I'm unsure if it is just the fact that this novel sparked me out of a reading slump, or if it is truly this amazing. 
TBH, there are some predictable events in the story and usual tropes, but it feels new and fresh. The pace is so fast and the characters are killer. 
Amazing read, definitely a win.

Aurora Rising is the first book in the series "Aurora Cycle" and it follows the journey of a space squad as they try to figure out the powers of their new friend and what secrets her past holds. This futuristic sci-fi novel has a sort of found family trope, adventures, aliens, and a touch of romance.
I like stories being told through multiple points of view, but I think this book overdid it a bit, as there were quite a few main characters. The switching back and forth was pretty confusing, as were the futuristic names, which made it hard to follow at times. As someone who doesn't love a lot of violence in their books, I found the few fist-fights and injuries described not too overwhelming, and I would recommend this book for 14+
