Obsidio (Illuminae Files #3) by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff

Lynnie


young adult, science-fiction

Obsidio is a great finale to the Illuminae series. Presented like the other books in the series, Illuminae and Gemina, you are presented with a series of reports, messages, video transcription and occasional artistic rendering to piece together the continuing saga of Kady, Ezra, Hanna, Nik, Ella, and of course some new editions. (And once again, I encourage you not to read this on a Kindle, though the Kindle App worked well.)

If you enjoyed the first two books you'll like this one as well as Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff have brought back all your favorite characters from the first two books and forced them to work together to save their world. There are also some new characters who round out the adventure as the story takes us full circle back to Kerenza IV where the story started. 


There are similarities to Amie Kaufman's collaboration with Meghan Spooner, the These Broken Stars series in that while the initial books have some overlap, the final book brings all the characters and their strings together to wrap things up in a neat little bow.  Still, I enjoyed seeing how those strings were woven together.  Overall this series was a lot of fun to read.
