Illuminae (The Illuminae Files)
"It certainly filled the Battlestar Galactica-shaped hole in my heart." --Victoria Aveyard, bestselling author of The Red Queen
Read the New York Times bestselling blockbuster that critics are calling "out-of-this-world awesome." The first in an epic sci-fi series unlike anything else out there. 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. "Brace yourself, because you're about to be immersed in a mindscape that you'll never want to leave." --Marie Lu, author of the bestselling Legend series "Prepare yourselves for Illuminae." --EW.com "You're not in for an ordinary novel experience. . . ." --Bustle.com "A truly interactive experience. . . . A fantastically fun ride." --MTV.com Don't miss the rest of the series!

This book is worth all the hype that was when it first came out. I waited FOREVER because I'm not a huge scify fan and was worried I'd waste my time. MY TIME WAS NOT WASTED. Holy moly. I listened to the audiobook and the production that went into this, wow! 10/10 would recommend. Loved how this book was set up.
4.5 stars
I get it. Hype - you win this round.
I'm actually surprised at how dark this was. Considering I read 0 reviews, I had no idea. Call me morbid, but I loved it.
The formatting was rough at first, and I squeezed the book in frustration often. But. After 100 pages or so, I was hooked.

Very clever format! So creative. I did not appreciate the ending. I won't say exactly why, because spoilers, but I think the ending would have been better without the last 15 pages. It would have made for a more genuine ending. But. Also. It's YA. So, I expect they'd give us a more "happy" ending than what would make sense.
