Queridos Amie Kauffman y Jay Kristoff: los odio.

"We the Legion. We the light. Burning bright against the night."

Hay algo en la escritura de estos dos, algo que me dejó fascinada en Illuminae, algo que afortunadamente me volví a encontrar en Aurora Rising, esa crudeza con la que bailan en cada escena de acción, esa imprevisibilidad, la capacidad que ambos tienen para crear plots que todo el tiempo juegan con tu cabeza y de paso te cachetean varias veces a lo largo del transcurso de la historia.

No termino de concebir esa capacidad que ambos tienen de condensar tantos elementos en una historia, tantos sentimientos, en un momento estas riendo por el tipo de humor que manejan y plasman en el libro, y al rato terminas mirando hacia la nada tratando de sobrellevar el shock y asimilar lo que acaba de pasar. La capacidad de hacerte experimentar una montaña rusa de emociones es algo que destaque en su momento sobre la escritura de Illuminae, y es algo que vuelvo a rescatar en AuRi.

El worldbuilding de este libro no es otra cosa más que sublime, excelentemente pensado. Además, más una trama ejecutada de la mejor manera y 7 personajes que se robarán tu corazón y te maravillaran a partes iguales, Aurora Rising resulta un libro con elementos alucinantes, listo para dejarte sin aliento.

¿Y ese final? Oh god, ni 5 meses de terapia me van a hacer superar ese final.

Aurora Rising es un sci-fi emocionante, narrado según las múltiples y particulares perspectivas de personajes increíbles, este libro te llevará a vivir una historia más allá de este planeta. Y definitivamente memorable.

Obviously I'm awful at writing reviews on time because I finished this in January in like three days and I forgot to even mark that I read it SIGH

Anyways I really enjoyed this book, so much that I had to inhale the second book as fast as humanly possible. I L O V E D the found idiotic family, Fin is an absolute riot, and the shenanigans be shenaniganing. The end was awfully therapy inducing. Looking forward to sobbing through the rest of this storyline

This is hard. There was so much potential, good plot.

But they ruin it all by throwing “captain hotness” , “bee-bro”? and a boy crazed girl who has had over 50 boyfriends at the age of 18???
