Gemina by Jay Kristoff, Amie Kaufman

Gemina (Illuminae Files, #2)

by Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman

‘Wholly unique and utterly captivating.’ Marie Lu

Hanna is the station captain’s pampered daughter; Nik the reluctant member of a notorious crime family. But while the pair are struggling with the realities of life aboard the galaxy's most boring space station, little do they know that Kady Grant and the Hypatia are headed right toward Heimdall, carrying news of the Kerenza invasion.
When an elite BeiTech strike team invades the station, the two are thrown together to defend their home. But alien predators are picking off the station residents one by one, and a malfunction in the station's wormhole means the space-time continuum might be ripped apart before dinner.

Soon Hanna and Nik aren’t just fighting for their own survival; the fate of everyone on the Hypatia—and possibly the known universe—is in their hands.

But relax. They've totally got this. They hope.

Picking up about five minutes after Illuminae ends, Gemina is an electrifying sequel.

I still love the format of the book, and some of the characters are great. However, I felt like I was reading a slightly different version of ILLUMINAE. I guess there's only so much you can do with people on a space ship/station being attacked and having to fight. You have similar action scenes and characters filling similar roles (your hacker, your physical fighter, your commander, etc.) I guess I"ll be the black sheep on this one, but it was just good, not great. Full review to come.
