I was again amazed at how a compilation of emails, IMs, classified files, transcripts, schematics, and yes, even comics could create a cohesive narrative. If they don’t, they will all be stranded in deep space indefinitely, and BeiTech will not answer for their heinous crimes. Together, this group of teens and their sometimes-psychotic AI must take over the only remaining BeiTech ship that still has the capability to jump back to the core. To mix things up, her ex-boyfriend, Rhys, now a BeiTech soldier, arrives with a shaky sense of loyalty. To their surprise, Katy’s cousin Asha survived the attack on Kerenza and is now part of a rebel group on the ground. Katy, Ezra, Hanna, and Nik travel to Kerenza, the small mining colony where this nightmare all began back in book one.

All of the major players plus a few more are brought together in this final fight against BeiTech–a foe that wants nothing more than to silence them for what they know. While Gemina is still my favorite of the series, I enjoyed Obsidio immensely. But the book is just so cool, I had to see every page of it too. It is read by a full cast of characters and includes awesome sound effects.

This has been HANDS DOWN my favorite series to listen to on audiobook. I bought the audiobook because, well, it’s amazing, but I must confess that I also borrowed the paper copy from the library because I just couldn’t miss out. Hats off to Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff for an awesome wrap-up to this truly unique series.
