Judul : Gemina (The Illuminae Files #2)
Penulis : Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff
Tebal : 659 halaman
Penerbit : Rock the Boat
Moving to a space station at the edge of the galaxy was always going to be the death of Hanna’s social life. Nobody said it might actually get her killed.
The sci-fi saga that began with the breakout bestseller Illuminae continues on board the Jump Station Heimdall, where two new characters will confront the next wave of the BeiTech assault.
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, Hanna and Nik 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 in two 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.

Review:
Beneran deh. Penulis buku ini kreatif banget. Saya suka sekali dengan ilustrasi-ilustrasinya yang lucu, terutama karena si tokoh utama yang bernama Hanna jago gambar.
Buku ini tidak lagi menceritakan Kady Grant, tapi dua orang baru bernama Hanna dan Nik. Mereka tingga di pesawat luar angkasa bernama Heimdall. Mereka tidak tahu soal invasi planet Kerenza sama sekali. Tahu-tahu tim BeiTech datang. 24 orang penyusup yang akan mengambil alih kekuasaan pesawat itu sekaligus membasmi pesawat Hypatia yang sedang menuju ke sana.
Rasanya seperti main kucing-kucingan. Hanna dan Nik melawan 24 orang. Seru banget. Seri The Illuminae Files ini benar-benar menyajikan pengalaman membaca yang super unik. Wow.
Sekalipun buku ini bagus dan banyak twist yang tidak tertebak, saya tetap merasa format cerita seperti ini tidak akan pernah bisa mengalahkan format cerita biasa dalam hal perasaan dan kedalaman emosi.
Pokoknya buku sekuel ini sangat worth it untuk dibaca. Saya langsung meluncur ke buku ketiganya~~~
4/5
