Aurora (Exodus / Raging Earth #3)
Much of Earth is underwater - in the high mountains at the top of the world Lily survives with her mother and her people . . . but she feels trapped. Elsewhere, beneath the exclusive sky-cities that tower above the waves, Fox has been waiting too. But when Fox and Lily meet on a virtual plane, they realize the time has come to act. The world must be made whole again, even...more

I thoroughly enjoyed Exodus and Zenith, and eagerly awaited Aurora’s debut for what felt like a lifetime! However, I was slightly disappointed by Aurora.
I think Julie Bertagna is a wonderful author: she has created this amazing story and great characters; however it felt to me like the book should have been longer. It almost seemed like the book was originally longer but the editors decided to cut bits out as young readers obviously can’t concentrate for very long.

I'll review the entire trilogy in one.
I liked the trilogy, its premise and characters. I was gripped enough to read them quickly. At times the pace slowed or the dynamics didn't quite come together. I didn't like how the final book (this one) ended - it dropped many characters, and it's just not quite conclusive enough, even for me, someone who loves open endings. It could do with a further 2-3 chapters, but no more. I hope there is not 4th book because it really only needs a couple more...more

Aurora is the final book in Julie Bertagna's trilogy of a water destroyed world. It has been many years since the events in Zenith. Mara and her group are settled in the mountains of the north. Fox and Pandora are setting up rebellion in New Mungo and throughout the other skycities. Lily, Fox and Mara's daughter, finds out about her missing father and sets off to find him.

The narration in these books is more like what you'd see in a short story. It's a lot of description, and even the action scenes are not very exciting. The characters never seem to learn their lessons and the ones who are supposed to be thirty act like they're still fifteen. I didn't like how they were narrated so simply, and the term fox-flame got on my nerves. It was a good storyline though, and a good idea to start from. Just didn't like the way it was executed.
This is an enchantingly beautiful finish to the Exodus trilogy... Or is it?
Some readers may be disappointed, especially if they're all for "Mara and Fox", but if you can overlook this small twist to the novel, you're in for an unputdownable ride.
The story follows Lily Longhope's quest to meet the father she's never known about.
Readers will be delighted to once again follow the journeys of Mara, Fox, and now Lily. This book is truly exceptional.

I enjoyed this book and liked learning about Mara's daughter and some other characters from the story. However, I also think this book felt "rushed" and could have been longer. I would have liked to see some more resolution to parts of the story too and not be left hanging with the open-ended ending.
A beautiful conclusion to the Exodus trilogy. But as someone else said in their review, it just didn't feel long enough. I want more! Some of it felt a little rushed.
But it was such an exciting read! And I really wish this wasn't the end for all the characters I know and love, I want the story to continue...

I waited a long time to read the end of Mara and Fox's adventure, and was a bit dissapointed with the end of the book. Things were left undone, and destinies were up int the air for most of the characters... It could have been so awesome...
Cette série se termine sur un tome plutôt moyen...
