3/13/2021 Aurora Erwacht by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff What a fun and action-filled read it was! Wow. I had a great time reading it and with Aurora, the author duo has created a great main character among all the other figures in this novel. Cannot wait to read the second book Aurora burning. Aurora Erwacht* by Amie Kaufman, Jay Kristoff The Aurora Cycle #1 Translation Nadine Püschel Original Title Aurora Rising Publisher Fischer Sauerländer on February 24, 2021 Genre Fantasy Pages 487 Format Paperback Source Fischer Sauerländer Goodreads ✶✶✶✶½ The year is 2380. Tyler Jones has just completed his training at Aurora Academy and is about to assemble his first team. The coolest and best squad a senior Aurora Academy graduate has ever seen! But on the eve of the team selection, everything is different. Tyler CAN. NOT. SLEEP. He goes on a forbidden excursion and comes across a wrecked spaceship in interdimensional space. The only survivor onboard: Aurora, a girl who has been in cryosleep for the past 200 years. Perhaps it would have been better not to wake her. War threatens to break out – and his team, of all people, is supposed to prevent it. Ouuups. Don´t panic!(personal translation by ©Vi at Inkvotary). Story Aurora is looking forward to starting her life at Octavia III. But when she comes out of the cryosleep, she must learn that she isn´t where she thought she´d be. That she´d slept for 200 years and that the world she once knew, doesn´t exist anymore. Tyler is the only person she somehow trusts and with him, she goes on a journey she never thought she would be a part of. Style What an ingenious mix of humor, sarcasm, irony, and a great story. For me, one of the reading highlights in 2021. And yes, I am aware that the year is still young. Aurora Rising makes every fantasy-heart beat faster and made me aware again that nothing, absolutely nothing, should be taken for granted. With this book, Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff show once again how great they are in the team and with how much heart and soul they pursue their passion. Okay, the scenes on one planet, were a bit scary with all the botany everywhere. But still wonderful to read and incredibly well integrated into the overall story. Only, in the end, I felt sorry for what happened to one of the characters. Whether it was necessary or not, I shed a few tears. Characters Aurora is a wonderful figure who has excited me from the start. Her despair, her fear, and her hope that things will turn out for the better after all and that she will find out what she needs to know captivated and delighted me from the first moment. How she deals with the situation, never gives up and for whatever reason trusts a person she does not know and who is still familiar, was exciting and beautiful to watch. With Aurora, the writing duo has created an absolutely wonderful figure who will hopefully go on many adventures. Conclusion What a fantastic read. The long wait was worth it here. The mixture of humor, sarcasm, irony, and action-packed story is simply great! My absolute reading recommendation. Happy reading *This book was kindly provided to me by Fischer Sauerländer in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. Thank you. Therefore, the cover of the German edition is shown first in this review. Deutsche Rezension Stil Was für ein genial guter Mix aus Humor, Sarkasmus, Ironie und toller Story. Für mich eines der Lesehighlights im Jahr 2021. Und ja, mir ist bewusst, dass das Jahr noch jung ist. Aurora Erwacht lässt jedes Fantasy-Herz höherschlagen und hat mir erneut bewusst gemacht, das man nichts, aber auch gar nichts für selbstverständlich halten sollte. Amie Kaufman und Jay Kristoff zeigen mit diesem Buch erneut, wie großartig sie im Team sind und mit wie viel Herzblut und Leidenschaft sie ihrer Passion nachgehen. Schön die Szenen auf dem einen Planeten, die waren dann doch etwas gruselig mit all der Botanik. Aber trotzdem wundervoll zu lesen und unglaublich gut in die Gesamtstory eingebunden. Nur zum Schluss hin tat es mir leid, was da mit einer der Figuren passierte. Ob das für die Handlung nötig war oder nicht, ich habe jedenfalls ein paar Tränchen vergossen. Charaktere Aurora ist eine herrliche Figur, die mich von Anfang an begeistert hat. Ihre Verzweiflung, ihre Angst und ihre Hoffnung, dass sich die Dinge doch noch zum Guten wenden und sie erfährt, was sie wissen muss, hat mich vom ersten Moment gefesselt und erfreut. Wie sie sich mit der Situation auseinandersetzt, nie aufgibt und aus irgendwelchen Gründen einer Person vertraut, die sie nicht kennt und die doch vertraut ist, war aufregend und wunderschön zu beobachten. Mit Aurora hat das Autorenduo eine absolut wunderbare Figur erschaffen, die sich hoffentlich noch auf viele Abenteuer begibt. Resultat Was für ein fantastisches Lesevergnügen. Hier hat sich das lange Warten auf jeden Fall gelohnt. Die Mischung aus Humor, Sarkasmus, Ironie und actiongeladener Story ist einfach nur klasse! Meine absolute Leseempfehlung. Amie Kaufman Amie Kaufman grew up just one block from her local library and took full advantage of that fact. She spent her childhood summers re-creating with her sister their favorite books by camping in the back yard, mapping their neighborhood, climbing trees, and kissing the Blarney stone six times, thoroughly cementing her gift of the gab. She graduated with honors degrees in history, literature, and law, and a master´s degree in conflict resolution. Today she´s a full-time writer and lives with her husband and her rescue dog in Melbourne, Australia. Jay Kristoff Jay Kristoff is an internationally bestselling author of The Lotus War, The Illuminae Files, and The Nevernight Chronicles. He is the winner of four Aurealis Awards, an ABIA, nominee for the Locus award. David Gemmell Morningstar and Legend awards, named multiple times in the Kirkus and Amazon Best Teen Books list and published in over thirty countries, most of which he has never visited. He is as surprised about all of this as you are. He is 6´7 and has approximately 12,665 days to live. He abides in Melbourne with his secret agent kung-fu assassin wife and the world´s laziest Jack Russel. He does not believe in happy endings.

This review contains spoilers for Illuminae and Gemina. To see my reviews for Illuminae and Gemina, please follow the links here and here. Obsidio [The Illuminae Files, #3] by Amie Kaufman, Jay Kristoff Genre: YA science fiction My Rating: ★★★★ Description: After the destruction of Jump Station Heimdall, the race is on for research vessel Hypatia to make the long journey back through space to Kerenza V. There, BeiTech's mobile jump platform may be their only hope of getting their story back out to the rest of the universe. But supplies are running thin -- food, water, even oxygen, will run out before Hypatia makes it to Kerenza. In a race against time, Kady, Ezra, Hanna, and Nik struggle to compile both a plan to capture the jump platform and the rest of the Illuminae files. Back on Kerenza, Asha Grant is just trying to keep her head down. But when she runs into her former boyfriend, Rhys Lindstrom, she is sucked into a secret rebellion against the BeiTech occupation. Together, they might be able to send out their message to the universe -- but at what cost to themselves? Overall Thoughts Alright. You guys probably know by now that I loved this series. And I definitely loved this book, too. But there were a couple issues I had with the book that meant it couldn't compete with my favorite in the trilogy, Gemina. The Characters One of the biggest problems I had with the book was the new set of characters. You have Asha, Kady's cousin, who was trapped on Kerenza after the attack by BeiTech, and her former boyfriend, Rhys, but I feel that neither of them got enough page time for me to really care about them? I feel like I would have liked them more as characters if they had gotten a bit more development, but with all of the plot and character threads to wrap up in this book, I'm not sure if it would have been possible without serious detriment to the story. But I loved how all of the characters' stories intersected, and how all of them worked together to save the people on Kerenza and get their message to the rest of the universe. Plot/Pacing As usual, I really liked the plot for the story. It was really fast paced -- near the end, it was really, really intense, but I never lost track of where the story was going, or what was happening. It was also incredibly tense -- near the beginning of the book, Hypatia is faced with the threat of losing oxygen before they reach Kerenza (imagine running out of oxygen in the middle of outer space with no one to help you) and it only picks up from there. Also, there was one small twist -- maybe not even a twist -- that I loved so, so much. I can't say any more because of spoilers, but guys. I don't know why it excited me that much, but seriously, it excited me that much. (I'm dancing on the edge of fangirling right now, so I'm just going to leave it at that.) The ending was also excellent. I feel like it wrapped up the entire story so perfectly, and it just made me really, really happy. I'm not sure how I feel about the last little segment? On one hand, I like it, and I thought it was brilliant, and on the other hand, I did like the preceding segment better, so I'm really conflicted on that part. But oh well. These books were quite a wild ride, and I'm really glad I took the chance reading them! Content (potential spoilers) Recommended for ages 15 and up. Explosions, resulting in several people dying. Descriptions of blood, sometimes bordering on gory (though the violence in this book felt less gory than the violence in Illuminae. Could just be me, though.) A machine is used to intentionally collapse a section of a mine, killing the operator and several soldiers as well. Several large scale space battles similar to the ones in Star Wars. Hundreds of people die from suffocation. Language is mostly blacked out, as in the rest of the series, but it's pretty easy to tell what the characters are saying, despite that. A few words are not blacked out. A few instances of sexual references, nothing explicit that I can remember. There were a few instances of sexual innuendo. There is a reference that suggests two background female characters are lesbian, and another female character mentions having had romantic relationships with other women in the past. Mentions of the use of dust, a drug first introduced in Gemina. Nik smokes.

It certainly filled the Battlestar Galactica-shaped hole in my heart. -Victoria Aveyard, bestselling author of The Red Queen Read the New York Times bestselling blockbuster that critics are calling out-of-this-world awesome. The first in an epic sci-fi series unlike anything else out there. Kady thought breaking up with Ezra was the worst thing shed ever…

Book Overview   From bestselling author duo Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff comes the exciting finale in the trilogy that broke the mold and has been called "stylistically mesmerizing" and "out-of-this-world-awesome."Kady, Ezra, Hanna, and Nik narrowly escaped with their lives from the attacks on Heimdall station and now find themselves crammed with 2,000 refugees on the container ship, Mao. With the jump station destroyed and their resources scarce, the only option is to return to Kerenza--but who knows what they'll find seven months after the invasion? Meanwhile, Kady's cousin, Asha, survived the initial BeiTech assault and has joined Kerenza's ragtag underground resistance. When Rhys--an old flame from Asha's past--reappears on Kerenza, the two find themselves on opposite sides of the conflict. With time running out, a final battle will be waged on land and in space, heros will fall, and hearts will be broken.

The squad you love is out of time. Prepare for the thrilling finale in the epic, bestselling Aurora Cycle series about a band of unlikely heroes who just might be the galaxy's last hope for survival. 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 joining forces with two of the galaxy’s most hated villains? Um, okay, yeah. That too. Actually saving the galaxy, though? Now that will take a miracle.

The Illuminae Files by Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman is one of the most original series I have ever read. The books are all complex.

Resenha de Aurora Burning, segundo livro da trilogia Aurora Cycle da Amie Kaufman e Jay Kristoff.

"It certainly filled the Battlestar Galactica-shaped hole in my heart." --Victoria Aveyard, bestselling author of The Red Queen Read the New York Times bestselling blockbuster that critics are calling "out-of-this-world awesome." The first in an epic sci-fi series unlike anything else out there. Kady thought breaking up with Ezra was the worst thing she'd ever been through. That was before her planet was invaded. Now, with enemy fire raining down on them, Kady and Ezra are forced to fight their way onto one of the evacuating craft, with an enemy warship in hot pursuit. But the warship could be the least of their problems. A deadly plague has broken out and is mutating, with terrifying results; the fleet's AI, which should be protecting them, may actually be their biggest threat; and nobody in charge will say what's really going on. As Kady plunges into a web of data hacking to get to the truth, it's clear only one person can help her bring it all to light: Ezra. Told through a fascinating dossier of hacked documents--including emails, schematics, military files, IMs, medical reports, interviews, and more--Illuminae is the first book in a heart-stopping, high-octane trilogy about lives interrupted, the price of truth, and the courage of everyday heroes. "Brace yourself, because you're about to be immersed in a mindscape that you'll never want to leave." --Marie Lu, author of the bestselling Legend series "Prepare yourselves for Illuminae." --EW.com "You're not in for an ordinary novel experience. . . ." --Bustle.com "A truly interactive experience. . . . A fantastically fun ride." --MTV.com Don't miss the rest of the series The Illuminae Files_02: GEMINA The Illuminae Files_03 -- title to be revealed
