Illuminae by Jay Kristoff, Amie Kaufman

4.0

Let's just say from the off that this is a really good book. I loved the formatting and the method of storytelling. I found the opening pages really funny and I was annoyed when Kady, part way through, turned into some fawning, love sick, female YA stereotype (dropped a star there), but then... well... no spoilers but it got interesting. AIDAN the AI on the Alexander is introduced part way through the book and is an amazing character. I loved the interaction between Kady and AIDAN. I'm not sure I liked Ezra but I'm looking forward to part two.
