Mind boggled.
1: due to confusion.
2: it was damn good!
This’ll take a while for me to process. For now what I can say though as much as I loved the format, it made a little difficult for me to completely connect with it. It would through me off at times as there wasn’t your typically well-known flow and I had to try and grasp the story each time. And quite often.
It was quite technical. I mean, I loved it since everything was so fascinating, but some things I just couldn’t grasp.
The best part was definitely the characters. Kady, Aidan and Ezra were awesome and so easy to love!
Plus I loved the sarcasm that was infused into the story.
I’m really intrigued to see how this story will develop.
——————————————
Pre-reading thoughts.
I’m hella late to the party, but I’m expecting greatness.
And greatness had better be what I get.

Greatness will definitely be what you get!!! The events of the books are eerily relevant to our current political climate

If the format throws you off a bit, but you want to continue the series, give the audiobook + book a try. They are FANTASTIC that way.

Thanks so much for the suggestion! I think I’ll try it that way. 😃

I read the paperbacks, but have seen a lot of people say exactly what Ashlee said! The audiobooks are meant to be really good 👍

My dad is actually trying to listen to this book and he had me get the physical book So he could follow along and see the diagrams and pictures.

That’s a great way to read! So cool that your dad is reading Illuminae. 😄

@Warda yeah, English isn't my father's first language, so since the book isn't traditional in writing style, I think he found it a bit confusing and disconnected. I'm proud of him for sticking through it and trying to find a better way to understand and enjoy the book.
