Nov 30, 2021 Katerina rated it it was amazing

5/5 ⭐️

I did it!! I finished this absolutely wondrous, out of this world, mind-blowing, breathtaking end to a trilogy that has captured my heart.

I don't think anyone can convince me otherwise, Kaufman and Kristoff are a dynamic power couple when it comes to writing and creating stories together. Kaufman's flare of love mixed with Kristoff's dark humor makes up this epic masterpiece. I honestly hope they continue to create stories together in the future because once again they have delivered a st 5/5 ⭐️

Aurora's End picks right up where we are left off in that doozy of a cliff-hanger in Aurora Burning. I just remember my heart being torn to pieces at the end and the overwhelming need to know what happens next. I was not disappointed.

"Stories never die," she counters.
"They do not. But in a book, you always know where to find them again. They have a home."

The biggest applause I have for Aurora's End is the plot, the plot twists, and the tying of all three books together. Kaufman and Kristoff were sneaky, they left clues to everything in every single book and it takes until the final book to finally understand and piece it all together. I was absolutely mind-blown. And that's hard for me to say, since I always guess a YA books plot/ending within the first 50 pages. I am happy to say that I was left blown away when certain pieces were revealed. It's why I love these authors so much, they just work so well together.

"You will not lose me," I vow. "I am yours forever. When the fire of the last sun fails, my love for you will still burn."

As for the characters - Auri, Kal, Cat, Tyler, Scarlett, Zila, Fin - while it would have been nice for them to have been together as the true Squad 312 each had such an important role to the plot and there was no other way this could been achieved if they were together. Each squad member had to learn how to grow on their own outside of the group and grow they did. Zila is finally understanding what found family really means, Scarlett is learning what true love is, Auri is learning what sacrifice means, Tyler is growing into the man his father wanted him to become. All these characters were growing as the plot thickened.

There is something for everyone in this book: found family, romance, space-fights, intergalactic war, action, twists, evil aliens, redemption, diverse characters, multiple sexual orientations. You name it you most likely will find it within the pages.
