This book was so much fun! I am not a sci-fi fan but this book was the most fun I have had in a long time. It was fast paced through out and I found that I was attached to the characters by the end of the book.

Illuminae surpassed all of my expectations and I enjoyed it a lot more than I expected to. The book itself is stunning and definitely a visual treat. It's told entirely through emails, IM and other documents and it made for such a cool reading experience unlike any other.
The story itself starts slowly but the second half really picks up. I literally could not put it down and had to keep reading well into the night to finish it. It's thrilling and full of twists that I didn't see coming.
Honestly I didn't particularly care for the characters. I think that the format of the novel made the character development quite weak and it was difficult to connect with them. I also didn't have much interest in the romance, however its strengths were far more significant. I don't think that it would be as memorable and thrilling a read as it was if it was told in a traditional narrative style.
Think of Illuminae as a kind of Portal meets World War Z meets Star Trek - AI, a creepy virus and spaceships combine for a thrilling (and sometimes almost terrifying) read that I highly recommend!
