This book is probably the best Sci fi book I've ever read. That's to say, I haven't read many, and I'm not a huge fan of sci fi, but this book is amazing. So many twists and turns, sprinkled with just the right amount of humor. The characters are really likable. Well researched and everything. The design and drawings are awesome. I didn't think it could get better after Illuminae, but here it is. Must read.

I actually took quite a long time to really get into this, a month and a half to be exact. It took me a month and a half to get through the first two-hundred pages for reasons I don't know. I was truly enjoying the book but I just didn't have much time to pick it up. When I found out it was due to the library the next day, I read the remaining 450 pages in four hours. And I loved every second of it.

I loved how this story continued on the first while still giving us new characters and a new story. I liked both Nik and Hanna, the main characters, just as much as Kady and Ezra from Illuminae. I think the plot twists were well done, the story went at breakneck speed with not much of a slowdown, and it was overall an amazing read for me and I definitely recommend it to everyone who read the first book and enjoyed it.

Not quite as intriguing as the first installment in the series but still good! Interesting plot points and characters are lovable. I’m excited to see how things combine and wrap up in the third book.

The best one in the series, in my opinion. The rising tension is well-handled, and I love that they actually recorded snippets of the lollipop song for the audiobook.
