This one has been all over lately, and for good reason. Kady and Ezra's day was already shot by their break-up. And then their planet is attacked by a rival corporation, and they are forced to flee, seeking help across the universe as their enemy is in hot pursuit. As if that wasn't bad enough, Kady and Ezra are separated. Their so short staffed many are being conscripted into service, and disease breaks out on one of the ships. The novel is told completely through hacked documents. 
 The book itself is beautiful. It plays with form, and the way we want to tell stories. It's a book that wants to make a stand for physical books, because while it is possible to get this in ebook format, even on a tablet it is not going to be the same experience as in print. Additionally, while it appears as a somewhat intimidating volume, the format means it's a much quicker read than it may appear. 
 Some of the plot lines, especially at the end, asked me to suspend my disbelief in a way that I wasn't prepared to do as the novel had been previously established. I can't really go into any further detail without spoiling anything, but I did feel that it pushed the boundaries of the form. It was an interesting choice, but I did lose some of my investment. 
 One of the things I was nervous about in tackling a book with such a format was my attachment to the characters. I did feel like I knew and cared for them, but always at a distance. And that's just one of the pitfalls of the format; I knew that going in. 
 This book is definitely worth a read; and do yourself a favor and make sure to secure the physical copy, whether that is from your local bookstore or local library.
