Aurora's End (The Aurora Cycle)

Product Information

This nearly happens to Squad 312, but Zila points out that she's deduced this is likely to occur and persuades Tyler to lead an escape. Personally I feel like Aurora Falling or Aurora Collapsing might be extremely fitting 😂 I'll update the title as soon as it is revealed, so no one will miss anything! I Don't Want to Ruin Our Friendship: Tyler turned down Cat this way, and it's been something of a strain between them ever since. I also love the way in which Kaufman and Kristoff layer in the action and humour throughout the entire novel, with various fun scenes featured throughout.

The Cavalry: After losing the Aurora Armada against the Ra'haam, Saedii comes in with the Syldrathi fleets to help Tyler. Fictional United Nations: The Aurora Legion is a joint venture between the humans, Betraskans and most recently Free Syldrathi that serves as a neutral mediating force.Drives Like Crazy: Zila, when asked to lose the people tailing them, calmly asks the squad to secure their safety harnesses. Saedii would always brush off Ty when he wanted to help her after a fight (not with him, with bad guys).

Quarantine with Extreme Prejudice: Locations under Galactic Interdiction are deemed to be so dangerous that galactic law dictates any ship trespassing in an interdicted area be vapourized on sight.Please refrain from talking directly under the wiki entries, as some people might have not yet finished or even started it! Finally, you have the storyline in the future, which is an emotional and powerful post-apocalyptic narrative that sees Auri and Kal forced to contend not only with a hostile galaxy completely taken over by the Ra’haam but also with Kal’s insane and manipulative father. Non-Action Guy: Fin has very fragile bones and has to wear a suit that helps him handle regular gravity due to an illness as a child, so he usually stays out of the front-line fighting. Demonic Possession: The Ra'haam infects people who encounter it on its incubation planets and takes them over. Tyler describing TDF note Terra Defence Force escape pods: While this pod might look like a fish and move like a fish, it steers a lot like a cow.

Running Gag: The various members of the squad yelling for Magellan, Auri's second-hand uniglass with an AI personality, to go on silent mode. I deeply appreciated the various character arcs featured throughout this novel, and Kaufman and Kristoff go out of their way to make you run the full emotional gauntlet here. The characters are forced to work through an exploding, high-security station to find a way to travel back in time, with a substantial number of hilarious deaths and mistakes along the way.It is noted earlier in the book that Tyler never swears, and indeed, this is the first and only time in the book that he says any swear words stronger than the occasional "damn". This was also quite a mature and positive read, with multiple examples of romantic relationships, complex issues, and great portrayals of LGBT+ relationships that will be appealing to the younger audience, especially as the authors do not try to talk down to their chosen readers. However, it works incredibly well, as Kaufman and Kristoff produced some epic and exciting storylines that remain mostly separate throughout the entirety of the book. I didn’t understand why Fin was on the cover (I assumed will be Ty, idk why but seemed logical) but now I get it.

Half-Human Hybrid: In the second book, it is revealed that Tyler's and Scarlett's mother was Waywalker Syldrathi. Over the course of the A urora Cycle, the reader has had a wonderful time getting to know all the protagonists, all of whom have grown throughout the series, while also experiencing loss, heartbreak, betrayal, and devastating revelations.

Subsequently, Auri and Kal arrive years in the future, where the Ra’haam have won, and all hope seems lost. Unlike the previous novels that have focused on a couple of the characters a little more, there was a much more even spread amongst the characters, with each getting their moment in the light. However, I think that some of their strongest work has been together, as Kaufman and Kristoff have previously co-authored the acclaimed The Illuminae Files trilogy.
