A review by octopeaches
Illuminae by Jay Kristoff, Amie Kaufman
2.0
*2.5 stars rounded down*
~Sigh.
There's no denying aesthetically, this book is great. A really visually interesting layout, a space opera with romance that perhaps tries a little too hard? Even as a HUGE sci-fi fan I found this incredibly dull and packed full of forced humour that doesn't land. I won't be picking up the rest in this trilogy but I will say something it does have going for it, there are some stunning pages within this book.
