Illuminae

This is by far one of the most unique books I have ever read. The style and formatting is unlike anything I've ever even seen before. At first, this made it EXTREMELY confusing. However, once I figured everything out, it was exciting and thrilling.

I was on the edge of my seat- literally- for a good portion of this book. There is suspense and it is a real nail biter.

The one drawback of this style of book is that it makes it difficult to really feel anything for the characters. I didn't give a crap about what happened to Kady. She was extremely flat and two dimensional to me, which was ironic since she was the main character. Ezra had some depth, but he definitely could have used the most. AIDAN though... I freaking loved the freaky AI in this novel. It was fascinating and had so much depth. I could go back and read this book through this perspective so many times because of how interesting it is.

Perhaps that is because the parts referring to AIDAN were actually in AIDAN's POV?

Regardless, it was an exciting book. It was fast to get through too, so don't be scared off by the high page count.
