Story
From the New York Times and internationally best-selling authors of The Illuminae Files comes a new science fiction epic.... It's 2380, and the graduating students of Aurora Academy are being assigned their first missions. Tyler Jones has been a star pupil who hopes to recruit the squad of his dreams but ends up with a mixed and volatile crew. And Ty's squad isn't even his biggest problem - that'd be Aurora Jie-Lin O'Malley, the girl he's just rescued from interdimensional space.

Summary
Hanna Donnelly is the station captain's pampered daughter, and Nik Malikov is the reluctant member of a notorious crime family.
Together they struggle with the realities of life aboard the galaxy's most boring space station, blissfully unaware that Kady Grant and the Hypatia are headed right toward Heimdall with news of the Kerenza invasion.

Well-produced, but read the book instead.
Doesn’t quite live up to Illuminae. Well-produced, clearly with an even higher production value than the first, but it is let down by a weaker plot with far too many convenient solutions. Plus, parts of it are really not suited to audiobook form and will flow far better, and make far more sense, on paper.
Has enough going for it production wise to make me want to finish the series, but I will be hoping for a far superior plot in the finale.

Same sharp writing, and a great cast
Illuminae (book 1) was a self-contained story based around the ship Hypatia. Gemina (book 2) has a new setting and new characters.
It uses the same framing as Illuminae: the book is a collection of chat logs and camera transcripts presented to a tribunal. It works really well at making it feel like this is <i>real</i>. It also means about a third of the story is presented through teenagers' instant messages. They're wonderfully written, and they're exactly as try-hard and snarky as you'd expect a teenager's messages to be... whether you enjoy that or not will play a big part in whether you enjoy the story.
Personally, I love it. The writing's every bit as sharp as the first book, and the format still works wonderfully. The new setting doesn't work quite as well for me - Illuminae had a couple of specific threats that really made the story stand out, and because this one has a new setting, those aren't present. Hence 4 starts rather than 5. But it's still a wonderfully-written young adult sci-fi novel.
I also found the 'big twist' was perfectly weighted, i.e. I spotted it ahead of time, but I had to pay attention.
The audiobook is brilliant. It's read with a full cast, and the main actors (Carla Corvo and Steve West) are wonderful. There's also an actor for the analyst describing the camera transcripts. This added another dimension for me, as he became a character of his own in a way I hadn't noticed when I was reading it myself.

Much better than the first book
I don’t agree with a lot of the breaking the mould stuff about these novels but they are fun. Lots of ideas from other novels and films all rolled into one.
This was great fun though and the lead characters were great. Really enloyed them. Right, book 3!

Great Cast
I adored Iluminae and I couldn't wait to start this book. We continue with the story of Bei-tech and their invasion. This time we are on jump station of Heimdall. The story is told from the perspectives of Hanna Donnelly and Nik Malikov.
Hanna is the station captains daughter. Some think she is pampered and while her Dad did spoil her, he also made her train hard. She is an excellent strategist and fantastic fighter both in and outside the dojo. I loved Hanna. She is funny, brave and very clever.
Nik Malikov is the bad boy of Heimdall. He is part of the notorious crime family, The House of Knives. Nik was such a good character. He's got a bad boy vibe, he's snarky, cheeky and full of quick witty remarks. He is one of my favourite characters in this series.
My other favourite character was Ella, Nik's cousin. Ella has been through a lot in her life so far and what she experiences in this book is never seems to diminish her spirit or determination. She is also wicked funny and a whiz on the tech side.
Again I loved the full cast on this audiobook but I have seen the paperback and its also a beaut so whatever format suits you, you are in for a real treat with this book.
As soon as I finished this one I knew I just had to hear how the series ended.

After reading illuminae via ebook and now listened to this I will definitley be going back and listening to book 1 as this is honestly the most immersive and exciting thing I've listened to. Not only do sound effects and different actors bring life to this story, the story itself is thrilling and a joy to read.

Another 3.5 stars for the 2nd book of the Illuminae series.
I’m not very impressed, however i think this is a little better than the first book.
There must be something in them, as I still want to know what happens next, so will waste another 11 hours of my life trying the 3rd book.
Can’t be that bad then aye?

The best full cast Audiobooks ever!
This second book was a teeny bit more boring than the first one, but still absolutely incredible! The characters are brilliantly written and for some reason I keep falling in love with them to the point that I cry if something awful happens to them. I would say that that means something. Oh and the villains are scary and I want to pee my pants at times...
