Aurora Cylce

aka Aurora Rising

Authors: Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff

I just recently finished this book, it took about a day and a half. And OH MY GAWD! Was it ever worth it, the plot simply had me on the edge of my seat. The entire time! It was one action packed chapter to another! Just when I thought I could have a breather I was worrying about squad 312 safety all over again. I was between pacing across my house enough to leave road marks on the floor and hysterically sobbing over a certain tomboy pilot -who totally doesn’t like her Alpha in case you were wondering... I thought I’d never move on from my book crush, until I found this needle in the haystack. It snatched my heart and now I have something else to dwell on for the rest of my life, lucky me. Not to mention the amount of times I couldn’t decide who I wanted Auri to be with! But eventually, I figured it out and now I’m hooked on the temperamental alien. Judging by the fact that he’s on the cover of Aurora Burning (which is the next instalment), I’m assuming I picked the right boy. Who doesn’t want a hot space elf? I’m getting Rowan Whitethorn and Rhysand vibes from him, the white hair and violet eyes does not help. Hopefully the next novel will touch more into his past and home planet, I want to know more about the unbroken and his Warbreed mark. (He’s on the cover it’s kind of given that Cycle 02 is more about him). Anywho... Normally I don't go for books with multiple different povs but this novel was simply to tempting to not pick up. Finian was by far my favourite sassy alien, and a bisexual king! While I want him to end up with Scarlet in a way, I have my doubts. They just seem like they’d be best friends instead, plus I heard someone mention how they wanted him with Tyler and I can’t get that out of my head now. Once imagined, it was over for my poor heart. And then there’s Zila, well she’s kind of self explanatory... I love my cute sociopathic scientist and her blaster, but I need more of her before I can truly make up my mind about her. Let’s just say when I finished it I was breathless- SPOILERS BELOW STOP SCROLLING IF YOU DONT WANT TO KNOW!

-_-

-how could they just leave Cat!? I know it was for the safety of the squad, but..... still Cat! I was really skeptic of her character a lot during this book, she had a badass personality and a back bone. But also at times I felt it was unnecessary, maybe it's just because I shipped Aurora and Tyler so hard in the beginning, and Cat was just in the way. But eventually I got over it when I realized they had nothing in common, and their friendship was more important to me. Plus I much prefer her with Kal! And I can't wait tell the next book arrives at my house on the 8th! Yes.. of course I ordered it right away. I've spent my way into the Olympic level on how to waste money on books. All in all I really hope Cat is okay, and doesn't have flowers growing out of her eye sockets because I don't know how they'd get her back from there. And a part of me thinks she's gone and is going to end up with GIA, while another thinks she's still in there and at the end of the series is either going to miraculously be rescued and back to her badass self, or sacrifice herself for her squad one last time... can't wait!

*slightly panicking about who I'm going to lose next*

- I swear to god if the hot shot crossed out on the cover of Aurora Burning means Tyler Jones is dead, imma quit this series. HE IS THE SERIES.

If they kill off my baby boy might as well kill them all. I can’t lose those dimples in my life.

- I've also heard a lot of things about the authors tricking you, so I'm worried about Kal and Auri. They're relationship is so pure and even though there wasn't much in the first book tell the end, I'm already hooked on the ship. THEY NEED TO BE ENDGAME!!!

- Someone give Finian a hug.

Books have caused me genuine emotional trauma

My fear for the Aurora Cycle...

Me, with a book that I love: “omfg this book is amazing it deserves a movie!!”

Also me, when a book I love is rumoured to be turned into a movie: “omfg they’re going to ruin it is nothing sacred”

This is so gorgeous I’d sell my soul to have it in my house!

Super excited to finally reveal this illustration, featured on the latest LitJoy Crate puzzle in their February 2020 Box, Once Upon a Retelling! Inspired by ACOTAR, the ladies at Litjoy Crate pitched an amazing idea to crossover the characters with the stained glass aesthetics of Beauty And The Beast! Featuring Rhysand & Tamlin with their beast forms, Feyre, a rosey cauldron, and backdrops of Velaris and Rose Hall. ✨ 🌹 I had so much fun with this one, and dropped in a lot of easter eggs from the series, 14 items in total! Though, I must admit I’m kicking myself for missing the most obvious item to include, one that was at the very top of my list but in the end never made it into the piece!! 😩 Feyre’s paintbrushes!

Kal: How's the prettiest person in the galaxy doing?

Auri, not looking up: I don't know, how are you?

Kal:

Kal, voice cracking: I'm fine
