There have only been a handful of sequels that have given me a book hangover, and this joins that club. Gemina really threw me for a ride that I wasn't expecting, but also was so much better than Illuminae in a way that I genuinely did not anticipate. Having listened to the entire book and flipping through made the experience SOOO much more incredible!

Hanna and Nik are such dynamic characters, and I love their romance SO much more than Kady and Ezra's. I love them as a duo, but them individually have such intense growth and their backstories play such a huge role into who they are and the choices they make later on in the novel. It's built SO well and I really cannot praise this book enough.

My small issues came from keeping up with the amount of characters that were flowing in and out through comms, through radio transmissions, etc. THEN, oh my gosh, introducing aNOTHER TWIST at the literal last 100 pages that just absolutely blew my mind up.

I don't have enough words to express my joy, grief, and rollercoaster of love for this novel and for this series.
