Gemina by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff:

While I didn’t like Gemina quite as much as Illuminae I still really enjoyed it. Despite it being over 600 pages, the format and the fast pace meant that I finished it in a single day (and a school day none the less). I will say, I went into Gemina expecting the surviving crew from Illuminae to come in around half way through, but it was more like two thirds.
I really enjoyed the new characters we were introduced to, though it took me a little longer than with Hannah and Ezra. Nick and Hannah were pretty great, though Ella was by far the standout. Ella was severely disabled but she didn’t let that stop her – she was sassy and amazing and an incredibly talented hacker. In this instalment we also meet Isaac, Kady’s dad, which was great.
I loved all the plot twists – which are essentially staples in both Amie and Jay’s writing. The character one was great, but at the end when we find out what “Gemina” means? Genius.
Suffice to say, I recommend this series to pretty much everyone and I can’t wait for the third one. – Melissa

Ready Player One by Ernest Cline:

In a world with an ongoing energy crisis, catastrophic climate change, widespread famine, poverty, disease and war, many people retreat to the OASIS, a globally networked virtual reality game. When the designer of OASIS dies and has no heir, he leaves a minefield of clues in the form of 80’s pop culture references, and the winner inherits his virtual reality empire. There is nothing out there like Ernest Cline’s debut novel. This book is a ‘page-turner’ that is so thought-provoking and engaging. A must-read. – Natalie

Absolutely fantastic & engaging read – Naomi
