Illuminae by Amie KaufmanMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Wow! Just. . . So. Much. Wow! A thousand stars. My mind was blown. This is the best science-fiction novel I’ve read in a long time!
The format is unique, offered as a series of collected reports, online conversations, video feeds, and research, after an extremely deadly occurrence between a small planetary civilization, a fleet of government ships, and corporate terrorists.
I listened to this on audiobook (at double speed, which added to the excitement), and I highly recommend that format, as it comes with different readers for different materials, as well as sound effects which add to the whole experience. However, I feel certain I will go back and read this in print, in the future, so I can study the style and writing concept further.
It’s YA, but I recommend this to anyone who loves Sci-Fi or space fantasy, or anyone who is genre flexible and likes to try new and interesting books.
