This is the next book in the Illuminae Files and I am so glad I didn't have to wait for it because I would have lost my mind. However, I will say that I think the amazingness of Illuminae, set up some REAL HIGH expectations for Gemina. 

Gemina follows Hanna and Nik, who are on the space station that they're racing towards on Illuminae, but due to a mishap involving space-age drugs, there are now aliens beings that are killing people on the space station. I feel like there's an added intensity since you know that the cast of Illuminae is racing towards them in need of help. 

I didn't love Gemina as much as I loved Illuminae, although it was also filled with awesome space stuff and theories and twists and such. I think, however, it would have been very hard for something to be as amazing as Illuminae simply because I had no idea what I was getting into, resulting in just an amazing overall experience. Here, I knew kind of what to expect, and I think that's why I rated it four stars. I'm still so very excited for Obsidio, and I really love the writing styles present in this book.
