Read 2 times. Last read October 7, 2017.
Re-read on audible and OMG! It has a full cast of characters! What fun!
Right from the start this book grabbed me! When I got it in the mail I had to put it aside for a bit until I could get to it. I HAD NO IDEA HOW MUCH I WOULD LOVE THIS BOOK!
I picked said book up, took of the plastic over because I thought, "I can't read it with this on!" Then... I just sat there... looking.. I could quit touching and petting the book! Yes, I touch and pet my books.. get over it :) And I opened it and saw how the lay-out was and I thought.."THIS IS GOING TO ROCK!"
I mean look at it there on my rug! It's so beautiful! And look at the inside, well one page at least...
Obviously you can read on the book that Kady and Ezra were living on a little planet with their parents. Kady had broken up with Ezra and then all hell breaks loose on the planet! The BeiTech Corp starts a war on the planet and everyone is trying to get to the ships to get the hell out of dodge. Kady ends up saving Ezra, but they end up on different ships when they take off.
Kady is on the Hypatia and Ezra is on the Alexander. They are being pursued by Bei Tech's ship called Lincoln. I'm not giving out to much information on this book because I think you really need to read it. I will just tell you that a plague breaks out on their other ship called Copernicus and some of this plague gets onto the Alexander. There is also an AI on the Alexander they call Aidan and this AI goes all wackadoo and creates havoc.
I loved how the layout is in messages, files and just ahhhhhhhhh... I love it! And there is not tons of action in the book, for those that love ALL action, it's just full of so much coolness. I can't believe how happy I am to have read such an awesome sci-fi, young adult book!
*CLAPS*
And this is a trilogy!!!! A TRILOGY!!!! Oh, I hope I don't keel over before the next two books come out! I am so excited to see if they are going to get to their destination...which I'm not telling where.. and I want to see what all is going to happen with the people that made it out alive!
I love Kady and Ezra!
If you like this type of genre just read it.. read it.. read it.. and I hope you love it as much as I do!!!!

Mel you liked more reading the book or listening ? I am interested because in the near future I want to read it. I for example listened The Night Circus and it was awesome compared to reading the book :)
fantastic review Mel !! your reviews are always entertaining to read! keep it up sis 👌🏾👌🏾💜
Excellent review!! I listened to it and was captivated, but I never saw the print. Didn't know about the pictures! *greedy voice* MUST have that!! BTW...I pet books, too. Then I reassure them I will be reading them soon. But, quietly, when I'm in the bookstore. Don't want to frighten people. Lol!

What a fabulous review, Mel! Love to read about your thrills while reading this book!
Thank you so much dear, Candi 😊💕 xo
Awesome review! And I'm so glad you enjoyed reading it. I have read it but I didn't really enjoy it. I did enjoy the plot and the format but I didn't really like the main characters and the romance oh and YOU NEED TO READ GEMINA.
Wonderful review, Mel! I have this one here in my giant pile and I so want to read it now! Xo 😘

I'm planning on reading this soon and the format of this book is really interesting since its like a script and a picture book so I will definitely be picking this up as soon as possible :) :)
It's awesome! I hope you like it 😄
Loved this book so much!
I'm glad 😄💕
Wow! Sounds brilliant Melissa, great review😄
Oh I heard the audio was really good Melissa and won a bunch of awards. I was thinking of re-reading it too and listening to the audiobook.
The Illuminae audio book was the 1st I was able to listen to, I tried audiobooks for 15+years and couldn't get into them, this one was a game changer, my next five books after that were also audiobooks. Its like a movie in your head, highly recommended.

I loved your review so much Melissa. I have been on the fence with these books, but I have finally added them to my list ;-)

Fantastic Review Melissa! I need to take the plunge and read this. I might just get it on audio. I havent read it yet because when I got it on Overdrive and started it, it had a strange format. Everyone seems to love this book. XO ❤😘�
You need to read the physical one first so you can see the awesome format! I have both books and they are wonderful. I have re-read the first one on audible and it was awesome with the full cast =) Good luck =) xoxoxo �
Wow! Your reviews are a joy to read Melissa, fab once again sweetheart Xx
