Fin was one of my favorite characters and I admit to wishing he got more screen time here (in the book with him on the cover). I didn’t dislike this, but I also didn’t enjoy it anywhere near as much as the first two books (especially book one). It’s complicated.Ĭue Zila, Fin, and Scarlett (and MAGELLAN!): making friends, making enemies, and making history? Sure, no problem.Ĭue Tyler, Kal, and Auri: uniting with two of the galaxy’s most hated villains? Um, okay. Everything went horribly wrong, naturally.īut as it turns out, not all endings are endings, and the team has one last chance to rewrite theirs. 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. 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. But for Anders, loyalty is more complicated than obedience, and friendship is the most powerful shapeshifting force of all.I borrowed an audio copy of Aurora’s End*, by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff through my local library. In order to rescue her, Anders must enlist at the foreboding Ulfar Academy, a school for young wolves that values loyalty to the pack above all else. She’s nothing like the brutal, cruel dragons who claimed her as one of their own and stole her away. Still, whether or not they’re family, Rayna is Anders’s only true friend.

So when twelve-year-old orphan Anders takes one elemental form and his twin sister, Rayna, takes another, he wonders if they are actually related. Everyone in Vallen is well aware that the ice wolves and scorch dragons are sworn enemies who live deeply separate lives.
