Review of Gemina by Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman



Gemina by Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman

Moving to  a space station from the edge of the galaxy was always going to be hazardous and the subsequent death of Hanna's social life. However none of her supervisors advised that it might actually get her killed. 

This is the second book in the sci-fi saga that began with Illuminae, this book continues the story on board the Jump Ship Heimdall and we are introduces to the two new characters who will confront the next wave of the BeiTech assault.

Hanna is the pampered station captain's daughter and Nik is the reluctant member of the notorious crime family. However while the two of them are struggling with the realities of their new life on board the most boring space station. Little do they know that the infamous Kady Grant and the Hypatia are heading right for them carrying onboard the news of the invasion of Karanza soil. 

When the Elite strike team of BeiTechs forces invades the station, the unlikely pair of Nik and Hanna are thrown together leaving them trying to work out a way to defend their new home. The Alien predators are slowly picking of the stations colonists one-by-one and there is a malfunction in the stations wormhole which means that the space time continuum might be ripped in two before the end of the day. Hanna and Nik are not the only fighting for their life, it turns out that the fate of everyone on the Hypatia and the universe has been thrust onto the young shoulders.

This is a writing style which is done in the form of communication records and official records just like the previous book in the trilogy. Kristoff and Kaufman have achieved via this method a story which makes you want to continue to dig into the information and make links between each article and watch how Nik and Hanna's relationship changing from casual acquaintances to a strong friendship which they will be needing to survive the things which are going to be thrown at them. I gave a cheer when despite all odds they survived and band together with Ella, Niks cousin, to save the rest of the people in the space station and themselves
