I've just read 'Illuminae' by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff. There are some neat ideas in here and the book is beautiful. I can imagine many readers loving this but it didn't really cut it for me. It's YA space opera. I couldn't really get into the characters and they annoyed me a little although it got going towards the end.

Maybe sneak another one hopefully by the end of the year.
