Illuminae by Jay Kristoff, Amie Kaufman
4.0
I have many contradicting thoughts about this book.
I liked it a lot.
HOWEVER, I was hoping for a lot more and hence why I’m only giving it 4 stars.
The ILLUMINAE FILES whole idea is genius. A story told through a collection of files? AMAZING. The visuals are so well done and it feels good to have a different kind of book to read.
Thing is, I found myself many times wishing the book to just speed up a bit. Maybe it was because I read it during exams time or because this doesn’t fit exactly on my genre, I don’t know.
I did love Ezra and Kady’s relationship, but because it was all told through files, I feel like I don’t really know these characters, you know?
So I won’t give up on this series! I’ll have to read the second book to really evaluate how I feel about the Illuminae files!
Go read it, tho! It’s not bad, at all. It’s genius 👌🏼🔥
