The Aurora Cycle books just keep getting better. The stakes increase, but the Squad 312 keeps finding new ways to battle them. I devoured this book, and I hope I still had more to read of the Squad. I guess I will see them in the stars.

The plot ties all the loose ends from the first two books into an ornate and tidy knot in a way that I'm in awe witnessing. The last book in this trilogy is the most ambitious one in the series, but it holds up to every expectation I had for it, or even exceeds them. Aurora's End made me hold my breath, gasp, tear up, and laugh. It takes a very capturing and entertaining book to evoke so many visible emotions in me.

I usually greatly dislike the main characters being separated for the bigger part of the book, but in Aurora's end I enjoyed that concept. That may be mainly because the characters all have someone with them to have their back, which made me very happy, and I adore the Squad 312 so much I'll gladly read any added snippet of their lives. I loved following the different plot lines — and

time lines

of the charaters'. The hints in the previous books made me think of

time travel

already before, but I could not anticipate the way it is executed in this book. So great!

This was a wonderful read; definitely a tear jerker at times! I'm glad everyone has a happy ending, and I was disappointed to not be able to see how the journey continues after the last chapter of the book! The time travel/middle of the book seemed to drag on for a little while, but it wasn't boring enough to make me want to stop reading it. Overall, a fantastic end to a great series!

The over-sexualization of teenagers was far too much for me. In all three books, there was too much sex/extreme romance for my taste, however, this one, I found, was mainly centered around sex and extreme romance. The book itself was alright, with plenty of diversity, and I enjoyed that one of the main characters used an exoskeleton in order to move around. I did find myself confused in some of the later chapters (around the last 100 pages) as to whose point of view and

time frame

it was.

I’VE BEEN SOBBING SINCE PAGE 402.

The character development in this book—and series—is fantastic. Tyler sheds his goldenboy persona but not his integrity and heroics. Scarlett proves herself to be more than just diplomatic. Kal…that’s spoilers, I think. Auri is…very powerful and is so open-minded. Finian is quick as a whip and I’m very proud of this fictional character. Zila does find happiness. Chooses happiness.

And Saedii is cutthroat as ever. We don’t see her too much but a certain someone does.

The story itself was great. I’m a big fan of stories that have an explosive climax. In fact, this whole book felt like one big climax. There was so much going on, so many plot twists, so many “oh WHAT” moments. I read it in two days because I just wanted to see what would happen next.

For those of you worried, it is a happy ending. I don’t think that’s a spoiler. I just prefer to know before reading books what sort of ending it’ll be so I can prepare myself. Enjoy :)
