You ever read a book that was so F***ING AMAZING you had to pause, wipe tears from your eyes, catch your breath, and just sit in AWE when it was over? All of that from a YA book I bought for the little! I can't even...

Omg, this book is so strange but when you read it, you can only think that "This book is strange", because it is. But I'll look forward for 2nd book.

This is my third or fourth time reading this series, so at this point, I have to say I enjoy it, right? Why else would I read it multiple times?

It's not my favorite book of all times, but it's easy to read, doesn't require total mental capacity, and is just a fun variety of a book. 

goddamn that was terrifying

absolutely in love with the formatting. It was a wild ride from start to finish and I cannot wait to start the second book gahhhh

Was not too jazzed with the ending, I thought that Kady should have died, it was way too lucky of an ending, you were 1. On a ship where everyone was trying to kill you, 2. In a ship that exploded, 3. Exposed to high levels of Radiation... (YOU SHOULD BE DEAD!) This is what really marked this as a YA book. Despite the ending, I did enjoy the story, it was a quick read and with the formatting, it really did feel like I was a reading a report of something that happened in the past. I bought the next book mainly because I want to see how they are going to continue the story.

Fantastic book! This is my second time reading it in eight years and I still absolutely love it. The love story is a cheesy YA but once you get over the actual story and plot and mystery is absolutely fantastic!

ALL THE FREAKING STARS IN THE UNIVERSE. I don't have the words right now. I am blown away by this story and the revolutionary layout. I was sucked in to it and completely captivated by every aspect. If you haven't read ILLUMINAE yet, do it now chums!!! (I paired the print with the audio and it was absolutely perfect)

Basically if Bioshock were set in space.
