I saw a lot more of the twists coming this time, but that can also be satisfying. And overall it was a fascinating read, I feel like I learned something new.

"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.'

May 2021 - 5 stars
I'm scratching my head, wondering why I gave this 4 stars the first time around? This was incredible!
I am still completely in love with the mixed-media formatting of this series: it kept me engaged, and intrigued with the turn of every page. Although I enjoyed Kady and Ezra more in Illuminae, Hanna and Nik were still very fun to read from (and their tension? *chef's kiss*) Ella was a great character as well, as were our villains Falk and Rapier! I can't wait to see how this series ends!
