#85 Obsidio

Obsidio by Jay Kristoff & Amie Kaufman

What an exhilarating finale to such a fantastic YA sci-fi trilogy! this has quickly become one of my favourite series. This book series is an epic YA sci-fi series that is told in mixed media, its told through video logs, chat logs, illustrations etc. This book really has it all, its action packed, set in space and isnt too heavy on the romance front. Which is perfect for me as i hate romance in YA with a passion. I once again listened to the audiobook on audible and it was a blast! The full cast, sound effects and overall atmosphere really make this audiobook unique and such an amazing reading experience! 

This instalment follows Asha and Rhys and all of our favourites from the first two books including my low key favourite character from the whole series, Aiden. I just love all diverse all these characters have been throughout and how morally grey some of them are! Its just been a pleasure to read honestly. So this book begins with Cady, Ezra, Nik and Hanna on their journey back to Kerenza after Beitechs initial attack on the planet it is made very clear that the only chance of survival these teens have is to head back to Kerenza. Our new chracter Asha is working under cover for the resistance (so many Star Wars vibes) when she runs into her ex boyfriend Rhys and is horrified to find out that he is on the enemy side. Asha tries to use him for information about the enemy side and thus begins our journey into the action that was this book!

Throughout the book i was so nervous about the fate of these characters that ive grown to love, i know Jay Kristoff can be pretty stabby when he wants to be so i was buckling myself in for some serious heartbreak and i must say the final 150 pages are probably the most tense ive been whilst reading since Darkdawn! The story is tense from the get go and this ending does not disappoint, i genuinely think this book raised my blood pressure and it took me days to feel normal again! I invested so much energy into this series! 

Obsidio didnt feel quite as tense as Gemina and didnt have as may twists and turns but was still fantastic and 5 star worthy. I enjoyed Asha and Rhys a lot, it did feel a bit rushed and i didnt feel like i got to know them they same way as with Cady, Ezra, Hanna and Nik. Obsidio features all the characters from the previous books and you dont get to know Asha and Rhys as much but i was so happy to have all my old favs in the book. 

Overall such a great series! I cant say too much about the plot as it will definitely ruin the whole thing. I loved Aidens character development, it shook me. Issac was such a wonderful addition to the cast too, i loved he constantly told everyone off for their language on the chat logs. This was exhilarating from start to finish and i highly reccomend
