BOOK REVIEW: Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff

(Oops! I started reviewing this one and then stopped. I'm finishing the review nearly a month later, so it will be super short!) One of the Facebook book groups I belong to had many intense discussions about Illuminae that I had to keep scrolling past, so I decided to see what all the hype was about.

Did it live up to my preconceived notions of being a fantastic book?

No.

But, it's still a good book.

I had issues with the story telling. I didn't enjoy jumping back and forth from perspectives. Changing up the format from emails to interviews, etc., I was fine with, though!

And, as much as Katy annoyed me, I liked Ezra's character. I truly think he is WAY TOO GOOD for her!

And, I liked the story line--the ending surprised the crap out of me!

So, what's it about?? A space opera!! There's fighting, love, and moral issues. What's not to like?

I did buy the other two books in the series, and intend to read them this year.

RATED: 4 STARS

NOTE: I bought and paid for the book on my own, and did not receive any compensation for this review.
