"The year is 2575 and two rival megacorporations are at war over a planet. With enemy fire raining down on them, Kady and Ezra—who are barely even talking to each other after their break-up —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."
I was so excited to read this book and had the highest expectations ever for it, but I was quite disappointed. The way this story was told through different documents was one thing that really appealed to me, but didn't turn out great. I really couldn't get hang of the story because of the documents.
Because of the fact that this story is told through documents, and chat messages etcetera, I also felt like I couldn't connect to the main characters (or any character for that matter). The romance in this book was also too cheesy and lame for my personal taste, I did not like it!
Another thing that annoyed me through almost the whole entire book was the fact that the swear words were marked black. When you put this much swearwords in a book, don't cover them up! A thing I did really like were Kady's diary entries.
The story overall is really good, but the way this is told just wasn't put away for me. I am very curious on how the story will continue and I will be reading 'Gemina' when it comes out. Who knows I might like that one a lot better!
