Summary
Our heroes are back… kind of。 From the bestselling co-authors of the Illuminae Files comes the second book in the epic series about a squad of misfits， losers， and discipline cases who just might be the galaxy’s best hope for survival。
First， the bad news: an ancient evil—you know， your standard consume-all-life-in-the-galaxy deal—is about to be unleashed。 The good news？ Squad 312 is standing by to save the day。 They’ve just got to take care of a few small distractions first。
Like the clan of gremps who’d like to rearrange their favorite faces。
And the cadre of illegit GIA agents with creepy flowers where their eyes used to be， who’ll stop at nothing to get their hands on Auri。
Then there’s Kal’s long-lost sister， who’s not exactly happy to see her baby brother， and has a Syldrathi army at her back。 With half the known galaxy on their tails， Squad 312 has never felt so wanted。
When they learn the Hadfield has been found， it’s time to come out of hiding。 Two centuries ago， the colony ship vanished， leaving Auri as its sole survivor。 Now， its black box might be what saves them。 But time is short， and if Auri can’t learn to master her powers as a Trigger， the squad and all their admirers are going to be deader than the Great Ultrasaur of Abraaxis IV。
Shocking revelations， bank heists， mysterious gifts， inappropriately tight bodysuits， and an epic firefight will determine the fate of the Aurora Legion’s most unforgettable heroes—and maybe the rest of the galaxy as well。

That ending though。。。 and now I’ll have to wait till November for the conclusion 😭I’m not going to lie there were some slow parts。 But overall a very good read。

I would not have read this book if I knew the third one was not out yet。 Also， they are so close to resolving the story， I don’t know how they’re going to write another entire book about it。

3。5I enjoyed this but had a few issues， this book was super predictable， secondly， I thought some of the characters behaved and acted so stupidly。other than that its still a fun book

Holy hell this book！！ Oh that ending， what？！ I can't wait for the next one。As a disabled person， reading Fin's story really gets to me。 Representation in literature matters so much。 I can't even put into words how much his interactions with Scarlet and Kal （about his disability） mean to me。 Thank you so much for gifting us this beautiful story。 Holy hell this book！！ Oh that ending， what？！ I can't wait for the next one。As a disabled person， reading Fin's story really gets to me。 Representation in literature matters so much。 I can't even put into words how much his interactions with Scarlet and Kal （about his disability） mean to me。 Thank you so much for gifting us this beautiful story。 。。。more

DNF 41%I got bored with this one。 I liked the first book and I've always liked books about space travel but this one just didn't do it for me。 I've been trying to get through it for about a week now and every time I started i found myself skipping parts and then picking up a different book。Maybe I'll give it another chance in the future but as of right now I'm gonna have to pass。 DNF 41%I got bored with this one。 I liked the first book and I've always liked books about space travel but this one just didn't do it for me。 I've been trying to get through it for about a week now and every time I started i found myself skipping parts and then picking up a different book。Maybe I'll give it another chance in the future but as of right now I'm gonna have to pass。 。。。more

3。5/5 starsWe have failed， but I hope they will see how hard we tried。Everyone's right: There is something weird going on with the pacing here。 I read the first half of this book in a single day， but it took about a week to finish the rest。 What I loved about Aurora Rising was utterly lost in Book 2。 The ragtag-team， fast-paced heist story that we know and love is gone。 Not only are the characters isolated from each other for the second half of the book （which means no witty banter， boo）， but ev 3。5/5 starsWe have failed， but I hope they will see how hard we tried。Everyone's right: There is something weird going on with the pacing here。 I read the first half of this book in a single day， but it took about a week to finish the rest。 What I loved about Aurora Rising was utterly lost in Book 2。 The ragtag-team， fast-paced heist story that we know and love is gone。 Not only are the characters isolated from each other for the second half of the book （which means no witty banter， boo）， but everything just got so。。。 sad。 And sad is boring。 I miss the constantly failing plans coming up out of nowhere—instead， their problems are now too big to fight against。 They were rudderless and their lack of active choice made the story fall flat。Let's face it: The Aurora Cycle is a space opera。 The pure， melodramatic fun is what I loved so dearly about the first book。 Unfortunately， book 2 rolls around and the melodrama just felt。。。 whiney。SORRY but this was a big disappointment。 。。。more

The sequel gets deeper into some character backstory and at the same time furthers the plot along while revealing some key points about the world！ I loved Zila's backstory。 Taking off one star for feeling annoyed a bit with the huge cliffhangers at the end and some character reactions that felt a little forced。 I love this crew and also normally love romance， but sometimes the suggestive comments seemed to come out of nowhere。 This book made me feel love and annoyance， like the way you feel abou The sequel gets deeper into some character backstory and at the same time furthers the plot along while revealing some key points about the world！ I loved Zila's backstory。 Taking off one star for feeling annoyed a bit with the huge cliffhangers at the end and some character reactions that felt a little forced。 I love this crew and also normally love romance， but sometimes the suggestive comments seemed to come out of nowhere。 This book made me feel love and annoyance， like the way you feel about a younger sibling。 You will always love them but they still bug you now and then！ 。。。more

It’s taken almost a year to read。 And I’m happy to say this is another case of it was me and not the book， darn pandemic。I’ve finally finished and I’m happy to say with that ending it was best I hadn’t finished。 My wait won’t be too long。Though I enjoyed this book， I was unhappy with the lot of them。 How easily they turned their back on one of their own。 Still I need to see this through。Narration was fantastic but I missed the full cast of the original series。

WHAT THE HECK！？HOW COULD YOU END IT LIKE THAT！？ It’s going to suck to have to wait so long for the next bookI am too stunned by the ending that I don’t have many thoughts。 I love Tyler and Saedii。 I love all of Squad 312。 And I can’t wait to see what happens next。 I really really hope they all survive。 UghhhhhhI need book 3！！ Now！！
