liked it

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.

😆 what did you think of the book? So much fun to read! 😍


Ashlee » libraryinthecountry 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. 😃


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

Soula 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. 😄

Soula @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.
