I just finished Obsidio on audio and holy hell that series was so good! Can’t reccommend highly enough, especially the audiobook versions are so immersive and amazing quality. The physical books are beautiful and really cool format too

Excuse me while I go process my emotions. It’s been SO long since I gave all 3 books in a series 5 stars. 

also *SPOILERS* for all 3 books of the Illuminae Files:

I CANNOT believe that not once, not twice, but THREE times I got sucked into believing those motherfuckers were dead. Normally I totally wouldn’t believe it, especially after the first time, but that’s what we call attachment to characters. Good writing.

just remembered there’s a universe where AIDAN is real and i feel so much better
