“And blood and tears and screams did not matter anymore, because at least they are together.”
The Illuminae Files passes in flying colors when it comes to originality of how the story is told. The best thing about this trilogy is how it's told in a very different way from the rest of the books we read. And yet it does not fail to engross the readers. To let them laugh, frustrate them, swoon them. This book does not fail to let the readers feel.
We were introduced with new characters and, just like our original protagonists, these new main characters were badass, hilarious, and very fun to read about. Their dialogues and how they interacted with each other was entertaining and I love the relationship that they all have with each other. Just like our characters from the first book, I absolutely LOVE the characters that we got to meet in this book.
Trust me when I say this fucked me up real good. Again. Kristoff and Kaufman, you've managed to do this to me twice already. They leave me crumpled and emotionally exhausted by the time I finish the book. There's just really something special about how they write the story. Even though the whole explanation gave me a headache because of its complexity, I can't help but be more fascinated. It was a bit overwhelming to be honest, but at the same time I found myself really impressed and astonished.
The plot was just as strong as the first book. Kaufman and Kristoff connect everything and everyone in a brilliant way. I absolutely loved every page of this book. It really was creatively written and the plot excellently well done.
Although, I do think Illuminae was better than this one, I still love this book so much. Honestly, Gemina is a really REALLY good read. Not as good as Illuminae, but still AMAZING, ACTION PACKED, AWW-WORTHY, CRY-WORTHY, TERRIFYINGLY THRILLING, and HILARIOUS. One of my faves this 2017? Me thinks so.
