Obsidio
The Illuminae Files #3
The Illuminae Files #3
by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff
Coming March 13, 2018
Knopf Books for Young Readers
Summary:
Kady, Ezra, Hanna, and Nik narrowly escaped with their lives from the attacks on Heimdall station and now find themselves crammed with 2,000 refugees on the container ship, Mao. With the jump station destroyed and their resources scarce, the only option is to return to Kerenza—but who knows what they'll find seven months after the invasion?
Meanwhile, Kady's cousin, Asha, survived the initial BeiTech assault and has joined Kerenza's ragtag underground resistance. When Rhys—an old flame from Asha's past—reappears on Kerenza, the two find themselves on opposite sides of the conflict.
With time running out, a final battle will be waged on land and in space, heros will fall, and hearts will be broken.

Why I Want It:
BECAUSE I HAVE NEEDED IT SINCE JUNE 1, 2016! Because it's one of my all-time favorite series! Because I don't want to have died in vain in Gemina! I want this book. I DESERVE this book.
Why I think you should want it:
Well, if you're not already a fan of The Illuminae Files, I don't think there's much I can do to convince you to read it, but I'll try: this series is one of the most exciting, swooniest, funniest, most unique series I've ever read. The books are amazing, and the audiobooks are incredible. They're gorgeously written AND illustrated, and honestly, I'm just so impressed with the amount of work that has gone into them, from Amie and Jay, of course, to their editors and the artists (like Marie Lu!!!) and the copyeditors and audiobook producers and the full cast of narrators. Everyone who has touched these books made them into the most beautiful pieces of art, and I'm so grateful to all of them for making such a fantastic series for me to obsess over.
If that hasn't convinced you, I reviewed Illuminae and the Illuminae audiobook and reviewed Gemina via gifs and collected a bunch of amazing Illuminae merch if you're into that sort of thing.

Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
I'm totally jealous of all those people who discover the series next year and don't have to wait.
DeleteI still need to start the first book! Thanks for the reminder. Hope you enjoy this one :)
ReplyDeleteDo it!! And then go right on to Gemina (and make sure you grieve my untimely murder) and then you can jump on Obsidio as soon as it releases!
Deleteyes!! I cannot wait for this book! Illuminae is one of my favorite series, and I hope that Obsidio is an epic conclusion! Fingers crossed that we both love it. :D
ReplyDeleteI'm so nervous! Not that I'm worried it won't be good, but I'm just worried about all my babies!
DeleteI'd like to read all of this series! Since the audiobooks are good, maybe that would be the way to go!
ReplyDeleteIf you listen to them, I still recommend you have a copy of the book so you can see the art. It's really great both ways!
DeleteThis one is past due for us Illuminae Files fans. I am beyond excited to get my hands on this one.
ReplyDeleteThe wait has been SO HARD!!!! March can't come soon enough!
DeleteYesss!
ReplyDeleteI KNOW, RIGHT?!
DeleteThis series sounds creative and it's cool with what they've been able to do with it. I hope you enjoy Obsido when it releases! I haven't read the series (the hype is daunting) and I'm not that into sci-fi, although you are pretty convincing in the points you make.
