I commend the two authors of this book for killing so many characters without hesitation (not a spoiler, it is what it is)

Really great read! I had some difficulty when I first started reading the book because of the formatting. After about 50 pages or so, this went away and I was invested in the story because of how interesting it was. Loved the characters, really liked Ezra :), and this was perfect for a weekend read. I am starting to read more books in the science fiction genre and this book was great! This was a fantastic addition to my bookshelf!

Holy shit. (Sorry for any swearing guys!)
I got about 30 pages into this book, turned around to my husband and moaned about the layout and how I was prepared to put it down immediately. THANKFULLY I persevered and I'm so glad I did.
The characters: WOW.
The storyline: AMAZING
The ending: PURE TEARS

I loved this book endlessly and I'm starting Gemina immediately. If you're looking to buy this book; do it. If you're 2 or 10 or 50 pages in and don't think you can continue? Trust me and push through it. It's worth it. God bless these authors for making a book with such a different layout and story and characters that you just fall in love with.

In conclusion: MUST READ
