Just as good as the first time even though the major plot twist was already known to me! Love this series. 10 year anniversary this year and was time for a reread since I haven't read them in 8 years.

There may be some of you not "hip" with the bold and the bookish* bloggers out there, but there's a term for finishing a good book and then feeling emotionally "spent" afterwards: a book hangover.

I would like to add that Illuminae made me feel "book drunk" whilst reading it. I'd be shelving books at my JOB (used bookstore) and be thinking about what was going to happen next to Kady and Ezra. I read it over 3 evenings, and while I could have probably finished it faster, I think I wanted to take the time to enjoy how the story was presented...

I will write a more in-depth review at spinningjennysbookblog.blogspot.ca so please check that out.

Also, you MUST read this in hard-copy format. Many reviewers couldn't see all there was to see when reading the e-book. And then you can hug the book when you're finished.

This is such a fun adventure and I can't wait to read the other books in this trilogy. I love the character growth of AIDAN, and I love the format that the book is written in. And I just think space travel is so cool.
