So ... this book?
It is difficult to explain all the feelings and sensations that awakens us!
Question: Do you want to travel in a book? Then accept this with open hands!
The ease and subtlety that the author has in writing the fiction between a romance with the two young couple is incredible. I can assure you two things: the unpredictable and harrowing waits for you!
The density of the characters is to delight, you will gradually discover the weaknesses and strengths of each one, even a machine! Can you believe?! Well, be very sensitive to this reading...
It was the book that I leafed the most in life! I felt like a little detetive behind everything! Beyond this whole history this brings you files and other immensities of documents that help you to fit the pieces of this incredible story!!
By having this book you have a "little world" waiting for you to be unveiled. So go ahead!!!!
Happy readings :)

Unique and interesting concept which made for a quick reading experience. Would have been a 3⭐️ but the ending upped my rating by half a ⭐️.
WOW wow wow. Kaufman and Kristoff made something really special here, the Sci-Fi epistolary style is so bleeding edge for Young Adult fiction it hurt in a few places.
I'm a big fan of "ergotic" literature, and this novel is a fantastic example of how accessible the sub genre can be. Can't wait for the next in the series.
The characters and action never faltered, the twists and turns felt surprising in a good way, I cheered and lamented and hoped in every sentence. Bravo, truly.

Wow. What a book. Great read.
Rating: 4.5 Stars
The Good:
Before I start raving about this book, let me tell you how hesitant I was to read it. I really wasn’t sure I was going to like it because of the format and the fact that it was a space adventure (two things I’m very picky about.) Let me tell you I was pleasantly surprised!
Anyway, the book! What a story! This book follows a whole bunch of documents about two megacorporations fighting and the people who are caught in the crossfire. This book has a really great plot. It is fast paced, intriguing, and keeps you guessing to the end which is fantastic.
One of the things I absolutely loved was the moral quandaries there are within the book. People having to make decisions that weren’t perfect or good by any means but with the idea of ‘the greater good’ pushing them towards these decisions.
I really enjoyed the pace, I liked that I could put it down but I didn’t want to. I liked all the different elements to it and I really like Kady and Ezra, the two main characters that we follow. I’m really intrigued for what the sequel, Gemina, is going to be like. Katy and Ezra are perfectly sarcastic and I loved every second of it.
The Bad:
I actually don’t have any issues with this book. In some parts I was a little confused, but that is just me and so I would suggest you read this when you are alone so there are no distractions. The only other thing is some people will hate the layout but I enjoyed how different it was.
The Interesting:
The book doesn’t read like a novel. It is a bunch of documents that you have to follow along with from a range of sources. This is what’s called the Illuminae File and you get used to the layout after a while. I absolutely loved it because it was so different to anything I’ve read before.
The more I think about this book and all the things that happened in it, the more I love it. It was so incredibly unique.
Recommended for:
Everyone! But specifically Young Adult lovers who particularly love fantasy and space adventures. But if you love romance this would work too. Or adventure. Or mystery. Ok, everyone, read this book!
Quotes:
“I am frequently underestimated. I think it’s because I’m short.”
“Ezra: And then I said it.
Interviewer: What did he say?
Kady Grant: He said, ‘You picked a hell of a day to dump me, Kades.”
