I think it sais a lot about a book that I needed to stay up waaaay after my bedtime to finish it!
At first, I didn't feel like it's going to be as great as the first book. You know, sequels don't always meet the expectations. But after some stuff goes loose and basically our heros' (Hannah, the staiton captain's daugther and Nik, member of a criminal gang, House of Knives) lifes turn upside down and the whole situation goes south.. Now then, my friends, begins this spectecular story.
Again, we have this spooky, scary feeling all through the book, which keeps you on edge all the time. Some really detailed differences between the main characters make the conversations interesting. Then comes some backstabbing, and maybe three or four major turns in the flow of the events that make you bite your nails and keep you reading at 2 am. at night.
My favourite part was when the real scientific theories ( I can't tell which ones as that would spoil things for you) came up, and it again brought things closer to me! I'm a nerd, so please forgive me that scientific theories excite me!😁 Two-thirds of the book was a bit disappointing for me in connection with the format. It was a bit boring (not like in Illuminae), but the ending was beautifully constructed! I loved it, and it completed the storytelling in a perfect way!
Of course, at the ending my heart skipped like three beats, and I highly suggest you buy Obsidio before finishing Gemina 'cause maaaan.. Major cliffhanger alert!
I was gaping for a minute thanking all the deities out thier for the fact that I've already bought Obsidio!
