Book review: Illuminae by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff

Book: Illuminae
Author: Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff
Series: The Illuminae Files, #1
Publisher: Knopf Books for Young Readers

Blurb:

This morning, Kady thought breaking up with Ezra was the hardest thing she’d have to do.
This afternoon, her planet was invaded.
The year is 2575, and two rival megacorporations are at war over a planet that’s little more than an ice-covered speck at the edge of the universe. Too bad nobody thought to warn the people living on it. With enemy fire raining down on them, Kady and Ezra—who are barely even talking to each other—are forced to fight their way onto an evacuating fleet, with an enemy warship in hot pursuit.
But their problems are just getting started. 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 enemy; and nobody in charge will say what’s really going on. As Kady hacks into a tangled web of data to find the truth, it's clear only one person can help her bring it all to light: the ex-boyfriend she swore she'd never speak to again.
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.

Top 10 reads of 2015.

Wait, what's the time? *checks laptop screen because never wears watch* Technically it's the second of January and I am kind of late to the party, but...

Happy New Year, everyone! May 2016 be as awesome as I am.


I do hope everyone started the new year in the way they hoped and obviously alongside either friends of family or maybe both or neither. However anyone wished to do so.

But seeing that now it is 2016, I haven't posted the reads that I enjoyed the most in 2015, right? Then, let us get on with it, shall we?
