I can't believe this series. Just when I thought "meh, this isn't as good as the first one, it's not as twisty" I get a huge twist thrown at me.

"good luck, hannah donnelly. the universe itself depends on you. ...no pressure."

i didn't like this one as much as i liked illuminae, but hannah and nik have quickly made their way into my favorite battle couples of all time. right next to kady and ezra and AIDAN, in fact. huh. funny how that works out.

best character is by far ella. sorry AIDAN, still love you more than anything, but i love me a sassy hacker genius. she and hannah and nik are the girlbosses of all time.

all in all, gemina is definitely an excellent follow-up to illuminae. can't wait to get my hands on obsidio!

(once again, heed the content warnings. this one's just as violent as the first, now with added drug use.)

'and waiting for her on the other side? just like he promised.

'a whole sky of different stars.'
