Book Review: Dunamys: Foreign by Carlos G. Moreno

“There is more, Will. So much more. Many worlds, many wonders. But the best place ever, beyond those worlds, exceeds your imagination. You will encounter many dangers on the journey there. Are you ready for the challenge?”

Carlos G. Moreno

Review:

This is a series that I began out of order. I meant to get to this book shortly after reading book two… alas, my time management skills are terrible. But the wait was worth it! 

During a family outing, the Morant family encounters a fallen object, which turns out to be a spaceship. They are given a warning by the pilot that Earth is in danger and that its end is coming soon. It takes years for siblings Jen and Will to make sense of this warning and experience. When they do, it becomes clear that their new friend Joshua has a connection to their encounter and that their time on Earth is limited. They’re tasked with trying to convince their loved ones to board a spaceship that will bring them to a new home, but government interference makes this a challenge. 

I had as much fun with this book as I did with the second. I do wish I’d read them in order, but it didn’t hinder my enjoyment, thankfully. In a way, my brain read this like a prequel. It was nice to revisit these characters and get a deeper appreciation of their backstory. 

I read a review copy of Dunamys: Adrift through Reedsy Discovery a while back, and the author generously included this book with it. I was not expected to read and review this book as well, but I felt that I should mention that I obtained my copy through Reedsy/the author.

Likes & Dislikes:

What I liked:

• Great pacing and a good balance of character and action.
• Spiritual themes.

What I didn’t like:

• It’s very dialogue-heavy.

Afterthoughts:

Thanks again to the author for including book one with book two!
