It was by no means bad, it just wasn’t mind-blowing or amazing.

However, I found this pretty disappointing. I thought each book in this series would get better and better, as I liked Gemina more than Illuminae. I had way too high expectations for this book. With time running out, a final battle will be waged on land and in space, heroes will fall, and hearts will be broken. When Rhys–an old flame from Asha’s past–reappears on Kerenza, the two find themselves on opposite sides of the conflict. Meanwhile, Kady’s cousin, Asha, survived the initial BeiTech assault and has joined Kerenza’s ragtag underground resistance. With the jump station destroyed and their resources scarce, the only option is to return to Kerenza–but who knows what they’ll find seven months after the invasion? Kady, Ezra, Hanna and Nik narrowly escaped with their lives from the attacks on Heimdall station and now find themselves crammed with 2,000 refugees on the container ship, Mao. 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.*This review is spoiler-free but there may be spoilers for book 1 and 2* As Kady plunges into a web of data hacking to get to the truth, it’s clear only one person can help her bring it all to light: Ezra.

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 biggest threat and nobody in charge will say what’s really going on. Now, with enemy fire raining down on them, Kady and Ezra are forced to fight their way onto one of the evacuating craft, with an enemy warship in hot pursuit.īut the warship could be the least of their problems.

Kady thought breaking up with Ezra was the worst thing she’d ever been through.
