-thought out' and 'downright pretentious'. No offense to the people reading this, but if any of you makes me read the term 'sun-kissed' again, I will spontaneously transform into the Duolingo Owl and carry out a triple homicide. No pressure, just a warning in advance.

All in all, a very decent and interesting story. Nice job!
