Obsidio is the third book in the illuminae Files series by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff. I really enjoyed the journey that we went on to uncover the rest of the story with
the Betech corporation
attacking the mining planet Kerenza IV and the Heimdal jump station. 

One thing that really bothered me was the argument that kept getting used by the soldiers to justify their actions. Various soldiers and even characters who weren't planet side were basically saying that the citizens of Kerenza IV deserved what was happening to them (they were being starved, murdered, and sexually harassed by the soldiers) because they were there on the planet holding an illegal mining operation in the first place. That' is a BS argument and justification and I wanted to scratch my eyes out every time I heard someone say "but the citizens were here illegally anyways."

The book is long ending at 615 pages and there were some parts that seemed to drag on and on. I honestly don't think the story could have been any shorter because we would have ended up not getting certain information that was vital to the story. I understand why it was as long as it was, I just needed the boring parts to not be so boring. 

Overall this book did not disappoint. This was an action packed sci fi and I'm happy I read the series. I give this 5 out of 5 stars
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

There was just too much going on. Too many side stories and too much drama that is all handled way too easily. So easy that these dangerous and life threatening situations don't feel as authentic as they have before. Plus, I didn't really feel any connection to the new main characters introduced and found their "reconnection" a little laughable considering all the war happening around them. 
Did I still enjoy this? Yes. I also wish that it had a better ending. I would have liked to see more of the court transcripts from the tribunal against BeiTech and I would have liked a different conclusion for AIDAN. Still a solid story, I think I just had higher expectations because I adore the first two books in this series.
