“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.

Half Year Wrap Up and July TBR

Hello everyone, as I said on my update and favorites post I’m sorry I’ve been absent lately. Because of that, I’m not going to do a monthly wrap up, but a middle of the year wrap up. I can’t believe we have already hit the middle of the year, but here we are and I’m four books behind in my goodreads challenge, which is more or less like a month. It isn’t much considering how little time I have had to read, as well as many other things, and considering there were two months in which I didn’t finished one book. We start with January, the best month reading wise I’ve had in years, I completed a total of 8 books in addition to a novella and a graphic novel. Not only that, I also highly enjoyed most books I read during that month “Captivated by You” by Sylvia Day. The last book published in the Crossfire series, really liked it, and I can’t wait for the next book which I think might be the last. (4/5) “Conociendo a Raul” by Blue Jeans. The novella I read, prequel to “El...
