Aurora Rising by Jay Kristoff, Amie Kaufman

4.0

I haven't read sci-fi in a while, but this book hooked me right away. It more than exceeded my expectations of the blurb.

The day before having to choose his team, Ty, the academy's star pupil, decides to log in some hours out in space. However, when there, he finds a survivor from a shipwreck from about 200 years ago. Because of this, he's late in choosing his team, and now he has misfits as team members, but things are not as bad as he though–at least at the beginning. The survivor he brought back, Aurora, has powers that an entity as old as time wants and Ty and his team members need to defeat the enemy before it destroys the universe.

I can't wait to start book 2.
