WORTH. THE. WAIT.
My son and I pre-ordered this the moment it appeared on Amazon. Months and months of waiting. We had to buy two because he and I could not agree which one of us would get to read it first. Mine is now being donated to the WHHS LMC.
You most definitely need to read Illuminae and Gemina to understand this, the finale of the trilogy. I reviewed Gemina here, but Illuminae I read for other purposes. That being said, it did not make a final list somewhere on a technicality. It might be on another list which will be coming out May 1st. Infer what you will.
There is so much happening in this non-traditional novel. Just like its predecessors, the story is told in journal entries, video transcriptions, court records, drawings, photographs, and the sort-of conscience of a murderous artificially intelligent computer system, AIDAN.
AIDAN, for lack of a better phrase, kills it in this book. It's amazing that a computer system can be this developed as a character. Like ugly-crying inducing developed. And although not a cliff hanger, the door is open for AIDAN to maybe appear again somewhere.
Find this on display with our new books next week!
