They're not the heroes we deserve. They're just the ones we could find. Nobody panic.



SQUAD GOALS!! I loved this band of misfits so much! I adored every single one of the characters, and they each had their own distinct personalities. Switching POVs doesn't usually work for me, but it did in this book! You get to see seven different points of view, which sounds intimidating but it really works here. It gives you a feel for each of the characters and how their minds work! Snarky Finian, steadfast Kal, witty Scarlet, pragmatic Tyler, stoic Zila, tenacious Kat. And of course, our girl out of time, Auri. They all seemed so real in my mind, so distinctive. (I am DYING to make custom funkos of them all!)

This squad of rejects gave me some serious feels! I love that they're all thrown together against their will, starting out with disdain (if not outright hatred) and distrust and slowly evolving into a real team. A family. The moments where they voiced that sense of family gave me ALL THE FEELS!

And looking around the bridge, I realize maybe, just maybe, I've found my clan in this squad. (Fin)

"The only places I fit are the places inside my head. [...] But I believe of all the places I have not fit, I fit here a little better." (Zila)

We're maybe about to go through hell. But truth is, despite everything, there's no one else in the 'Way I'd want leading me. (Cat)

If your squad was hard to find, or you're still looking, then this one is for you.

"Do moons choose the planets they orbit? Do planets choose their stars? Who am I to deny gravity, Aurora? When you shine brighter than any constellation in the sky?"
