Summary

The squad you love is out of time。 Prepare for the thrilling finale in the epic， best-selling Aurora Cycle series about a band of unlikely heroes who just might be the galaxy's last hope for survival。

Is this the end？
What happens when you ask a bunch of losers， discipline cases， and misfits to save the galaxy from an ancient evil？ The ancient evil wins， of course。
Wait。 。 。 。 Not。 So。 Fast。
When we last saw Squad 312， they working together seamlessly （aka， freaking out） as an intergalactic battle raged and an ancient superweapon threatened to obliterate Earth。 Everything went horribly wrong， naturally。
But as it turns out， not all endings are endings， and the te4am has one last chance to rewrite thirs。 Maybe two。 It's complicated。
Cue Zila， Fin， and Scarlett （and MAGELLAN！）: making friends， making enemies， and making history？ Sure， no problem
Cue Tyler， Kal， and Auri: uniting with two of the galaxy’s most hated villains？ Um， okay。 That， too。
Actually saving the galaxy， though？
Now that will take a miracle。

I don't have the words。 Amie and Jay you'll pay for my therapy。 I can't believe how fast I read this， it is really un put downable。This was the most action-packed， nerve-racking and incredibly blast of an ending， that this series deserved。 I don't quite know what I was expecting after that ending we got on Aurora Burning， but I like what we got。This book gave me all the feels and comfort that only stories about found family have。 They have a special place in my heart。 There were some great devel I don't have the words。 Amie and Jay you'll pay for my therapy。 I can't believe how fast I read this， it is really un put downable。This was the most action-packed， nerve-racking and incredibly blast of an ending， that this series deserved。 I don't quite know what I was expecting after that ending we got on Aurora Burning， but I like what we got。This book gave me all the feels and comfort that only stories about found family have。 They have a special place in my heart。 There were some great developments here， some more than others， but overall I was thoroughly satisfied with how things wrapped up。Tyler。。。。 wow I did not see his growth coming。 He has a special place in my heart and it took a while but I love him so。Scarlett。。。 I love you woman， plain and simple。Finian。。。 he is the purest cinnamon that has ever lived。 Protecc at all costs。Zila。。。 oh baby you are so special and I love to see how much you have evolved。Kal。。。 he didn't have as much development as he had in Aurora Burning （because c'mon he owned that book） but although I wish there was more of him here， I understand they needed the space to develop the othersAuri。。。 same as Kal she had much more "screen time" both on book one and two compared to the others， so they also sidelined her a bit， but I love the ending she gotI am so。。。。 Hollow。 So bittersweet that this incredible journey is over。 I always hate endings， even when I love them。 This was a beautiful journey， and I am so glad I was a part of it。 Squad 312 forever。Yes this review will be just this cause I have literally no emotional to write more， and also spoilers， I don't even know how to organize my thoughts that don't spoil it all。 Thank you to Penguin Random House for the arc in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

This is a trilogy and this is last book in the series。 Aurora’s End picks up just straight after what happened at the end of Aurora Burning which left us on a cliffhanger。 The last we seen of Squad 312， was they were trying to save Earth from impending doom while an intergalactic battle raged on。 Of course things went wrong but Squad 312 might have another chance to save the galaxy in this book。 I loved this book and this series。 I am kinda sad the series is coming to end as I will miss Squad 31 This is a trilogy and this is last book in the series。 Aurora’s End picks up just straight after what happened at the end of Aurora Burning which left us on a cliffhanger。 The last we seen of Squad 312， was they were trying to save Earth from impending doom while an intergalactic battle raged on。 Of course things went wrong but Squad 312 might have another chance to save the galaxy in this book。 I loved this book and this series。 I am kinda sad the series is coming to end as I will miss Squad 312。 Without trying to spoil this book too much Squad 312 find themselves in various situtations in this book。 Zila， Fin and Scarlett and Magellan find themselves stuck repeating time which was so much fun to read and Tyler， Kal and Auri find themselves teaming up with two villains。 This book is action packed and sad at times but as the previous two books it isn't without the humour and warm that makes Squad 312 so likeable as a group and indivduals。 Romance does bloom in this book and I did have two favourites but I won't say in case it is a spoiler for future readers。 Lots of loose ends and questions are tied up in this book。 So you won't be left with any unexplained questions。 The end is heartwarming and maybe too perfect but lets face Squad 312 deserve a bit of happiness and peace。 Highly entertaining and fun series and final book fitting to end a series。 One last point I have loved the covers of the books。 They stand out and are very striking。 I received ARC from Netgalley and Oneworld Publications， Rock the Boat for an objection review。 。。。more

Spoiler free reviewThanks for the free book PRH International。 I got an egalley of this book and this has no influence on my always honest review。Aurora's End was one of my most awaited sequels of the year and。。I don't know how to rate that book。I'd give it 2 stars for the first 60%And 4 stars the rest of the story with a 4，5 stars for the epilogue。So I rounded up at 3 stars。The first part of the story didn't work for me at all！I won't go into specifics but let's just say that Jay and Amie chose Spoiler free reviewThanks for the free book PRH International。 I got an egalley of this book and this has no influence on my always honest review。Aurora's End was one of my most awaited sequels of the year and。。I don't know how to rate that book。I'd give it 2 stars for the first 60%And 4 stars the rest of the story with a 4，5 stars for the epilogue。So I rounded up at 3 stars。The first part of the story didn't work for me at all！I won't go into specifics but let's just say that Jay and Amie chose two tropes I can't stand in books， one of them had already been Jay's choice in Dev1at3 and I also rated that book quite low。If you are curious and are not afraid of spoilers， go read my review to have an idea of one of the two tropes that didn't sit well with me。Using these tropes gave an uneven pacing for the book and had me waiting for something to change and go back to 。。。something more conventional。The characters were still great and very enjoyable throughout this and saved the reading experience for me。And talking about characters， I'd say that if I fell for Kal in the other books， dimple boy alias Tyler really shone in this one！You could say that it was his book for a good portion of it。And Zila's book too。I really liked how Jay and Amie wrote Tyler and Zila here， with character growth and lots of great surprises。We are still on a race to save the universe， so this is no spoiler， and it's the main focus of the story。 Expect lots of fighting， epic battles， plotting， thinking， heroics 。。。 in it。The Legion's spirit is well an truly alive in all its glory and it was inspiring！If it wasn't for a friend who has read an ARC already， I honestly would have DNF the book for reasons explained above。But I soldiered on and。。it got more to my liking in the last 40%。You get a "first" ending， before the epilogue， that I found a little bit too "over the top" （not saying more here） but the epilogue truly reconciled me with that series。All in all， the Aurora's is a very good scifi series that I am very happy to have read！#sponsored #prhinternational #partner 。。。more

It’s about time— literally AND figuratively 😉Aurora’s End made me laugh， made me cry—A LOT， made my heartbreak， and made my anxiety go through the roof， but it was so worth it。 It’s also the saddest but most beautiful of happy endings， and the most perfect goodbye to this series & these characters。& now I don’t know what to do with myself。

I received an ARC of this title from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 All opinions are my own and were not affected by the free copy。I've been wanting to start this series for awhile， but wasn't in the space opera mindset。 Finally， I found that mindset， and OH MY GOODNESS， I flew through the series。 Thank goodness the third book was available on NetGalley， there was NO WAY I was going to wait for it to be published （also grateful I waited to start; waiting a year would have killed me。 I received an ARC of this title from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 All opinions are my own and were not affected by the free copy。I've been wanting to start this series for awhile， but wasn't in the space opera mindset。 Finally， I found that mindset， and OH MY GOODNESS， I flew through the series。 Thank goodness the third book was available on NetGalley， there was NO WAY I was going to wait for it to be published （also grateful I waited to start; waiting a year would have killed me。） This series was so good。 I loved the characters and their development （except for Aurora， which is sad， since this her story。） I found her a bit annoying。 However， loved everyone else。 Without spoiling anything， the book was a little hard to follow， but it could just be me。 I have a really hard time wrapping my mind around this type of sci-fi。 The plot was great， very fast paced， and extremely entertaining。 I cried or near cried half a dozen times。 I wish the ending had been a little less neat-I didn't care for how easy they made it out to be-but it did wrap up the series。 I will definitely be recommending out this series to all sci-fi/fantasy fans。 。。。more

Thanks to NetGalley and Knopf Books for an advanced copy of this to review！ Of course， with how Aurora Burning ended， I absolutely needed to know how this series came to a close。 In true Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff style， it wouldn’t be a space book if things didn’t get chaotic。I will admit， parts of this were difficult to follow。 It’s space， all of the characters are spread out to different places， and sometimes I was like， “wait， what’s happening？？” But I feel like that’s the mark of a true Thanks to NetGalley and Knopf Books for an advanced copy of this to review！ Of course， with how Aurora Burning ended， I absolutely needed to know how this series came to a close。 In true Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff style， it wouldn’t be a space book if things didn’t get chaotic。I will admit， parts of this were difficult to follow。 It’s space， all of the characters are spread out to different places， and sometimes I was like， “wait， what’s happening？？” But I feel like that’s the mark of a true science fiction/book set in space。 Sometimes， you just don’t really know what’s going on， but you go along with it because it will make sense at the end。Once again， the characters and the voice are what make this series such a fun read。 Kaufman and Kristoff have a way with writing great characters， and there are just some really funny moments。 You will be entertained from start to finish， and feel like you’re a part of Squad 312。 Even if space wouldn’t be your jam。All in all， this is a pretty great finale to a fun， entertaining trilogy。 If you like the Illuminae series， this is definitely one that you’ll want to pick up！ 。。。more

4。5！！Wowowowowow。 I didn’t know what to expect going into this because I wasn’t the huuuuugest fan of the second book （loved the first one） but this COMPLETELY redeemed the series for me。 It’s definitely my favourite in the series！ In Aurora’s End， our crew is split up into 3 groups separated literally by time and space and while you’re reading it you’re thinking how the HELL are they going to pull this off？ I thought the separate plot lines were so intriguing and exciting on their own that I di 4。5！！Wowowowowow。 I didn’t know what to expect going into this because I wasn’t the huuuuugest fan of the second book （loved the first one） but this COMPLETELY redeemed the series for me。 It’s definitely my favourite in the series！ In Aurora’s End， our crew is split up into 3 groups separated literally by time and space and while you’re reading it you’re thinking how the HELL are they going to pull this off？ I thought the separate plot lines were so intriguing and exciting on their own that I didn’t mind switching from pov to pov because it was all just so FUN and EXCITING！ I adored the characters too and found them way less cringey than in the second book （lol） and one particular romance had me like HNNNNNG I love a good enemies to lovers am I right， folks？ Okay I am just spouting nonsense at this point but listen if you were on the fence about continuing this series after the previous book， I’m here to let you know that it’s SO worth it （even though I’m a feeling a little mixed on the ending）， I really really enjoyed reading this one！ Thanks Allen and Unwin for the review copy！ 。。。more

Ok so at first the Finian， Scarlet and Zila POVs got super annoying real quick buuuuuut they were completely necessary in the way they were written and I respect that。 I had to watch Edge of Tomorrow just to get it out of my system with the time loops。Tyler’s POV is always my favorite to read。 Zila that crafty brain！！So many happy/sad moments towards the end！I was wondering how it would end: who would make it？ How would the events unfold？ What would happen next？ I’m very pleased with the outcome Ok so at first the Finian， Scarlet and Zila POVs got super annoying real quick buuuuuut they were completely necessary in the way they were written and I respect that。 I had to watch Edge of Tomorrow just to get it out of my system with the time loops。Tyler’s POV is always my favorite to read。 Zila that crafty brain！！So many happy/sad moments towards the end！I was wondering how it would end: who would make it？ How would the events unfold？ What would happen next？ I’m very pleased with the outcome even if it was nerve wracking to get to that point。It will be sad to not read about these characters any more but I can always reread if I’m missing them。 。。。more

So many emotions。 I’m overall pleased with each character’s ending and was very entertained while reading。 The amount of detail and research that went into this storyline is astounding。 Would there be things I would change？ Absolutely。 Does Aurora still fall flat as a character for me？ Absolutely。 Am I glad to see more of Zila？ Absolutely。 This isn’t my favorite book of the series but it’s at least a strong ending。 I think that the series was so good because of 312 and the teamwork。 Because the So many emotions。 I’m overall pleased with each character’s ending and was very entertained while reading。 The amount of detail and research that went into this storyline is astounding。 Would there be things I would change？ Absolutely。 Does Aurora still fall flat as a character for me？ Absolutely。 Am I glad to see more of Zila？ Absolutely。 This isn’t my favorite book of the series but it’s at least a strong ending。 I think that the series was so good because of 312 and the teamwork。 Because the team isn’t together for a majority of the plot it doesn’t resonate as well to me。 It’s over but I’m happy with the journey。 I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a free copy。 。。。more

I did have to read the first two books in the Aurora Cycle again， to make sure I remembered all the important information， but 'Aurora's End' does offer a quick recap of the characters and plot， which is very helpful。 I wish more series books would do this。 When we left Squad 312 at the end of 'Aurora Burning'， they were all in imminent danger of death。 Fin， Scarlet and Zila were in the process of 'Plan B' - ramming the giant galactic weapon to stop it from destroying Terra's sun， Kal and Auri w I did have to read the first two books in the Aurora Cycle again， to make sure I remembered all the important information， but 'Aurora's End' does offer a quick recap of the characters and plot， which is very helpful。 I wish more series books would do this。 When we left Squad 312 at the end of 'Aurora Burning'， they were all in imminent danger of death。 Fin， Scarlet and Zila were in the process of 'Plan B' - ramming the giant galactic weapon to stop it from destroying Terra's sun， Kal and Auri were inside the galactic weapon， fighting the terrifying Starslayer， and Tyler was a prisoner of the evil GIA AKA Ra'haam together with Kal's aggressive sister， Saedii。I can't say too much about what happens next， without plot spoilers， but the fate of the galaxy is in the hands of our intrepid heroes and it's a wild， nail-biting， heart-stopping ride。 There have been hints at time travel in the previous books， and time travel does often serve as convenient get-out-of-jail free card for plot holes， but in this case the time travel element is the DNA of the entire plot and all of the clues， the mantlepiece guns， and the cigarillo cases pay off in such a satisfying way I was able to thoroughly suspend disbelief。 The final clash of Auri and the Ra'haam lost me a little bit， but the conclusion of this epic， thrilling series was wonderfully wrapped up， with all of the heartstring tugging and sarcastic quips you would expect from this brilliant author duo。 Absolutely loved it！ 。。。more
