| elvira | Illuminae 🚀 by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff Review ✨ . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5 . This book is amazing! Sci-fi is so not my cup of tea but I loved this book! . First of all the story is really unique once you delve into it. The characters are all very likable and have a fantastic humor. I found myself giggling more than a few times, scratch that, I actually laughed out loud. This book is also very gorgeous to look at. I didn't expect it to be this creepy, maybe it's just me but at times I was genuinely a little scared. There was no specific POV. I usually don't like books with different POV (even though sometimes, for example in thrillers, they are necessary and very enjoyable) because I always end up liking one more than the others, and I dread reading the ones I don't like. So I liked the fact that it was told through files and you could decide how to interpret them. . Let's talk about what really happens. Oh my, oh my. So many things happen, my heart was not ready. One of the most action packed books I've read in a while. I loved that, it was never boring. I always wanted to know more. . I took out half a star because of 2 main reasons: First, at times it was difficult to understand. I don't know if it's only because I'm Italian and I read it in english and I didn't know the meaning of certain specific/technical words or if it was because it actually is hard to grasp certain concepts, especially the ones concerning the machines and the different areas of the ship. Second, especially in the beginning of the book there were a lot of characters. And they were all on different ships doing different things and I couldn't keep up. After a while I got the gist of it. Another little reason is the lack of proper character description. It took almost 200 pages to know Kady had pink hair, and that completely messed up the image I had in mind of her, it's not anything major, but I was a little annoyed haha. . Overall this was a very good read! Can't wait for Gemina. . #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #books #igreads #goodreads #instabook #bibliophile #read #reading #bookaddict #bookaholic #aesthetic #igbook #bookcommunity #readathon #deweys24hreadathon #deweys #illuminae
