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。

Aurora's End by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff is the much anticipated conclusion to the Aurora Cycle， an epic space opera featuring the members of Squad 312。 As readers of the previous books no doubt remember， the authors left us on something of a cliff hanger and this book picks up right where Aurora Burning left off。 To say too much about the story would be a disservice to the book as it is a page turning thrill ride that is designed to have the reader on the edge of their seat， but more than Aurora's End by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff is the much anticipated conclusion to the Aurora Cycle， an epic space opera featuring the members of Squad 312。 As readers of the previous books no doubt remember， the authors left us on something of a cliff hanger and this book picks up right where Aurora Burning left off。 To say too much about the story would be a disservice to the book as it is a page turning thrill ride that is designed to have the reader on the edge of their seat， but more than that it is a book that will pull on the reader's heart strings as the characters they have bonded with over the rest of the series face triumph and heartbreak in equal proportions。 I was expecting plenty of humour and lots of witty banter， and I was certainly not disappointed。 I am in awe of how cleverly the authors were able to bring the threads of the story together so deftly to give an immensely satisfying conclusion， it really was a wonderful balancing act。 I'm sad to be saying goodbye to the Squad， but it really was a wonderfully fun filled journey。 I read and reviewed an ARC courtesy of NetGalley and the publisher， all opinions are my own。 。。。more

Such a bittersweet ending！ But it was perfect。 I laughed and cried and felt all the love through the pages。 This crew was fun to watch。 This ragtag team I never imagined I like as much as the Illuminae crews。 But I did。 I can’t wait to listen to the series for my reread。

oh so goodI don’t want it to end。 I want these two authors to make more magic together and I hope I can read it all。 This series is wonderful and lovely and heartbreaking and everything I didn’t know I needed。 Just read these books please。

You will not be disappointed。These two authors have a way of writing that just flows through your mind， hypnotising you in inch by inch to entwine their world into your own， just like the Ra'haam。 It's so easy to get lost in the pages of this final book and let time fly by without a notice or care。 This duo have created something beautiful and deadly， that I connected to on a emotional level and can not recommend enough。Ps you will cry。Thank you to @oneworldpublications and @rocktheboatnews for You will not be disappointed。These two authors have a way of writing that just flows through your mind， hypnotising you in inch by inch to entwine their world into your own， just like the Ra'haam。 It's so easy to get lost in the pages of this final book and let time fly by without a notice or care。 This duo have created something beautiful and deadly， that I connected to on a emotional level and can not recommend enough。Ps you will cry。Thank you to @oneworldpublications and @rocktheboatnews for an early copy of this beauty！ You made and broke my day。 。。。more

Rating: 3。7 / 5Okay， so a good portion of this book after a time was a skim rather than a read， and yet I still got the gist of what was happening， which I guess tells you something about the authors' superfluous details。But anyway， I've de-graded this from my favourites list。 Yup， I did。 Maybe it's because re-reading the first and second books the second time around wasn't as engaging， or maybe it's because I really don't like alternate timeline plots in most cases （with VERY few exceptions， tr Rating: 3。7 / 5Okay， so a good portion of this book after a time was a skim rather than a read， and yet I still got the gist of what was happening， which I guess tells you something about the authors' superfluous details。But anyway， I've de-graded this from my favourites list。 Yup， I did。 Maybe it's because re-reading the first and second books the second time around wasn't as engaging， or maybe it's because I really don't like alternate timeline plots in most cases （with VERY few exceptions， trust me） and so having not only time travel in the future but in the past as well。。。yeah， that just about tipped the iceberg for me towards bleh territory。Not to say that the book wasn't good though， which is why I've given it 4 stars and downgraded Aurora BurningBasically， we've got three things going on:1。 Tyler's still in the present， so at least HIS timeline's clear， but then。。。。2。 Auri and Kal are in the FUTURE， and3。 Zila， Fin， and Scarlett hang out in the past。So yeah。。。there's all that。To an extent， some of what happens is definitely planned， since it ties in to what the past books have set up。 Legit no arguments there。 When it's there， it's there， eh？But then other things just have Kaufman's wishy-washy stupidly-romantic extra-sensory EVERYTHING attached to it， and so， with tiresome details in tow， I just had to skim， skim， and skim some more to come to the ending。And I still got the story， skimming aside。 What does that tell you？ThatA） those details are not needed and they are just EXTRA， andB） that therefore the book is not justified in being this long。But observe: rounded up to 4 stars because I'm nice and there are some solid ideas in here。It's not a perfect book by a long shot， but I'll keep a hold of it to complete the trilogy。 Not sure if I'll ever have the patience to re-read it again， but if not， then at least it'll make a decent read for my teenage daughters in the future or something。 We'll see， we'll see。。。。 。。。more

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
