I came into this book (and trilogy) on the heels of Illuminae Files.
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!!
