Absolutely stunning!

I picked up this book purely based on the fact that Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman were the authors. I devoured their "Illuminae Files" series and knew that I would probably enjoy this series as well. I didn't just enjoy "Aurora Cycle--" I…

This is a story that is set in the future, in 2380, not on earth, but in space! I had reread this book and finished it yesterday; however, it was not the first time I read it. I just wanted to read it again because it was so good. The…

interesting and entertaining characters, and my curiosity was definitely piqued by the worldbuilding, but in the end, everything felt underbaked, and some of the characters ended up sounding a bit too similar. not too bad, though!

Teen Book Club Review: I loved the setting: a dystopian world set in future space. The characters were very cool, and the dialogue was funny! - Emily

Here's what I think happened during the editing process of this book - there was critique about how many of the narrators sound too similar so they gave several of them speech quirks to differentiate without actually having to change the…

Rereading this book in preparation for Aurora's End, I listened to the audiobook instead of reading the physical book, and I have never had a more fun time reading (listening to) a book. The cast of the audiobook was incredible and…

I love a good ensemble cast and Jay and Amie do it so well! This story is what you get when you combine found family of misfits in space (with space elves and magic) with a two-hundred year old mystery. Found family of misfits is one of…

A disappointment. Inadvertently pushes forward the idea that it doesn't matter if a guy treats you like a jerk for his reason was he loves you. A clear sign of an abusive relationship in the making. Predictable plot twists and trajectory.…

Started out in a lightweight mode but gradually our band of odd misfits strove for serious heroics when a sinister menace threatened. Full loads of action.

Other than the insistence on desperately sassy repartee (I blame Joss Whedon) and tiresome nicknames that don't even roll off the tongue easily ("Bee-Bro"??) this was a truly fun read. Moments of genuine humour shone through and the…
