Description

Kady thought breaking up with Ezra was the worst thing she'd ever been through. That was before her planet was invaded. Now, with enemy fire raining down on them, Kady and Ezra are forced to fight their way onto one of the evacuating craft, with an enemy warship in hot pursuit.

But the warship could be the least of their problems. A deadly plague has broken out and is mutating, with terrifying results; the fleet's AI, which should be protecting them, may actually be their biggest threat; and nobody in charge will say what's really going on. As Kady plunges into a web of data hacking to get to the truth, it's clear only one person can help her bring it all to light: Ezra.

Told through a fascinating dossier of hacked documents—including emails, schematics, military files, IMs, medical reports, interviews, and more—Illuminae is the first book in a heart-stopping, high-octane trilogy about lives interrupted, the price of truth, and the courage of everyday heroes.

Quando ho iniziato a leggere non sapevo cosa aspettarmi. Da una parte perché è il primo libro di fantascienza che leggo, dall'altra parte perchè è scritto in maniera molto particolare. Infatti la storia viene raccontata attraverso chat, documenti, immagini, diari personali, file. La storia mi ha preso fin da subito e la lettura è stata molto scorrevole, veloce. Il finale mi ha molto incuriosito. Infatti c'è già il secondo libro che mi sta aspettando

3.5 stars“Am I not merciful?”It was such a rollercoaster ride, I quite enjoyed reading this book. The format of the book is so interesting and ties in really well with the plot. At times, it was a bit repetitive and the start was actually really slow. I liked Kady's sarcastic and humorous personality, but I didn't like Ezra as much as I liked Kady. The secondary characters were really interesting as well. The romance between Kady and Ezra was ok, sometimes I just didn't even give a shit about their romance at all. Overall, it was a really refreshing, unique and fun book to read.
