asterein:We’ve grown together our whole lives; branches from the same root; lungs from the same breath.My + @francesthewren ’s illustrated novel Earthflown is now listed on Goodreads! ⭐️Please add to your “to read”, it would mean a lot!Earthflown is a scifi with a magical twist, exploring the water crisis, love and found-family through gay + romance + crime. It will be out in ebook + paperback! You can read the prologue and subscribe for bonus art and notified about the book launch (with limited free ebook!).One of my favorite things about Earthflown is the character relationships and flaws, and how grounded and human they are! I see Earthflown as many love stories, not just the main romance (which is wonderfully developed), but also found family love, complicated family love, and friendship love. I like seeing flawed people trying their best to communicate, improve themselves, and help each other be better as well. I fell in love with these characters and their colorful personalities (and how hilarious they are at times; the dialogue is exceptional). And I feel like the setting (and all the details in the worldbuilding) help the characters feel like they really are living? The world around them affects their personal and work lives and their backgrounds offer different views on medical ethics, environment and wealth disparity. I feel like it’s an enjoyable read - it’s full of humor and fluff and angst and heartwrenching moments, and it deals with many topics in an intelligent, nuanced, but not overly preachy way.
