Aurora's End (The Aurora Cycle)

Product Information

Botanical Abomination: The Ra'haam, a thing that controls people by implanting plant-like growths in them, and wants to devour all life in the galaxy. Just like with the previous novels, Aurora’s End is told utilising six split perspectives, with each of the surviving squad members going into the final book getting multiple chapters.

It May Help You on Your Quest: The gifts from Admiral Adams and Battle Leader de Stoy to the members of Squad 312 do not come with instructions and appear at first to just be nice trinkets. He doesn't fight the Ra'haam until he is absolutely forced to and he doesn't grow out of his xenophobic behaviour until he meets his partially-Terran granddaughter. He is the winner of five Aurealis Awards, an ABIA, has over half a million books in print and is published in over thirty five countries, most of which he has never visited. Their latest collaboration, The Aurora Cycle, has been a particularly amazing young adult science fiction series, and I have been really enjoying its cool story. TM has neither pork nor apple in it, and that a meal like the Beef "Stew"-n-Mash TM would be considered an act of war in some cultures.These arcs include a more comedic one surrounding the sarcastic Finian and the perhaps oversexualised Scarlett as they explore their new relationship while the world continuously explodes around them. I don’t remember at what age the jones lost their father but I don’t know why I feel that’s connected.

Fake-Out Make-Out: Tyler does this with Kal when they sneak into Sempiternity's computer hub so Finian can install a leech when the two are nearly discovered by a computer tech.Weapon of Mass Destruction: The Starslayer has one, the use of which turned the Syldrathi star into a black hole. Aurora Jie-Lin O'Malley is rather bemused when she finds out that she's at the headquarters of the Aurora Legion, housing the Aurora Academy, named after the Aurora star system.

Fake Defector: During the heist on the World Ship, Cat plays this role as part of the plan, pretending to take up the offer from a squad of GIA agents who try to turn her. Government Conspiracy: It becomes clear by the end of the first book that the human military, and likely the government, is under the control of people infested with Ra'haam, who are carrying out its bidding. Forced to team up with the most dangerous being in existence, Kal’s genocidal father, Caersan, Auri and Kal embark on a dangerous mission through the Ra’haam controlled future with some unexpected help. 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. Anywhere but Their Lips: After Tyler offers to give Saedii cover during a firefight, to give her a chance to escape, she kisses him on the cheek.Tyler really suffers in this book, and you must feel sorry for everything he goes through, even if he does start a passionate, if exceedingly violent relationship with a warrior alien princess. Dug Too Deep: The Octavia colonists encountered the hibernating Ra'haam during their geological excavations into the planet's mantle. 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. And that's not the newly-formed Aurora Legion Squad 312's biggest problem: When they're sent out on their first mission, an apparently mundane supply run, they quickly find that the girl out of time that Ty rescued, Aurora Jie-Lin "Auri" O'Malley, has stowed away on their ship. Finian was raised on a space station, due to its low gravity being beneficial to his medical condition.

Just like the previous novels in this series, Aurora’s End is marketed as a young adult read, and I would strongly recommend it to this audience.

Forced to work alone and against the odds, Tyler needs to travel back to the one place he considers home, the highly secure Aurora Legion headquarters. I Choose to Stay: Near the end of Aurora's End, Zila decides to stay in the past to ensure the success of the mission. Deadpan Snarker: Every main character has moments of snarkiness, but Scar (with her "scarcasm") and Fin take the prize for Most Sarcastic. It" Is Dehumanizing: The GIA personnel are referred to as "it" to emphasize how inhuman their full-body armour makes them.
