Aurora Rising
by Jay Kristoff, Amie Kaufman
Aurora smiles, weak and watery, but true. “Squad 312 forever.”
Woah woah woah, hold the fuck up did I just stumble upon my absolute favorite sci-fi book ever?
You damn right I did. I cannot correctly gather the fitting words to explain how much, I absolutely love this freaking book. Yes, I read illuminae. I love Jay, everyone knows this— Mia is my queen but dude? Aurora Rising deserved it’s freaking hype.
I think what stuck out to me the most about this book was the squad factor. I’m a sucker when it comes to a squad of misfits where all the odds are stacked against them -galaxy- and they become a family. It’s one of my favorite tropes and when it’s done as well as AR was, well I obsess.
The humor in this book is so goooood, I love a good sarcastic character so of course. Finian and Scarlett had me LIVING! I love the realistic coming together as well, because dude no one on this squad wanted to be on this squad and it was so hilarious.
AR is a rollercoaster of emotions. One minute I’m laughing, the next I’m screaming, then I’m sobbing, then I’m doing all of it at the same time.
By the end of the book, I loved all of the characters and the heartbreaking ending seriously made me sob because holy shit,
Also people are shipping Finian and Scarlett right? Please tell me you are BECAUSE I LOVE THEM.
But can I point out the main couple that really snuck up on me?? Dude Kal is SO CUTE!!! I’m not going into spoilers but if you know, well you know! That pair stole my heart,
“What does the name you call me mean?” I ask.
“Be’shmai?” He replies. “There... there is no adequate human word for it.”
“What about inadequate words, then?”
His answer is very soft.
“Beloved.”
Did I fucking die?? What is that cute shit?? Is that even fucking allowed???
I’m— I need book 2, I need fucking answers! I need to see my children again! Also I read the physical book & audiobook, and the audio is stunning.
Welp that’s it, I’m sad. I miss my squad :(
