It is unique story telling for sure, but to be honest, i was confused at times and was distracted and uninterested. Nonetheless it was fun at times, i just learned that SciFi isn't really my thing

This was absolutely amazing! I've never read anything like it. I loved AIDAN's perspective, and Ezra and Kady felt real in a way that I didn't expect with this kind of layout.

I enjoyed this book in the sense that the story line was really entertaining and kept me on my toes. It made me laugh and I was able to connect with the characters. The only reason I couldn't go to 4 stars is because it took me too long. But other than that, it was a really cool book to read.

WTF MAN WTF WTF
YESSS YESS YESSSSSS!
IT WAS SO GOOD
THE AUDIOBOOK WAS SO GOOD
THE BOOK IS SOOOO BLOOOODY GOOOD
YYEEESSS YYESSS THATS HOW YOU END A BOOK MAN
YYYYEESSSSS
it was gunna be so depressing
Omg
I dont understand
How
This
Illuminae is so so so so so incredible
So unlike any other book or story
It makes sense
The way its written (or voiced) wow just wow.
Wow.
Yes.
The audiobook experience is incredible. It was my first time so i cant compare it with other audiobooks. But multi-cast, the sound effects. Extremely well done.
At times i read along with the book. The end i did. It's just so wow, i was so prepared to be depressed.
Initially starting the audiobook is slightly confusing. But once you get used to it and you understand, its great.
Kady is just badass in my opinion. I genuinely liked her character. I enjoyed reading/listening to her.
It's such a strange world to be thrown into. But i enjoyed it greatly. I wasnt expecting it to be this good. Not sure what i was expecting honestly.
So glad i chose this as my free audiobook.
Im almost scared but so excited to start the next books.
