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

With time travel being introduced at the end of the second book, I didn’t really have a choice here but to accept it.
And, I’ll admit, Kaufman and Kristoff did a really good job keeping the details and rules of the time jumps clear for the readers (mostly through Zila).
It did lead to me getting turned around quite a few times though.
That development made no sense to me.
With Fin’s help, she came to understand her incredible value to the squad, which she hadn’t seen before, and she opened her eyes enough to see Finian in front of her.
Finian - My favorite wiseass. Finaian kicked butt in this book and finally got Scarlett to see how amazing he is. What more can be said about Finian de Seel?

Lediglich das Ende selbst war sehr kitschig und hätte gerne anders ablaufen dürfen. Genauso wie sämtliche Szenen zwischen Aurora und Kal.
Viel besser fand ich die Kapitel von Tyler und Saedii, von denen ich schon im zweiten Buch ein großer Fan war, und von Scarlett und Finian.
Die Geschichte hinter der Gründung der Aurora Legion sowie den Gegenständen, die dem Squad hinterlassen wurden, war super interessant und berührend.

Jay Kristoff, one of the authors of Aurora's End, is very problematic. So, if you are interested in this book series buy them secondhand or get them at the library.

This series was very enjoyable to me and the final book did not disappoint. Of course not everything was amazing and there are some things I would change. Multiple times throughout the series, and especially this book, I felt like the characters were reduced to a few traits or people. I also didn't love the time travel route they went with. I overall liked this book, but it wasn't the best I've read.
