Does that help?
Thanks so much Sarah! It really did help a lot. Can’t wait to start reading and share my thought with u guys x
I am really curious about this book! I have looked at it many times but was not interested in reading it, but when I saw that the whole story is told through messages, papers and documents, I just had to read it! I can't wait to get started.
Ooo I'm really excited about this book, it has been on my TBR list since 2016. What initially attracted me with the cover because it is soo vibrant. Plus its a dystopian/post apocalyptic book- what's not to love!

In regards to the pre-reading questions posed:- I think this book from what I've heard is very unique, it does follow the typical structure of a "story" it is made up of different files, texts, documents etc.
- Apparently, it has 63 chapters too
I started this book like a week ago and just found this thread. I hope it’s not too late to hop in??
This morning, Kady thought breaking up with Ezra was the hardest thing she’d have to do. This afternoon, her planet was invaded.
The year is 2575, and two rival megacorporations are at war over a planet that’s little more than an ice-covered speck at the edge of the universe. Too bad nobody thought to warn the people living on it. With enemy fire raining down on them, Kady and Ezra—who are barely even talking to each other—are forced to fight their way onto an evacuating fleet, with an enemy warship in hot pursuit.
But their problems are just getting started. A deadly plague has broken out and is mutating, with terrifying results; the fleet's AI, which should be protecting them, may actually be their enemy; and nobody in charge will say what’s really going on. As Kady hacks into a tangled web of data to find the truth, it's clear only one person can help her bring it all to light: the ex-boyfriend she swore she'd never speak to again.
BRIEFING NOTE: Told through a fascinating dossier of hacked documents—including emails, schematics, military files, IMs, medical reports, interviews, and more—Illuminae is the first book in a heart-stopping, high-octane trilogy about lives interrupted, the price of truth, and the courage of everyday heroes.
