Aurora’s End (Aurora Cycle #3)
Summary:
Is this the end?
What happens when you ask a bunch of losers, discipline cases, and misfits to save the galaxy from an ancient evil? The ancient evil wins, of course.
Wait. . . . Not. So. Fast.
When we last saw Squad 312, they were working together seamlessly (aka, freaking out) as an intergalactic battle raged and an ancient superweapon threatened to obliterate Earth. Everything went horribly wrong, naturally.
But as it turns out, not all endings are endings, and the team has one last chance to rewrite theirs. Maybe two. It's complicated.
Cue Zila, Fin, and Scarlett (and MAGELLAN!): making friends, making enemies, and making history? Sure, no problem.
Cue Tyler, Kal, and Auri: uniting with two of the galaxy’s most hated villains? Um, okay. That, too.
Actually saving the galaxy, though?
Now that will take a miracle.

Review:
At the end of Aurora Burning we were left in a scenario that was started to be a bit devoid of hope in trying to save the galaxy, but this conclusion was more satisfying than what I expected. In truth the second book is just a bridge between the first and last in the series given that there was not much resolved in book two. There are several timelines that must be wrapped up and, while long at times, it is well done.
One of the major things that has to be resolved is the situation with Ra’haam and I’ll just warn you there is a good time loop that is confusing at first, but it does resolve. Keep an eye out for Zila, she had me very worried! Also, make sure you stick around for the epilogue.
Warning: Contains repeated violence
Rating: 5 stars!
