Gemina by Jay Kristoff, Amie Kaufman
5.0
I will admit, I was a little sad to see Kady and AIDAN were not the focus of Gemina, but the new trio, Hanna Donnelly, Nik Malikov and Nik's cousin Ella, more than made up for it with their kick-arse sassiness. The detailing of these characters and their development during the story is amazing and so intriguing to read.
Just like the first book, we had digital chat logs, surveillance commentary and official documentation telling us the story, which I have come to love, though I was not so keen on the language used in the chats between the teenagers. Way to abbreviated and containing way too many simple spelling errors for my liking.
The storyline is structured somewhat similar to the first one in terms of crisis and teenagers being the ones to get stuff done. However, there were differences that make Gemina different from Illuminae while still tying in with the story from the first book. One thing both books definitely succeed at is that they both possess the ability to make you crave more.
I could not find a good reason not to give Gemina 5 stars because it is a work of genius, or rather two geniuses. I cannot wait to get my hands on a copy of Obsidio! Only a few more months to wait!
