You thought Illuminae was good? Gemina was phenomenal... I can't even.

Better review to come at a later date*

I listened to this book and it was once again amazing, the best audiobooks I've ever listened to. The addition of the pop song was so amazing. 

The beginning of this book was a bit hard (where are all my favorite characters from book 1??) but by the end of it, I loved Hannah and Nick even more than Kady and Ezra. A bit of it was hard to listen to in a body horror type way, but nothing unbearable and I am pretty squeamish

Loved the first book. Got the chance to read this over spring break, and wow. The plot? incredible. The characters? Amazing. May I just say, Hannah Donnely is a certified bad@$$. And Nik? Ella? Yeah great characters.
I love reading science fiction

Spoiler

and I love me a good multiverse theory scenario hell yeah

This was a very enjoyable read, and I really enjoyed soaking in every detail. This book is rich in detail, the formatting is crazy but incredible. I think I liked this more than Illuminae, there were moments where I audibly gasped. I really hope Obsidio is a satisfying end to the trilogy, but even if it isn't, this book is definitely one of my favorites of the year.

I loved this story even more than Illuminae - I loved this story full stop, let me say before I go on. But the constant humour was unfitting for their deathly situation; beyond diffusing the tension and would ordinarily definitely not be used as much in these time constricted situations. So book 2 gets 4 stars alike the 1st book, but also a place on my favourites shelf.
