Obsidio (The Illuminae Files #3) by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff - Restarting April 17th 2023

[Ashley]

Chap 44/180 on audio
(view spoiler)[ I really like Asha and Rhys so far, I can't wait to see how they bring down Beitech (assuming Rhys agrees to work with them, but how could he not)

I felt bad for AIDAN when they blew up that part of himself on the Hypatia (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley]

Chap 78/180 audio
(view spoiler)[ I can't believe AIDAN killed all those people. Well can but its still bad, even though he probably saved everyone else from dying. At least he spared the little baby. I don't want him to be shut down though, I'm going to miss him! (hide spoiler)]

[Heather]

Totally didn’t finish again I got sidetracked with another book. Hoping to finish it this week though

[Ashley]

Chap 128/180
(view spoiler)[ Is that really going to be it for Asha and Rhys?? I'm really hoping not, I hope he cools down and starts helping her again. I am so bummed. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley]

Chap 153/180
(view spoiler)[ I am so happy the thing with Rhys wasn’t what I thought! I’m dying of happiness. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley]

end
(view spoiler)[ OMG I was dying when I thought Ezra and Nik were gone. I kept hoping that they were coming back and then gave up hope and then they were with the parachute!! I feel so sad for AIDAN. I'm glad he isn't dead but he is all alone (hide spoiler)]

[Gillian]

@Ashley I will start this asap, as I was away camping for easter and got my books mixed up read the wrong ones first opps

[Lee]

25% (view spoiler)[ I'm not sure how to feel about Rhys and Asha yet, but I do think I like them? I definitely don't know if he should have shown the tattoo, even if it was faded. (hide spoiler)]
50% (view spoiler)[ Welp. Aiden just killed a bunch of people. Definitely should have seen that coming. Though, I did feel kind of sad when Kady took him offline. Kind of sad. (hide spoiler)]
73% (view spoiler)[ Rhys seems to believe that Asha has betrayed him which I'm hoping is false. Isaac is a precious bean and if he doesn't survive all of this I'm going to be really, REALLY sad. Everyone needs to stop saying goodbye to one another because it's really making me anxious!! (hide spoiler)]
84% (view spoiler)[ He saved the cat. 😭 (hide spoiler)]
90% (view spoiler)[ This is getting painful. Make it stop. (hide spoiler)]
Finished (view spoiler)[ That was so freakin' good. I thought that was a wonderful ending to the series. Though, I do wish that it didn't end quite as happy as it did. (hide spoiler)]

[✦ Maica ✦]

20%
(view spoiler)[Carter's sacrifice really broke my heart. He's still so young only 52, and to die on his birthday as well. He will be remembered as a hero. (hide spoiler)]

[✦ Maica ✦]

50%

(view spoiler)[ I'm not surprised that Aiden killed a lot of people. The moment he was placed in the Mao's system and the problem with overpopulation became apparent I knew he would do it. (hide spoiler)]

[✦ Maica ✦]

55%

(view spoiler)[ I hate Ben. I really do but I hope they won't kill him because as unreliable as he may be he's a good person. He wants the best for the fleet. (hide spoiler)]

[✦ Maica ✦]

89%

(view spoiler)[Poor baby Katya. I hope they find a way to save her. If they don't I don't know how Asha will live with herself. (hide spoiler)]

Ello!

[Alex]

Hey!

[Maddie]

Yay! Can't wait for next month XD More of a chill month but I'm going to actually get lots more reading done in the first week because I'm just sitting at home. Going to try for a book a day.

[Alex]

Can't wait too! <3 Good luck with a book a day! Sounds exciting. xD

[Maddie]

XD Yeah well we'll see how that goes. Not very realistic because I'll play games instead.

[Sara]

Just finished and it was incredible. (view spoiler)[ 1. AIDAN. The character development, calling itself a monster, and believing Kady would be better without it in the end. 2. The parachute. What a twist. 3. Nik = main footage summary analyst. Didn't see it coming at all, but a great touch. 4. The "epilogue" in the restaurant scene was a nice way to wrap it up. Overall, a great read. I definitely have to reread the first two now, especially to hear Nik's voice in the footage summaries. (hide spoiler)]

That's how I feel too!

Andrea wrote: "Finished [spoilers removed]"

Yes, same!
(view spoiler)[ The parachute was so perfect. It was so well tied together and the plot felt so well thought out. It was amazing. I'm just curious as to who was the other "new" footage summary analyst. Hanna? Any thoughts? (hide spoiler)]

[Alex]

Sorry for starting a bit late! Planning on starting this week. ●︿●

[Maddie]

It's my next read but I just don't have time to start it. Study's crushing me.

I know right!

I can't remember a thing about Gemina, and I honestly thought that (view spoiler)[the whole Kerenza survivor thing was in there, hence why I wasn't too surprised. I feel like nothing's happening yet. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Aly wrote: "Page 150 [spoilers removed]"

I think I'm one of the only people who actually views AIDAN as a girl XD Even with a name like AIDAN, which is really strange. As soon as they mentioned AI in the first book, my head jumped to a girl's voice, and it's stuck.

[Maddie]

Andrea wrote: "~17% [spoilers removed]"

I don't see how everyone gets so invested in these characters XD I actually still feel like 27% in nothing much is happening. I suppose I just can't get into the story. Can't remember a thing about Gemina. But I gave Illuminae 5 stars XD No idea what's going on. I want to listen to them on audio at some point too.

[Maddie]

Melany wrote: "18% [spoilers removed]"

Yeah I know I'm not feeling them either :/ This denial incoming is going to piss me off.

[Maddie]

Right I've commented on the posts throughout the whole thread XD I'll continue to do so as well as I go. Stopping for more study now. Glad to just finally have started.

[Maddie]

Jenn wrote: "33%: [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[Tbh Garver still really really frustrates me, but then again what can he do? I'd do the same thing if I had friends starving to death.
And yeah they'll all die! I can't believe Kady just asks AIDAN to 'figure it out, it'll be fine'. I mean, I suppose they can't all panic, but still. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Andrea wrote: "About 30% [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[I agree! It's clear that he's telling the truth, but girls just see what they want to see. It's never the guy overreacting, always the girl. (hide spoiler)]

Gemina was absolutely my favorite book of the series hands down. It took me a while to warm up to Rhys, but I like Asha pretty quickly. I loved everyone else so it was easy to get into their parts

He was always a computer to me but with a male voice narrating. But not actually human if that makes sense?

Ahhh true true. I mean all of these characters totally have license to overreact in their situations regardless of gender lol

Yeah that makes sense but I can't make a gender-neutral voice in my head XD

Kind of slipped back a bit. We are planning a trip to America for start of next year though, just who knows. I'm not sure.

Oh Where are you going in America!? One of my other friends who lives in Australia is coming here over Christmas and I am super stoked to finally meet her :D

[Maddie]

We wanna go typical places, LA, Vegas and Florida (for HP World). He's never been before. I've been to Vegas and LA twice.

[Maddie]

Sounds like me going to Sydney Writer's Festival this year XD I got to meet Shae and it was soooo amazing.

I have been to neither of those places O.o

Yeah that sounded so cool!

[Maddie]

Disneyland's so sweet, and just all of the decoration and over-the-topness that is Vegas XD Kane'll turn 21 when we're over there, and that night he wants to go gambling in Vegas, so we're trying to make that happen :p
