Gemina by Jay Kristoff, Amie Kaufman
5.0
Wooooowwww. Incredible.
I read Illuminae over 2 years ago, so while I remember loving it, that's about all I remember. So I went into this with zero expectations except for the hope that I would love this one as much.
And i did! It was so good. I absolutely love the format of these series, it's unique, I've never read anything like it before and it makes for an incredible reading experience. It truly makes it feel like you are experiencing everything that is occurring rather than simply reading about it.
I think I love Hanna and Nik even more than Kady and Ezra, which is a lot. I love both of them as characters, they were both so badass and I really enjoyed following them. Their banter together was also incredible. There were also so many other characters I loved, specifically Ella. She was spunky, sarcastic, and I loved reading her parts.
Gemina was so action packed, and I feel like it didn't settle down for even a second. It was close to impossible for me to put the book down because there was always something going on that had me on the edge of my seat.
There were also a couple twists that had my jaw on the floor. One thing in particular I didn't see coming at ALL and made the stakes so much higher!
Absolutely can't wait to finish this series!
