Aurora Rising Summary
From the internationally bestselling authors of THE ILLUMINAE FILES comes an epic new science fiction adventure.
The year is 2380, and the graduating cadets of Aurora Academy are being assigned their first missions. Star pupil Tyler Jones is ready to recruit the squad of his dreams, but his own boneheaded heroism sees him stuck with the dregs nobody else in the Academy would touch…
A cocky diplomat with a black belt in sarcasm
A sociopath scientist with a fondness for shooting her bunkmates
A smart-ass techwiz with the galaxy’s biggest chip on his shoulder
An alien warrior with anger management issues
A tomboy pilot who’s totally not into him, in case you were wondering
And Ty’s squad isn’t even his biggest problem—that’d be Aurora Jie-Lin O’Malley, the girl he’s just rescued from interdimensional space. Trapped in cryo-sleep for two centuries, Auri is a girl out of time and out of her depth. But she could be the catalyst that starts a war millions of years in the making, and Tyler’s squad of losers, discipline-cases and misfits might just be the last hope for the entire galaxy.
They're not the heroes we deserve. They're just the ones we could find. Nobody panic.

Review
I want to first thank Knopf Books for young readers and Netgalley for offering me a free copy for my honest review.
This book surpassed all of my expectations, I went in not knowing anything about it except the both Amie and Jay wrote another sci-fi book. I have no reason to be surprised that I loved this book. I always love every book I pick up by jay and I loved the Illuminae files so much. From the starts I just want to say I cannot recommend this book enough.
I loved the characters in this story, they were all very unique and diverse. I loved each one of their voices, none of them blended together. I love the witty and snarky banter between everyone. Auri did have one fault though in my opinion and it was taking in all the mean things said to her and never saying something back. I wish she had more of a bigger voice. Cat did annoy me at times but I love the twist in the end which made me really like her. Out of everyone I loved Kal! He was my precious baby throughout the whole book and I just wanted him to have his way at all times. And when things were revealed about how he felt it made me so giddy and happy.
The twist in the plot at the end had me gasping for air and for something to grab. It was so unexpected and I loved every second of it. Each word had me on my feet and I can not wait to read more of this amazing squad.
