A review by uruseibaka
Illuminae by Jay Kristoff, Amie Kaufman
5.0
Illuminae is by far one of the most unique and phenomenal books I have ever read. It’s so richly dark and imaginative, I salute Kaufman and Kristoff for their beautiful masterpiece.
I have no doubts over how I feel about everything in this book. The two main characters, Kady and Ezra, are both endearing. I’ve grown to love them both, their unique personalities and even their imperfections which make them human. The plot and concept are equally stunning. I think I will always be at awe over Kaufman and Kristoff’s intelligently crafted work. Each detail had its own place, you shouldn’t miss a single word as you flip through the so-called files. The plot twists were extremely mind-blowing and unexpected. Illuminae is undoubtedly a combined effort of two evil geniuses.
Everything in this book just works. And of course the flawless design of the physical book itself is a huge plus. I imagine that whilst the two astounding authors were working on their collaboration, they laid every single detail out on a table of awesomeness before weaving them together to form the best sci-fi book in the ‘verse. I can not wait for the next one!
Overall, this book is just simply breathtaking. If sci-fi is your thing then trust me, once you start reading the parts where it gets interesting, you’ll never be able to put Illuminae down.
