“Iluminae” is the first book in the “Iluminae files series” written by Amy Kauffman and Jay Kristoff, a futuristic story about a couple of teenagers who found themselves in the middle of a space war.

Kady and Ezra just broke up, however they find that they only have each other after what happened in their planet, despite the fact that they are located in different spaceships. Two rival companies control the universe and they are willing to do anything to be the only one, even destroying a whole planet. However, that would not be the worst thing happening to the one who used to live in the small planet, as they are not safe even in the rescue ships they now live.

“Iluminae” was a fantastic experience. It was not just a great book it was much more. The book format is quite unique and beautifully artistic. The way the book is presented is by reports and different kind of files, as well as, video transcriptions. The book tells a story about survival and self-discovery. It also touches the theme about artificial intelligence and the possibility of machines turning into people. I think it is not arguable that the book was really original in the format. I also really liked the characters and how they suffer a development, especially Kady. The way the plot developed and the ending was not expected and I like that it surprised me.

To sum up, I really recommend “Iluminae” since I cannot wait to read the second installment of the series.

As I also said on the previous month's post I was going to center this past month's TBR on the "Sweep/ Wicca" series by Cate Tiernan, and that is what I did. I managed to finish the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, and get thought half of the eleventh. I have enjoyed most of this books, however the last two, Seeker and Origins, change the point of view and I have not been able to click with them as I was able to so with the other ones. As for the November TBR, I want to still finish this series, reading the twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth and sixteenth books in the series, Eclipse, Reckoning, Full Circle and Night Child. Appart from that, I want to keep finishing s...
