(Listened to on Audible)
Holy moly. I love this book even more! The audible was amazing! I didn't think I'd like the whole audio book thing. I didn't think I would like it. But I LOVED it! It was honestly one of the best desicions I've ever made in my life. 100000000 % would recommend both this book and its audio book! Especially if you find the written format difficult to get into.

Oh my gosh. This. Book. *flails*
Like many people, I hesitated to go into this one because of both the hype surrounding the book and the unique format.
I'm glad I was told to just jump in.... this is one of my favourite reads so far in 2018. Easily. Flew past the rest.
At first it was a little confusing, but after like 20 pages I was being sucked into a black hole. I read this book in one sitting. It swallowed my soul. Someone send help....Please....

Everything was so well written, and some of the formats that were used for specific scenes worked SO WELL!!!!
And can we talk about AIDAN!! HE'S SO PRECIOUS! Bit evil, no ones perfect... *aggressive whispering* except maybe AIDAN....
He was doing his best... gota give all the points to him... it...

I recommend everyone go pick this book up..... right now if you can. I personally am not one for sci-fi, but this book you guys...... *octopus flail* Pick it up...... just grab it. read it. hug it. cry on it. and then obsessively try and snag Gemina from somewhere because thiS ISN'T THE END!!! THERE IS MOOOOOOORE!!!!!!

This book made me cry, it made me laugh. All round I am now a mess... so I'm going to go read Gemina now..... how much worse can this get... *knowing laughter*
