Description

One moment, Kady Grant and Ezra Mason have nothing bigger to worry about than each other. Specifically, avoiding each other in the wake of their messy break-up. In the next second, their entire world falls apart.

The year is 2375 and one of the mega-corporations that control much of deep space has just fired the opening salvo in an intergalactic war, destroying Kady and Ezra's planet. Forced to flee on a small fleet of crippled rescue ships alongside thousands of other refugees, the fear of enemy warships chasing them down is at first all-consuming but soon becomes the least of their worries. A deadly plague is ravaging the refugees on the ships; the fleet's AI, which should be protecting them, may actually be an enemy; and High Command is refusing to acknowledge that there may be a serious problem. As Kady plunges into a tangled web of data in search of the truth, she realises that Ezra is possibly the only person who can help her save the refugees before it's too late.

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.
