Book Review: Aurora’s End (The Aurora Cycle #3) by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff

Hi Cara, Today I am reviewing the final book in the Aurora Cycle trilogy. Aurora End comes out on the 9th November 2021. The previous books in the trilogy are

1. Aurora Rising.

2. Aurora Burning.

 

Synopsis

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 team has one last chance to rewrite this. 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.

Opinion

Aurora's End continues Amie and Jay storytelling ability to break your heart and then put's it all back together. All the while the characters are dealing with drama, danger and revelations.

There are several OMG moments in Aurora's End when connections are made and everything starts to make more sense. One of my favourite aspects of Aurora's End was the section regarding the loop. Don't want to say any more as I don't want to spoil anything. 

I also enjoyed the character growth in all the main characters. Especially when it comes to the romance department. 

The ending took me by surprise and I am still not sure how I feel about it. But overall I enjoyed how it all comes together, it was never boring. 

My rating for Aurora End is 4.5 out of 5.
