I wolfed this one down in three days. I had a bit of trouble getting into the story at first, but then the pace quickened (and the death toll grew bigger) and I couldn't stop reading.
The format was very original and funny to read. The dialogues in the chats were sometimes hilarious, sometimes touching, and were my favourite to read.
I really enjoyed the plot-twists as well, especially the Ezra-is-dead one, and I was a bit disappointed when a/Kady miraculously recovered from the Alexander destruction and b/we found out that Ezra was alive as well. I mean, I love those guys and I'm glad I can read about them too in Gemina, but I think I would have liked it even more if they had their tragic, star-crossed lovers end, both as heroes.

The mixed-media format was very enjoyable and the audiobook was amazing!
Something constantly was happening, most of the time several things at the same time. No pause to rest, what an experience.
Not sure if I'd have liked it if it had been written the traditional way, but we'll never know since the format the authors chose was perfect.
