GEMINA is on my list too, I've had it preordered for months and I'm dying to read it since ILLUMINAE was one of my top 3 favorite books last year. I really hope it can live up to expectations!

The blurb for TIMEKEEPER indeed sounds great, I'm always interested in stories that are set in the Victorian era and if they also mess up with time it's even better :D

The Leigh Bardugo books always look SO pretty but I'm not sure if I would like the stories, maybe I should just give them a try some day^^

It's ridiculous but I'm so glad to find someone else who isn't completely freaking out about the book. Every time I see someone raving about how mind-blowing and unique this book was I wonder if I've actually read the same book.

Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed "Sleeping Giants" and loved the premise but I never really felt as if I was in the middle of the story but rather as an observer who only gets to know about the fun when it had already happened.

I was also a bit disappointed by the narration. I absolutely love the dossier style (especially if it's so perfectly executed as in "Illuminae") but I definitely felt like it could have needed a bit more variety because 90% of this book were just interviews in a sterile environment and so I got never really hooked by the story.

I definitely liked this book and even got a print copy after reading the eARC because it's so damn pretty but I just don't think it lives up to the hype, but maybe that might change with the sequel(s).

I HUNT KILLERS and the sequel have been on my TBR for more than a year now and I definitely want to read them soon but first I need to get the 3rd book as well because I want to binge-read this series :D

Yay, THE FOLD! \o/ That has been one of my favorites books last year and I had so much fun with this one! Exciting story, very likable characters and a great humor with lots of sarcasm :D

If you enjoy THE FOLD I also recommend 14 because it's set in the same universe and there are some connections between those books! ;)
