I received a free copy of this book from LibraryThing in exchange for an honest review
This book was a really great mix of genres that made it very unique. It's primarily a Sci-Fi story set on a planet where a solar flare forces our characters to take shelter in an old underground bunker for 4 days. This turns the entire thing into a great 'bottle episode' type structure which a murder-mystery style plot as members of the group are murdered one by one and the survivors try to figure out what is g ...more

_Under Falling Skies_ is a bit of a mystery wrapped in a science fiction package. It was engaging as a study in behavior, particularly of women characters under strain.
Set on a planet experiencing solar flares that make life too dangerous above ground, we follow the story of a girl named Scout, a female traveler with body modifications named Warrior, and the women they meet inside their refuge.

Don’t think of this book as a Science Fiction story or you will be disappointed. I went into it not even reading the summary. This is a mixture of character study, and locked room mystery, all set in a slightly sci-fi world. I listened to the audiobook and really enjoyed it. It could have been longer, more depth, and background, and even with a better ending but I found it entertaining. And there were dogs in it so that was good.
Except for the twist at the end, this was actually a huge amount of fun!
2,5⭐️? I didn’t really get a feel for the MC so I couldn’t really care what happened, but it wasn’t bad.
I loved this book. The characters were great, the story unfolded at the perfect pace, especially toward the end when it becomes a real page turner. Can't wait to read the rest of the series.
