Oh, I loved this book! I read it back in November and thought it was great. I was familiar with Amie Kaufman from the Starbound series but had never read Jay Kristoff before...however, I will soon rectify that! Highly recommend Illuminae for fans of YA science fiction.

Here's my full review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I just got ahold of 'Illuminae' today and am already enjoying it. Love teens when I don't have to personally deal with them.

Waiting on pins and needles for book two.

Finished! Awesome read with an extremely suspenseful plot. And I totally did not see that coming (view spoiler)[where Aiden was pretending to be him for so long! Great twist! (hide spoiler)]

This book is in a league of its own. It's damn near perfect. It was confusing at times and sometimes hurt my eyes with the writing style, but I loved every bit of it. I'm still not sure what this book is exactly about but I know I want more of it. Ezra, Kady, and AIDAN. were just awesome. You don't get much of Ezra but he's a strong presence. He's a lovable goofball and I'm happy that (view spoiler)[ he didn't die like AIDAN told Kady he had. I was devastated when I read that. I actually teared up a bit. (hide spoiler)] Kady was annoying but the final showdown definitely had me rooting for her. AIDAN was the anti-hero and I still don't know how I feel about him...it...whatever. All I know is that I am beyond excited for the next book.

I also loved this book! So looking forward to the sequel/s :)
