There is too much Ezra Mason erasure in this fandom and I, for one, will not stand for it.

I knew y'all were going to end up shipping Kady with the sociopathic Murder Bot but c'mon. Jimmy McNulty did not bequeath his generous stockpile of war medals for Ezra and Kady not to use them to make a wedding ring and get married and have a hundred kids (named James and/or Jamette) and live happily ever after.

The southeastern anti-missile battery got vaporized by what I assume was a missile. So maybe you might wanna note in your report that those things don't, you know, stop missiles.

The Starbound trilogy and Illuminae Files could absolutely exist in the same universe. They deal with similar problems in their technology systems and the cultures and the way they interact seems very similar. I’d imagine the files taking place a few decades after the Starbound trilogy, as at the end of Their Fractured Light, they form the collective, which takes away their access to light-speed travel. Also, in Illuminae, we see that corporations like BeiTech have most of the power over the people, and it’s safe to assume that BeiTech rose from the ashes of Rodrick’s questionable business practices and became a sort of LRI 2.0. I can see the main six still being alive during the files, even though they’d probably be in their 40s or 50s. One more silly thing to think about is that the Knave might have been one of Ella’s and Kady’s hacker idols after reading some article about him and Hanna probably has taken fashion cues from Lilac. Also, imagine if James were some cadet that T or J knew/trained. Tarver seems like the type to attend his subordinates’ funerals.

*k I’m done now*

There’s like zero fan content for the Illuminae files but like. Some of the stuff I do see they would not fucking look like that.

#They would not look like 20something airbrushed Instagram models are you fr the oldest of them are 18 #And they’re also refugees on a struggling space fleet for most of it there is no extra water for bathing #On the Hypatia and then on the Mao they are grimy and tired and also traumatized and trying to keep shit together #And do things that hat they are unqualified for but everyone qualified is dead now #anyways. they would not fucking look like that #the illuminae files #kady grant #ezra mason #hannah donnelly #nik malikov #Ella malikova #asha grant #Rhys lindstrom

Book Chat: Illuminae

The Illuminae Files (Book 1) by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff

Source: Google Images

Kady thought breaking up with Ezra was the worst thing she'd ever been through. That was before her planet was invaded. Now, with enemy fire raining down on them, Kady and Ezra are forced to fight their way onto one of the evacuating craft, with an enemy warship in hot pursuit.

But the warship could be the least of their problems. A deadly plague has broken out and is mutating, with terrifying results; the fleet's AI, which should be protecting them, may actually be their biggest threat; and nobody in charge will say what's really going on. As Kady plunges into a web of data hacking to get to the truth, it's clear only one person can help her bring it all to light: Ezra.

Reading A Movie Indeed

Illuminae really was a science fiction film written into a book, literally. It's written in IM conversations, camera surveillance, official reports, emails and programming. This is a one of a kind book.

Getting into this book was not as easy as I thought it would be considering I was reading reports and IM conversations. It took about a hundred pages before I was used to the writing style. Afterwards, it took what happened with the Alexander for me to read nonstop until I finished it.

To be honest, Illuminae's storyline is typical. Invasion attack, outbreak attack, kamikaze moves and a sort of cliffhanger ending. If not for the unique writing style and our two main characters, I actually don't see anyone raving about the book.

That being said, yes, the storyline was mediocre as of the end of Illuminae. However, the characters appeared were something else. The writing style of this book made it very easy to bond with both Kady and Ezra. So easy that when Kady found Jimmy, I teared. When Kady sent the files related to her mother (who never actually appeared in the book) to Ezra, I teared up. So, so easy that despite the captain of Alexander being such a typical asshole, his ending also stabbed my heart a little.

Which brings me on to AIDAN. Watching sci-fi shows where the AI goes rogue is nothing, but reading an AI go "rogue" in the AI's POV was creepy (and I am rarely creeped out when I read). And that twist with AIDAN and Ezra? Oh my goodness, I saw so much coming except that twist which made the reading experience even more fun.

All in all, I hate that it took me so long to read Illuminae and if ever there is going to be a movie, I just pray they will follow exactly how the book went.

Rating: ★★★★☆

thing that apparently stuck well enough in my mind: in illuminae one of the text diagrams that ezra sends kady is a heart with text from "she walks in beauty" by lord byron, and even though it's been like. multiple years since I last read illuminae that stuck with me well enough that I remembered the poem in the heart

Hanna: you’re a loose cannon Nik

Nik: No I’m not. I’m a cannon maybe but a loose cannon? Is that what you think of me?

Kady: I think you play by your own rules

Ezra: No way they think rules were made to be broken

Hanna: Those are all attributes of a loose cannon

Nik: No I’m just a reckless grenade. Aiden is a loose cannon.

Aiden: *smashes a chair*
