Aurora Burning: The Aurora Cycle 2
Aurora Burning: The Aurora Cycle 2 | Amie Kaufman, Jay Kristoff
Our heroes are back. Kind of. First, the bad news: an ancient evil - you know, your standard consume-all-life-in-the-galaxy deal - is about to be unleashed. The good news? Squad 312 is standing by to save the day. They've just got to take care of a few small distractions first. Like the clan of gremps who'd like to rearrange their favourite faces. And the cadre of illegit GIA agents with creepy flowers where their eyes used to be, who'll stop at nothing to get their hands on Auri. Then there's Kal's long-lost sister, who's not exactly happy to see her baby brother, and has a Syldrathi army at her back. With half the known galaxy on their tails, Squad 312 has never felt so wanted. When they learn the Hadfield has been found, it's time to come out of hiding. Two centuries ago the colony ship vanished, leaving Auri as its sole survivor. Now, its black box might be what saves them - but time is short, and if Auri can't learn to master her powers as a Trigger, the squad and all their admirers are going to be deader than the Great Ultrasaur of Abraaxis IV. Shocking revelations, bank heists, mysterious gifts, inappropriately tight bodysuits and an epic firefight will determine the fate of the Aurora Legion's most unforgettable heroes - and maybe the rest of the galaxy as well.

A good continuation of the story in this interesting and all-involving trilogy. Some interesting developments that I certainly didn‘t see coming. The all-cast audiobook is good but feel as though missing some bits, so at some point want to read the actual books.

I'm struggling on this series because the characters all fall into obvious stereo-types and stay well in their lanes. Additionally, these characters don't really have freedom of decision here. They are all reacting to the situations around them and only have the illusion of choice. However, while this annoys me, the time traveling concept has kept me hooked, and I already own the last book So, I'll definitely be finishing this series up.

It was really annoying that the whole team turned on Kal because he didn't tell them that his father is an evil POS. If the future holds the same values that 'you are your parents' then humanity doesn't deserve a place in intergalactic society.

Other than that. Story is moving along and is still interesting

This was such a let down after the first book. It lacked all of the charm and humor of the first book. It was predictable, a little bit trite and the new characters added very little to the story.

I am so disappointed. This really killed any interest I had in this series

Honestly I had forgotten how much a party like #Scarathlon can inspire me to read!! I have completed 7 books for week one and read a total of 2444 pages!! Thanks for being #TeamSlaughter 's captain @Clwojick - my week one total is 1370!!!

Clwojick Awesome job! These events always get me out of a rut! My reading stats have been so low this year compared to usual, and I‘ve been in a reading rut since March, but thanks to Scarathlon My pace is picking back up. I should have hosted another event like this earlier in the year 😂 3y
TheAromaofBooks @Clwojick - I know, because this one and #WinterGames are kind of close together. It would be fun to do one in the spring, although I'm not sure what the theme would be?? But something in March/April would be super fun. Something about filling stuff into the spreadsheet & watching points rack up really does get my more excited about reading!! 3y
candc320 Amazing job!!! 3y

Clwojick We considered doing a romance one for February last year, but again, that‘s only a month after winter games ends lol. Maybe March would be a good idea for all those student Littens who are on March break. 3y
TheAromaofBooks @candc320 - Thank you!!! 3y
TheAromaofBooks @Clwojick - Oh the romance one does sound fun, though! Maybe we just need to schedule them every other month 😂 3y

The good news: this book did not suffer from Second Book Slump.
The bad news: I have to wait until mid-November to find out how it all comes together!!!!

Okay, I fee like I read somewhere that book doesn't have to be officially "classified" as our team theme to count as a theme read - i.e. this book isn't officially thriller/suspense but I could barely put it down...so does it count for the 15 points or 5 for an "other" read?

Here is my October #BookSpinBingo card - I boldly left myself zero free spaces, which could be an issue since I've been reading the tagged book... which isn't on my list 😂 Still, I am super excited about making some progress on some mystery series!!!

rabbitprincess I see some Shetland and 87th Precinct on there! 😊 3y
TheAromaofBooks @rabbitprincess - Yes!!! I only have 5 books left of the 87th Precinct... started reading them in April 2018 so I'm excited to finally conclude the series!! 😂 I've only read the first of the Shetland Island books but really enjoyed it and since there are only 8 books altogether I'm going to try to read that entire series this month. There are also 5 books from the Leaphorn & Chee series - I quite liked the first 5 so I'm excited about those also! 3y

I've finished both Aurora books & I'm trying to patiently wait on the last book. These were so good. I got into it very quickly. They're my first space themed books. I give them 9.5 outta 10🍪 (and I named my new puppy Aurora Jie-Lin)

So many loved this second installment of the Aurora Cycle series. For me, I found the plot predictable and the characters where not a great fit with the plot. Also, the twist was no surprise. I did love the narrators and they saved the book. If I had read the book instead of listening to it I would probably have bailed. Then there is the cliffhanger. I can't even call it a cliffhanger because the book ended in the middle of a scene.

TheSpineView Terribly disappointed and doubt I will read the next book. Let alone pay good money for it! 3y
TheSpineView One last thought. The book is a perfect example of failed execution. 3y
LibrarianRyan Ohhh. That is on the top of my list to get read. Ohhhhh. This pains me. 3y
TheSpineView @LibrarianRyan A lot of people loved it. For me it just fell short on so many levels. 3y

"Oh no?" she asks, cracking off a shot at our pursuers.
"No!" I drag her inside. "Just less amazing ones!"

🌟🌟🌟🌟 — This is only book 2 of the series and it already feels like I've been following these characters forever. The plot is engaging, but the cast is far and above the highlight of this series. Each has a unique voice and complex motivations. This book pushed them all to their limits and the authors never took the easy way out with their writing. There's high energy action, drama, moral ambiguity, and cliffhangers to boot!
