While I cannot say that I enjoyed this more than the Illuminae files, Aurora Rising definitely delivers with a fun plot that kept me guessing, interesting, nuanced and unique characters that I loved, and scratches the Scifi itch if you’ve got one. I could also recommend it for younger readers (teens who are interested in maybe dipping their toes in Scifi if they Haven’t ever before.
I look forward to reading Aurora Burning and Auroras End in the near future!!

It does have abelism against an autistic-coded character, making it seem like she is deficit because she doesn't understand the feelings of others the way neurotypcials do. This is disappointing as a direct contrast to the books I just read* where the autistic character is loved as she is and provided accommodations by her friends as a matter of course.
