Look at that cover! I love these characters so much!! 😫 And Kal is my sugar baby! In a flash almost too quick to track, Kal seizes the man’s wrist, bends it backward with a bright snapping sound. The man screams and Kal twists; I hear another crunch as the guy’s elbow bends in entirely the wrong direction. The other Unbroken step forward, but with a hiss, the young woman called Saidii holds them still. And as I watch, horrified, Kal sweeps the warrior’s feet out from under him and starts slamm...

Excuse my French, but what THE FUCK was that

I just finished reading this and I need a minute to process it all.. . OH MY GAAAAWD, THIS BOOK 🙀🙀🙀

Ahhhh CRAP. So the wait begins.THIS IS SOME HECTIC SPACE SHENANIGANS.You know that blank, empty sound of space? That is my mind right now trying to put my feelings into words.I fail. WARNING: This review will definitely contain untagged spoilers for the first book in the series. CHARACTERS!TylerI think that if we weren't given chapters from his POV, I'd probably find him unbearable. Because he's such a soldier! But I really enjoy hearing the way he thinks, about strategy, and leadership, but m...

I. AM. NOT. OKAY Re-read and I'm still struggling to put together coherent thoughts about this book....I love it but I hate Kristoff for that ending. All I'm going to say is, Squad 312 are precious babies and need to be protected.

May 13th, 20202.75The first half of this book was 4 stars of solid space fun, and then it derailed real quick.I don't know what happened during the second half but there was just a disconnect for me with the characters and it felt super rushed.I'll probably still stick with the series, but I expected a lot more from this.November 22nd, 2019 THERE'S A COVER. THERE'S A HOT ALIEN BOI. EEEEEEEEEP

It's not often that I like the middle book of a trilogy more than I did the first but in this case I did! No time was spent in marking time or building a story - it was action, followed by action, followed by more action. And then, bang, it finished. Just like that. No explanations, no conclusions. It was the most abrupt ending I think I have ever read and I loved it.My main connection with the series is basically with the characters. Kaufman and Kristoff write young people so well. They have no...

✅ Gorgeous cover✅ Characters ✅ Plot and action✅ Misfit band✅ Action✅ Sarcasm/banter✅ Twists and revelations❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️ HUGE CliffhangerOH MY GOD THAT ENDING! It killed me. It shouldn’t be legal to leave us on such a cliffhanger. 🤯First, let's mention how gorgeous this cover is. AND IT’S KAL!!!! 😍 What an intense book! Constant action, many plot twists and the ending is insane! I can't wait for the third book. Aurora Burning is better than Aurora Rising, probably because we now know the charact...

**4.5-stars rounded up**Aurora Burning is the second book in veteran writing duo, Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff's, The Aurora Cycle trilogy.If you have read The Illuminae Files you are well aware that these authors are no strangers to writing hella compelling, action-packed, YA-science fiction stories.In this installment, Squad 3-1-2 is back, this time on the run from both the authorities and baddies alike.With an ancient evil force threatening to consume the entire galaxy, it is safe to say tha...

"There is no love in violence." Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4,8 really)❗❗Spoilers ahead. Proceed at your own risk.❗❗I am dead!!! DEAD!! What just happened, dudes??? My mind is blown to bits. My brain has melted. I need Aurora's End NOW!! Right fucking now!!Where do I begin with this masterpiece? The cover? Once again beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Seriously, whoever made these covers is super talented!! A+ work. The plot? EVEN BETTER THAN THE FIRST ONE. If that's even possible. It's full of action, and

#1 Aurora Rising ★★★★★#2 Aurora Burning ???#3 untitled ???update: nov 22, 2019This cover has killed me, brought me back to life, and killed me again. 😭 My precious grumpy space elf looks so good!———Don't mind me, I'm just over here drooling over an untitled book with no release date, cover, or synopsis... 😬

WHAT WAS THAT ENDING?? I FEEL ROBBED AND BETRAYED. DAMMIT KRISTOFF (because let's be real, Amie doesn't seem to have that same sadistic love of torturing her readers).4.5/5 stars, and I'll probably elaborate on that with a more thorough review later.(Original pre-review from November 22, 2019...)Look, Kal is cool and all, and I know everyone thinks he's gorgeous, but tbh I'm just holding out for a book in this series to have Finian on the cover because he is a precious soul (even if he is a sass...

Really fun YA SF series - but watch out for the killer cliffhanger at the end of this book. Final review, first posted on Fantasy Literature:Aurora Burning, the second book in Amie Kaufman’s and Jay Kristoff’s young adult SF AURORA CYCLE series, follows the tension-filled, nonstop space adventures of the teenage crew of Squad 312, recent graduates of the Aurora Academy. In the first book, Aurora Rising, the crew visited the forbidden planet of Octavia III and discovered, to their horror, that an...

For fans of Space Opera & Buffy the Vampire Slayer The thing I love the most about The Aurora Cycle, and Aurora Burning especially, is just how extra everything is. From high-action space chases to outlandish costumes and make-out scenes directly following high speed jet pack flights through open space, Aurora Burning definitely delivers if you love campy, over the top characters and epic plots to save the universe.As usual, my favourite aspect of Jay Kristoff & Amie Kaufman's stories are the ch...

4.5 stars July 13th 2020This series owns me, and I’m okay with that.———————————————————————June 12th 2020Oh, don’t mind me. I’m just sitting here patiently waiting for my preorder copy to arrive and praying I don’t see spoilers until it gets here. I don’t mind waiting in the midst of the pandemic, I’m just hoping I don’t see spoilers until I read it. —————————————————————— January 27th 2020*sliding a twenty to Kaufman and Kristoff* so... how about an early release on this one...? Or an ARC? A s...

The only way out is thorough. Holy Flop, Batman. The Sequel Curse strikes again. RIP, Aurora Burning. You won't be missed. When I started this book, two weeks ago, I would have thought anything possible, except me giving this less 5 stars. But I was obviously wrong because, guess what? This book was a big disappointment. I found the plot to be incredibly dull, especially considering this book takes place in the action-packed heart of a chain of events that started in book one. I think it mayb

“I am not feeling nothing.”Sobbing right now. Grabbing my computer so I can actually write a coherent review.____________________________________ “I am not feeling nothing.” What a quote to sum up this book.Guys, I am an absolute WRECK over this book. I’ve told a few people that this series, these characters, the world, everything just speaks to me in a way that doesn’t happen very often. I mean, I LOVE so many books, but I don’t know that I’ve ever felt so connected to an entire cast of charac...
